Very photography, traveling.

Although we don't have much time to study the historical background of a place, it's easy for us to know the local situation and the opening hours of various scenic spots.

For example, when will the scenic spots open and close, or the local sunrise and sunset time, etc. This information can be easily obtained from the internet or photography APP, and this important information will greatly improve the success rate of shooting.

When looking for a hotel or dining place, we should give priority to the change of vision, especially those with balconies and roofs and high vision. Sometimes the best works of this trip are taken on the roof of the hotel and the balcony of the restaurant.

Although there are many ways to improve the quality of photos afterwards, such as Photoshop and Lightroom, some effects are difficult to achieve in post-production.

For example, the anti-reflection effect of polarizer and the long exposure flow effect presented by nd filter, so it is best to take two commonly used effect filters with you before departure.

Focusing has always been the most basic but very important part of photography. In the dark night scene, sometimes the camera focusing system will misjudge, which will eventually lead to blurred and out-of-focus photos.

Therefore, in some important scenes that need to be shot, it is suggested to switch to manual focusing mode to shoot multiple photos, and use the screen magnification of 10 times to confirm manual focusing to avoid the blur error of photos.

The best shooting time is often about 20 or 40 minutes before and after sunrise and sunset, which is the so-called golden moment. At this time, the light contrast is obvious, the color temperature is rich and the saturation is high.

Next time you pass by cities and scenic spots on your trip, you might as well visit them in prime time, which will help us to take the most perfect and wonderful photos.

There is a foreign proverb that if you get a lemon, make it into lemon juice, which means you should always come up with a matching plan. In case of heavy rain or other force majeure factors during the trip, don't lose heart, we can switch to other types of shooting.

For example, if the outdoor weather is bad, we can shoot indoor buildings instead, or boldly challenge the underwater photography style. After all, we are all traveling far, how can we give up easily?

When we travel, don't just bring enough toilet clothes, and so does photography. We need to prepare an extra camera, several sets of spare batteries, several memory cards and other spare photographic equipment.

In addition, photos should also be backed up with laptops, tablets, OTG devices or cloud storage, so as to be more secure and more secure.
