A Primer to Click Great Photos in Photography Tours

Joining a photography tour is a great way to explore new places with like-minded individuals. It’s also a good opportunity to practice your photography by taking pictures of subjects in their natural habitat. Some of the best photography tours will immerse you in nature and wildlife and arranged to suit your photography classes. If you are about to join one, you will want to make sure that you can take great photos every time to satisfy your needs and to impress your mentor and colleagues. So, here are some tips to help you shoot better in the wild:

 

  • Get to know the venue – Familiarize yourself with the flora and fauna, as well as the terrain that are native to the place you will have your photography tour.  Do your homework. That way, you can prepare yourself and discover the best settings in your camera to capture different elements in that venue more effectively.

  • Make sure your camera is good at it – Mirrorless cameras and DSLRs are the best cameras to bring in photography tours. Pro- and mid-level models are usually weather-sealed, can work with a variety of lenses, and be set in manual mode.

  • Bring the right gear – Make sure you have a sturdy tripod. You could also consider connecting it to a Bluetooth shutter. A polarizing filter may also help protect your lens, while reducing reflections from water. It may also enhance the color of greenery and the sky.

  • Bring the right lenses – Invest in a good telephoto lens, which can help you shoot from long distances. Make sure they come with optical stabilization to reduce shaking, which can occur because of extreme magnification. There are cheap plastic telephoto lenses, too, and they could suffice as long as you keep them steady by placing your camera on a reliable tripod.

  • Keep your gear and camera protected – Photography tours may expose you and your equipment in extreme conditions, so make sure that you and your camera and accessories are well-protected.

  • Practice – Try taking photos of stray cats or birds, as they are usually like flighty wild animals.
