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.
