8. Candid filming

Snapshots are a great way to capture the true essence of a place. Instead of asking people to pose for photos, try to capture them in their natural environment. This helps make your photos look more realistic.

9. Look for patterns and symmetries

Pattern and symmetry can make for stunning photos. Look for repetitive shapes, lines and patterns in your shot. This can create a sense of order and harmony in your photos.

10. Edit your photos

Editing photos can make a huge difference in their appearance. Even simple edits like adjusting brightness and contrast can make an image more visually appealing. There are many free photo editing applications, such as VSCO and Snapseed, that you can use to enhance your photos.

11. Use leading lines

Leading lines are another great way to add interest and depth to your travel photos. Look for natural or artificial lines that draw the viewer's eye to the image. Examples of guide lines are roads, bridges, and railings.

12. Play with depth of field

The term "depth of field" refers to the range of distances that appear in focus in a photograph. A shallow depth of field, where only the subject is pointing in one direction and the background is blurred, can add depth and make your subject stand out. Using a wide aperture (low f-number) and focusing on your subject is the way to get a shallow depth of field.

13. Follow quota rules

The laws of probability state that an odd number of subjects in a photo is more visually appealing than an even number of subjects. When composing, try to include an odd number of elements, eg B. Three people or five buildings.

14. Look for reflections

Reflections can add an exciting element to your travel photos. Check the rating of water, glass or other reflective surfaces. They can add depth and symmetry to your photos.

15. Be polite
