Telling your Travel Story with Photos
June 14th, 2006Photography while traveling tells the story of your travels a thousand words at a time. It can also bring to life a person you met or a sight you saw. Make sure you tell the story that is true, and don’t leave out anything. This article from Digital Photography School helps you do this.
Today I want to continue with the themes of Travel Photography and adding Variety to your Shots in a post with one on mixing up your shots when you travel.
I recently had a friend take me through the shots that they took on their latest trip away (all 600 of them) and was amazed to see how many of his shots were of largely the same thing - buildings. Not only that all the buildings were photographed in much the same way in terms of framing and composition.
Now to give him credit - he had been traveling in Europe where there are some marvelous examples of architecture, but I came away from the experience of viewing his shots wondering a few questions that I would have thought his photos might have answered like:
• Who did you travel with?
• Where did you stay?
• What did you eat?
• Who did you meet? etc
