When Prepare travel photography, once you have decided which equipment to bring with you, there are various other things you can do at home before leaving. If taking pictures will be a priority, plan your trips keeping in mind your goals. So the time spent researching the goal, preparing to deal with obstacles and creating lists of shots will be rewarded by the greater opportunities to take interesting photos. Shooting extemporaneously, without preparation, hardly allows you to find yourself in the right place at the right time. It is also necessary to have all the time necessary to familiarize yourself with your equipment. So develop the shooting techniques and think about how the images will be managed and stored.
Research
Already in the travel planning phase, you can learn many things about your destination, useful for taking beautiful photos and not being unprepared on arrival. In addition to the obvious information, collect news on potential photographic subjects. Also try to discover when markets and festivals take place and what are the best scenic spots and the times of sunrise and sunset. Then look at the images on the websites, in the brochures, in the magazines and in the books dedicated to your destination.
