If you want to be a solo traveler, you should arrange the travel route according to the time, determine which scenic spots are representative and must go; What are the secondary ones. If you are traveling with a group, you should also know the travel route of the group and the scenic spots you want to visit in advance, so that you can take photos calmly at that time. Select appropriate photographic equipment.
Travel? There are two types of photography: one is to take photos as a souvenir of "this trip", focusing on records; One is to take photography as another eye found in tourism, focusing on creation. If you belong to the former type, then it is enough to have a "fool" camera with perfect performance or a universal camera with fixed lens.
However, if you are an amateur photographer, the following equipment may be necessary: one or two SLR bodies with good performance, so that you can use two types of film to shoot at the same time. Two lenses with different focal lengths (including 28mm wide angle and 200mm medium and long focal length). Others, such as flash lights, light shields, filters, balloon brushes, as well as spare batteries and small notepads, are also indispensable. Take as much film as possible because scenic spot The film sold is not only expensive, but also difficult to guarantee the quality. Many photography lovers like to carry a stupid and heavy tripod. In fact, there are few opportunities to use a tripod in tourism.
There are two reasons: First, in the peak tourist season, the scenic spots are full of people, and the time arrangement is also very compact. Without enough time and space, the advantages of tripods cannot be brought into play. 2、 In many cases, tripods are not suitable for use, such as on hillsides, on water, or in the process of traveling. At this time, the tripod can only become a burden and encumbrance.
In contrast, a tripod is much more portable and practical, but most people do not have a tripod. According to my experience, just take a mini tripod, spend a few yuan to buy the cheapest crutch after arriving at the scenic spot, and fix the tripod on the handle of the crutch, which becomes a simple monopod. When you need to use it, hold the crutch against the ground, rocks or other objects, and you can shoot steadily. In addition, all equipment shall be operated according to the procedure before departure to ensure that they can function normally.
Shoot according to the theme and theme. Everything in the journey is a new world for you, which can make you have the impulse to shoot. Natural scenery, places of interest, folk customs, etc. Before shooting, you should classify them into themes, and then choose the best angle according to your previous understanding and current feelings. Shooting should be focused and themed, which can not only reflect the style of people and things, but also express their subjective feelings.
For the content that you think is important, you may as well take several more pictures with different films from different angles or according to different combinations of cameras. This seems to waste film, but the probability of success is greatly increased, so as to avoid a "lost" hand and become eternal hatred.
When shooting, you should also take notes of the scenes and your feelings as much as possible, so that when you get home, you can add vivid words to these photos with pictures and texts, and the meaning of this trip is also sublimated.
