Nowadays, it’s almost impossible to find someone who has never shared their holiday photos, because we have so many different social platforms with which to share them. We always take pictures while traveling, even if we don’t do it regularly during our everyday life. Next time you’re going on a trip, use these 5 simple tips to improve your photography and impress your friends on social media. No matter which device you prefer to use - from a brand-new DSLR to an iPhone 4S, this useful advice will always come in handy!
Going Beyond Stereotypes
In the age of Instagram and Facebook, it’s far too easy to flick through someone's timeline and find hundreds of similar snapshots of the same place or city you visited. And while you are there, you will feel like there are some photos that you need to take without fail. Put these stereotypes out of your mind once and for all! Forget about what others have already done and concentrate on your own travel experience. Stay as creative as possible and try to take photographs from an original perspective. This way, you’ll train your mind to see things differently.
Focus on the Details
One of my favorite things about visiting new places is to pay attention to the tiniest details and draw an analogy between a particular city and your hometown. There is always something magical about the uniqueness of an area you’ve never seen before. And searching for those differences is an excellent way to improve your photography and make it extraordinary. To find fresh details about a new place, start by considering its colors, textures, patterns and design elements. It may sound simple, but this can show you a lot about the town and its citizens.
Reduce the Pressure
Don’t feel like you have to take your camera everywhere you go and shoot everything on your way. The most common mistake to make is to take thousands of pictures, thousands of which will be absolutely worthless. As a result, you’ll spend too many precious moments behind the camera and waste time that could be spent exploring. Being 'in the moment' helps you to take photos you like and helps you avoid “blindfold” shooting.
Learn about your Camera before your Journey
One of the biggest mistakes that a traveler can make is not allocating enough time to learn the photo basics and practice with their camera before leaving, especially if you decide to update your gadgets just before the trip. Take the time to make sure that you know your camera well and learn all the tools, functions and editing techniques before you go.
Tell a Story
Apply the concept of an overall story to your travel photos and you’ll be totally amazed how completed and cohesive it looks. Try to show the story of a new place in your snapshots by taking pictures of nature landscapes, the food of the region, hotels, locals, etc. Simple elements of the provincial streets can really help your photos shine and go towards creating a breathtaking travel story.
Indigenous Student Cultural House
Indigenous Student Cultural House, called ISCH for short, appeared as a result of collaboration between the Indigenous Student Centre and Residence and Housing. It was done in order to create a new community for learning and living available at Simon Fraser University, particularly its campus in Burnaby. So let’s all go back to September 2016 when it all began.
