1. Use natural light
If you take pictures in low light areas and use flash, they often come out as overexposed with altered colours and washed out subjects.
If you find a place you want to take a picture of, it's best to snap a shot where natural light is abundant. This gives you a chance to play with shadows, while making your picture look appropriately lit and not overexposed.
2. Utilise gridlines to balance your shot
By turning on your smartphone camera's gridlines, they superimpose a series of lines on the screen that are based on the 'rules of thirds'.
Basically, the rule of thirds breaks an image down into thirds, both vertically and horizontally, so you have nine parts in total.
The theory suggests that if if you place your subjects within these intersections or along the lines, your photo will be more balanced, level, and allow viewers to interact with it more naturally.
It's a way to improve your compositions and make your pictures look nicer, even if you have little to no photography experience.
3. Use natural reflections
Our eyes are drawn to reflections, so take use of the opportunity to capture shots that showcase them.
Reflections are a unique type of photography, where you can capture images as to how its reflected. Additionally, there are many places you can find natural reflections, from puddles of water and metallic surfaces, to drinking glasses and sunglasses.
4. Make use of leading lines
Basically, leading lines is a photography technique that guides the viewer's eye in a photograph.
For example, in the picture above, the bridge would lead your eye towards the shadowy entrance of the forest. Leading lines are important because they direct a viewer's eye to where the photographer wants them to be looking.
They take the viewer around the journey in a photo and keeps them engaged. Leading lines are suitable for any kind of photography, from portraits to landscapes. Mainly, they add a unique aesthetic to your travel pictures.
5. Don't miss out on golden hour
The golden hour is a period of time shortly after sunrise and slightly before sunset. During this time, the sky appears redder and softer.
It is a great time to start shooting any type of outdoor photography from self portraits to landscape shots. According to photographymad, the warm glow during this hour adds a pleasing feel to the scene, while also adding texture and depth to an image.
6. Photograph silhouettes
Silhouettes and shadows make your pictures look more mysterious.
It is a creative photography technique that hides your subjects in the shadows and allows viewers to debunk their own meanings and stories from a photograph. You can take advantage of the golden hour to snap some quality silhouette pictures as well!
