How Do You Take Great Travel Photos Explained In Less Than 10 Minutes. Hi and welcome to Episode 80 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick, and in each episode I will explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes (ish) without the irrelevant details. What I tell you is based on my lifetime of photographic experience. And not Google.

Here is the answery bit

This is what I do to try to take great travel photos

1. Research the area
2.  Look at other people photos of a location
3.  When you get there find things to photograph that no one else is publishing
4.  Check the weather
5.  Check timings of things
6.  Get the headline photos
7.  Explore, explore, explore
8.  Then look a bit deeper
9.  Get different things from the headlines
10.  Look for details
11.  Try unusual viewpoints and angles
12.  Remember you don’t have to travel to take travel photos
13.  Be prepared
14.  Gear choices
15.  Memory card management
16.  Put yourself in the frame!
17.  Try some new stuff
18.  Enjoy yourself
19.  Share what you have created
