Thank you for the feedback and questions from last week’s article on travel photography. Based on the conversations I’ve had this past week, many of you are looking for more tips to improve your vacation photos.

Jennifer’s Travel Photography Tips, Part II

#6 – Many of us take hundreds of photos during the course of a day while we travel. By the end of the day, looking back on them it can be hard to determine exactly which overlook a particular photo was captured. As you change locations throughout the day take photos of signs or landmarks that can help you identify the photos that follow.

#7 – Don’t geo-tag the locations when you post photos to social media. While the information can be recorded for personal reference, many times sites are becoming overwhelmed by travelers looking to create the same shot.

#8 – Including people in your photos can help to provide scale, especially vast landscapes or intricate architecture. A photo of a beautiful European door can be a work of art, however, without a person standing in the doorway, you may not be able to fully appreciate the workmanship that went into carving a 20′ masterpiece.

#9 – Get the entire family in the photo! Sure, selfies are great and sometimes you can easily find a fellow tourist to snap a shot of the whole family together, but why leave things to chance? Hiring a professional to join your family in destination for a quick photo shoot will leave you with stunning photos that you’ll be proud to show off.

#10 – Don’t leave those photos trapped in a device once the vacation is over. Display them! I’ve written many articles on keeping your vacation memories alive, let me know if you are still struggling and I’ll be happy to point you in the right direction.
