Don’t you love browsing through travel photos on Instagram? All those lush sceneries, breathtaking beaches, and awe-inspiring moments make you want to jump right in and take those photos yourself. And remember, you don’t need the best camera to take great pictures.
But then you wonder, how did they take that shot? Do I even take good travel photos? Well, you’re in luck with these in-depth photography hacks. Here are some of our best Instagram tips in 2020 (that we use on our feed) to make those travel photos more worthy so you can start raking in the double taps.
Take LOTS of photos
While quality may beat quantity elsewhere, in photography you can’t be shy to take a lot of shots. Go ahead, be as trigger happy as you want. That will ensure you have a selection of photos to choose. You’d be amazed how tiny shifts in your photos, such as small movements and incoming rays of light, can make or break a picture.
Try different angles
Some of the best and most exciting photos are taken from unusual angles. Be it from the floor, on top of a chair, or a bit tilted, perspectives make pretty interesting photos on your feed. Plus, it’s always nice to see the world from a different view.
Use your surroundings
Depending on your surroundings, you can bring your photos to life by interacting with the place where you are. Something as simple as a leaf or a flower takes on a fresh look and makes your photos eye-catching. Or it can be a set of stairs. Maybe a stained glass window. Let your creative juices flow.
Don’t be shy
It can be pretty intimidating sometimes to crouch to take that precious shot. Or it can be weird (or irresistible) to pose with that piece of fried chicken. And let’s not forget jump shots. Always remember, though, there’s nothing wrong with playing around for your photos, and that extra mile you took will reward you sweetly at the end of the day.
When in doubt, hyperlapse and boomerang
We know these tips were supposed to be for photos uploaded onto your Instagram feed, but aren’t hyperlapse and boomerang just awesome? They’re surefire ways to showcase your fun side and are painless to take. And who doesn’t love them?
