2. After editing the picture, reduce your adjustments at least 50%
This is one trick most people don’t know. Heavily edited travel pictures don’t look so appealing and realistic. After making the adjustments you require simply go back and reduce them by 50%. Instagram has option to decrease or increase the intensity of a filter or edit. Cole sticks with this rule to edit all his travel photos. He also recommends not using clarity option as that’s to fix the contrast and under-exposure of the pictures. High clarity level makes your photos look photo shopped.
3. Try out the burst mode from the window of your car
You will be surprised to see what you get from the burst mode. In iphone, you simply have to hold the shutter button for some seconds to shoot images in burst mode. If you have a Samsung phone or android phone having Kitkat 4.4 plus, you can turn the burst mode through the camera settings.
4. You can take great pictures by bringing your phone right to the edge of your subject
You can see how beautifully the above image is captured. You can always use this trick to have reflective effects in your photos. It’s an amazing way to compose a photo. Make sure you balance the background frame.
5. When you click photos from Insta App, shoot in portrait mode
In portrait mode, the preset squares don’t appear. This way you will be taking a full sized photo. If you snap a picture through the square you won’t be able to crop it later.
6. Use volume key as your shutter button
In latest phones it’s a default option but in case you haven’t utilized this option, just go to your camera settings and turn on the option to set your volume key as your shutter button. This will save you from capturing shaky travel photos.
