1. Good light makes the best pictures

Light seems to be one of the most important factors in clicking extraordinary pictures. Pictures without light can seem dull, sad and dark. Dark pictures are harder to interpret and enjoy. Hence, it is important that you can get as many shots in the light as you can, so while you are travelling to places make sure you wake up early for some good shots with an absolute amount of light. These shots with abundant light will look beautiful and will capture everything in its sight. Although you have to make sure that there is not so much light in the picture that it blinds the eye of the person looking at them.

2. A good pre-travel

When you have decided on the location of your trip, make sure you read all the possible guidebooks with valid information regarding all the places you will be visiting. Try to see the visual images of those places either taking the help of the internet, or articles and other resources. You can always take the help of fellow people who have visited the place before you, and get an idea about the most beautiful places to visit and capture. For your research, you can also make use of various social media platforms such as Instagram, Google Image search and even Pinterest.  

3. Photography rule 101- Rule of thirds

This rule simply means dividing the picture you have clicked into three different sections both horizontally and vertically. After dividing the section, keenly observe the image if all the important parts of the picture are included in those sections, then the picture is considered to be a good one. This rule is one of the most basic yet completely important ones in photography. When you take your pictures following this rule, the picture will turn out to be amazing every time.

4. Experimentation with the composition

Take your first shot of the place your eyes captured, look at the picture for a while and look for compositions, think out of the box. These might include asking questions such as, from where will the picture look its best? After deciding that, take on some low-angle pictures or jump on a platform to take a shot from a little up ground. In addition to the angles, playing with the distance from the objects in the picture can add a little more spice to your clicked picture. 

5. Take a breath!

While taking a lot of pictures, do not rush into the picture head-on, take your time. Take your time, and have a patient approach to clicking the pictures. This will help you pay more attention to details; this will enable you to figure out different compositions, angles and other features that might add up to the picture in a good way and make it look outstanding. This patience will surely help you in turning something basic into something very extravagant and picturesque. 

6. Discover new spots

Now that you have visited all the places that were on your list, try to roam around freely and find some beautiful spots that will have you retrospect their history and other information. Spots like these are usually deep-seated in the destination and not many tourists know about them.
