Photography Tips

  • On cloudy days, use the fill flash feature on your camera to lighten dark shadows
  • For scenic photos, take pictures at early morning or late afternoon. The light is softer and more ethereal.
  • At the beach, protect your camera and film from sand by keeping them in zippered plastic pouches when not in use.
  • To capture the magnificence of a landscape or huge monument, include some people for scale.
  • Always pack extra batteries, and film or memory cards.
  • If you're like me and you take many hundreds of shots with your digital camera, make back-ups with a multimedia storage device (see below in Recommended Gear).
  • Take a disposable camera or two for panoramic shots, beach use, or emergency back-up.
