1. Find the Best Light

Finding the ideal light is critical when photographing outside. As most photographers are aware, there are certain times of day that are great for photography. These pockets of soft light are referred to as the golden hour, and they can occur either in the morning at dawn or in the evening at sunset. Photographing your surroundings during these times will result in some stunning photographs. However, because you will most likely be photographing throughout the day, direct sunlight will be unavoidable. Even though it may be harder to acclimatise to, you may take advantage of the sun. Instead of photographing in an open area where the sun is harsh and heavy, consider finding a pocket of shelter where the sun may shine through gently. Make imaginative use of the light and frame yourself to get the perfect photo.

2. Photograph Your Setting with a Mixture of Landscape and Portrait Shots

Whether you're capturing nature, a landscape, or a cityscape, changing the orientation of your shots will give diversity to your vacation photos. When photographing any location that is wide and horizontally long, use landscape to generate a picture that covers the full-frame. Use the portrait orientation to enhance perspective and depth when shooting a monument or landmark that stands tall rather than broad. Photographing the Eiffel Tower is an excellent example of switching views. If you are near enough to the tower to stand beneath it, a picture with a low vantage point might add a feeling of strength and majesty to the attraction. If you were to shoot the tower from a distance, such as from the Trocadero platform, you might use the landscape approach to capture not just the tower, but also the surrounding Paris metropolis.
