For many, spring is the light at the end of the winter tunnel. Yet for photographers, it is the light at the end of the lens that makes spring most welcome. We find ourselves drawn to the season’s bright colors and warming up to the wanderlust that takes over the coming months.
Whether publishing a photography book or a travel magazine, spring deserves its own place on the page. Especially in an increasingly digital space, we know that outstanding content is best accompanied by outstanding imagery.
In order to do your wanderings justice, it’s important to strengthen the foundation of your photography beforehand. Pack your rucksack full of handy tips and tricks, like those included below, and then go on. Indulge your senses in all that the new seasons have to offer. When you return, share some of it with your readers.
If you’re already out the door, you’ll find a few tips to get you started below. We hope you enjoy these handy tips and links.
- Get close to the scenery. It was Robert Capa who said, “If your photographs aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.”
- Leverage the light. Use golden hours like early morning, late afternoon or early evening for the most dramatic effects.
- Speaking of lighting, watch your white balance. Compliment the natural beauty by turning off your camera’s white balance for the truest, clearest color.
- Dress for the occasion. Pack on the layers for changing temps, but don’t pack so much you can’t enjoy your journey.
- Get back to the basics. The Rule of Thirds never goes out of style, so align your subject along the intersections of nine equal squares within the frame for more drama.
