Top 10 Tips for Traveller from Pro Photographers


1. Don’t just take photos; create them by planning your shoot. “If you plan a photo session in advance, no matter where you travel, you’ll shoot images you’ll be proud of nearly every time”  ~ Michael Doven
2.  Odd numbers are more interesting than even numbers. For example, opting for three trees in a landscape, instead of four, “is more visually appealing”  ~ Wendy Connett
3. Take note of what’s behind your subject. “The background is just as important as the foreground in the final look of the image”  ~ Larry Louie
4. Engage your subjects by talking to them – or using gestures if you don’t speak the language. “When you create a feeling of intimacy … with your subject, you can shoot stunning portraits” ~ Chase Guttman
5. In popular tourist spots, go out early in the morning when the locals are going about their business, but before the tour groups arrive  ~ Mitchell Kanashkevich
6.  Practice “situational awareness” to anticipate what’s coming. When doing ski photography, for instance, get into position before a storm in order to capture the best post-storm light.  ~ Marc Muench
7. Be patient. Compose a shot and then wait for action to enter the scene   ~ Nadia Shira Cohen
8. Know your camera. Great travel photographers are a mix of “an artist who can make the ordinary look beautiful and a geek who understands a camera and all its settings”  ~ Tom Robinson
9.  Snapshots record memories. Photographs tell stories. “A great picture is one where we don’t know if we like it better because of the aesthetics or the content” ~ Jesse Kalisher
10.  When photographing an object in motion, follow it “with your body and camera while you’re snapping the image. You’re freezing the image as it’s moving, but the background relative to you is moving at a different speed, so you can capture the feeling of speed and exhilaration.” ~ Peter Guttman

Lyrics of Christina Perri ft. Steve Kazee - A Thoushand Years Part II


Perri:
The day we met 
Frozen I held my breath 
Right from the start 
I knew it I found a home for my  heart 
Beats fast 
Colors and promises 
How to be brave 
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall 
But watching you stand alone 
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

Perri & Kazee:
One step closer

Perri:
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more


Kazee:
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

Kazee & Perri
One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer

Perri:
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more


Perri & Kazee
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
