 The majority of our photographs are taken when we are travelling on holiday, whether at home or abroad. The term travel photography can be a bit of a misnomer as we take all sorts of photography while we travel. For example wildlife, cityscapes, landscapes and portraits. So picking a lens for the type of photography you're most likely to take is a key consideration. There are some great all-round lenses that will capture the vast majority of images that you want. A lightweight varied and versatile lens will cover most situations. A lens such as an 18 to 55mm or 24 to 70mm will allow you to shoot panoramic landscapes and intimate city and portrait images without having to change your lens. If you want to take pictures of the interior or exterior of large buildings it's also worth considering a wide-angle lens such as a 10 to 18mm. This will allow you to get shots close to your subjects without cutting out edges of a magnificent church or castle for example. There are other things to consider when taking travel photographs such as telling a story. Remember that the story starts at home with packing your suitcases and taking a taxi to your hotel destination. Capturing images out of the taxi window as you speed towards your villa can make your photo album more visually interesting and help tell the story of the locations you visited. It's always worth taking photographs of subjects you consider interesting. Make sure you fill the frame with whatever you believe makes for the perfect picture. Also use a mixture of landscape and portrait styles to make interesting images. And don't forget you can hold the camera above your head and close to the ground as well. Add further interest by experimenting with different angle shots. More than anything you want to convey the atmosphere you felt on your travels. Find something that visually captures the emotion of a place and take a picture. That might be a stunning sunset, the people in the culture or the food for example. Finally find a fitting clothes to your images. This could be a sunset over your favorite beach or taken from the taxi on the way back to the airport to help finish your story. Think about how important it is to capture some video on your travels. Most digital cameras have video capability. Make sure it's at least HD quality as this allows you to capture the best quality footage at the click of a button. If you want to do a vlog the camera with the flip out screen would be best so that you can easily film yourself.
