Revamping Your Feed—Ways to Improve Your Vacation Photos

It's not always essential to bring souvenirs home from your vacation. But it's important to take great photos that capture the essence of the journey in your camera roll. And going through vacay photos and sharing them with your friends and family is the best post-getaway activity.

But, have you ever been on a great trip but returned with not-so-great pictures? It happens to every traveler at some point. The exciting trip turns into a disappointment when you find yourself capturing non-Insta-worthy images.

To help turn things around, we’ve come up with some fantastic tips and tricks for capturing great vacation images. These tips will give you an overview of how to capture and edit the shots, and how to revamp your Instagram grid or Facebook feed with those images.  

Technical Tips

Before anything, it's essential to have your equipment and all the necessary peripherals to capture images. The gear you have is enough if you use it right. This section covers some technical tips and tricks that’ll help you take scenic shots:

Fresh Batteries: Don’t forget to keep extra batteries for your camera. If you intend to capture shots on your phone, keep a power bank handy to avoid low battery hassle.

Extra Media Cards: This one’s a must. Memory cards are a necessity for trips. They’ll save you a lot of time and effort. And you can capture hundreds of images without worrying about insufficient memory.

Gain Control with a Tripod Stand: It’s difficult to capture images in tourist-centric locations. Busy streets & crowded pathways make it tough to find the right angle and capture the perfect shot. So, invest in a good quality tripod to stay in control and capture with balance and ease.  

Use Gridlines: There’s a gridline option in cameras and phones that assists in capturing aligned photographs. Using gridlines saves a lot of time spent in balancing and straightening the frames before shooting.

Multi-Shots: Work smart, not hard. Capture multi-shots in the same frame to choose the perfect shot later instead of shooting retakes.

Creative Tips

Here’s how to unleash your creativity while photographing on your holiday trip:

Research the Destination: Know where you’re headed to. Research the most photogenic places. Get inspired by other pictures already taken in that location.

Take Your Time: Don’t rush your shots. Take your time with the process. Make mistakes and appraise your work. Bask in the serenity of the atmosphere by wandering around and observing the location.

Add a Human Touch to Your Images: Don’t just capture buildings and scenic nature, add a human touch by incorporating candid people in your frame.

Shoot the Deliciousness! Shoot your food. Food pictures work amazingly on Insta-feeds.

Capture Unique Perspectives: Millions of people have photographed the Eifel Tower in the same way. It's time for you to get creative, play with perspectives, and capture a unique shot.

It’s All in the Details: Tell a story through your photos. Pay attention to small details and capture a self-engaging photograph.

Have Fun: Don't forget to have fun and enjoy your destinations' beauty with the naked eye because your brain is the best memory card of all.

Ensure that you don’t over-edit your pictures before uploading them on your feed. Stay true to your style and use quality tools to balance out the editable elements.

Top Travel and Holiday Destinations to Plan for Next Year

If you’re a travel enthusiast and had big plans for this summer, we understand how frustrating the current situation may be for you. With so much uncertainty about traveling, no one can say for sure what future vacations and holiday destinations will look like. That said, it’s never too soon to plan for your next holiday—even if it’s a year away!

Here are our picks for the top travel destinations in 2021.

Island Destinations

Once regular travel commences across the world, you can expect things to be a little different than what they used to be. Island destinations have always been popular for tourism, but they’re likely to emerge as the uncontested winners for future vacations. This is because island destinations allow for plenty of social distancing—something we’ll have to get used to even during future travels—while offering travelers a luxurious stay.

You have dozens of island destinations to choose from for your 2021 holiday. The Maldives is a favorite spot and attracts tourists from all across the world each year. Not only are the Maldivian Islands absolutely magnificent, but they also provide visitors the opportunity to indulge in all sorts of water sports. The year-round warm waters are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, parasailing, and surfing.

Thailand is another famous destination, especially popular because of its national parks, palm-fringed beaches, and rich tribal cultures. Then there is Fiji with its white sand shores, Bali with its breathtaking mountains, and Bora Bora with its clear waters. And of course, who can forget Hawaii?

It’s time to gear up for some island adventure!

Mediterranean Terrains

Everyone dreams of a standard Europe trip, but have you considered taking a Mediterranean holiday? Spain, France, Italy, and Germany are all cool travel options, but it’s time to think outside the box and plan a trip not many people think of.

Cyprus, Portugal, and Greece are wonderful options if you want to explore a different culture and take a trip down history while you’re at it. And hey, while you’re on your Mediterranean holiday, you can even make stops at sites within France, Spain, or Italy to get a taste of that part of Europe. It’s all in how you plan your routes!

Wildlife-Based Trips

Want to reconnect with nature on your next international holiday? How about going for a wildlife-based trip and marveling at the gazillions of species of flora and fauna? Wildlife tourism has become an industry of its own, and there are so many places that encourage this across the world.

African countries are the first places that come to mind, of course, known for their safari tours and exquisite savanna landscapes. However, there are other options as well. Both Australia and New Zealand have a strong wildlife scene and are home to several animal species unique to those places. Similarly, Canada is a favorite whale-watching spot for those who love marine life.

Pick the type of wildlife you want to see up-close, and you’ll find yourself with plenty of options to choose from.

How to Use Less Plastic When You Travel

Did you know that 8 million pieces of plastic waste find their way into the ocean every day? Considering the rate at which humankind has planned the demise of this planet, it’s a miracle that Mother Nature has sustained itself to this day.

But that’s not going to be the case for too long. Plastics make up 60 to 90 percent of all marine debris, which has the potential to disrupt our ecosystem and cause irreparable damage.

As citizens of the world, it’s our responsibility to reduce this strain—and the only way to do it is by minimizing our carbon footprint and reducing our plastic waste.

Here are a few ways you can limit the use of plastic during your traveling endeavors.

Stop Buying Plastic Bottles

Did you know that buying bottled water in countries with waste management issues makes you directly responsible for the problem?

Whether you’re on your dream holiday or visiting a new city for a quick meeting, you should say no to water bottles and opt for a water filter instead. This will help you clean tap water and make it safe to drink.

Don’t Pack a Plastic Toothbrush

Say no to plastic toothbrushes and make space for a bamboo toothbrush instead.

Bamboo toothbrushes are biodegradable and natural toothbrushes with soft bristles that work exactly like your plastic toothbrushes—the only difference is that they won’t harm the planet.

Don’t Use Single Plastics in Hotels

Hotels are a hoarder’s dream come true, but at what cost?

From small shampoo and moisturizer bottles packets of reusable toiletries, it all comes packed in single-use plastics that get thrown into the garbage as soon as you’re done using them, and ultimately into the ocean.

You can ask your hotel manager to arrange eco-friendly soap and shampoo bars for you.

Shop at Local Markets for Plastic-Free Goods

If you’re looking to make your own meal in the new city and want to find ingredients, heading out to the supermarket may not be the best idea.

Instead, you can visit local and organic farmers’ markets that have plastic-free items. Carry a tote bag with you and explore the swirling cacophony of smells and colors!

 Now, all that’s left to do is plan a trip so you can contribute to making this world a better place!
