 |  Best travel photography tips I know we have some serious photographers on this forum. Can you share some tips with me? I have a good camera, but I'm still not taking good pictures. Help! Thanks!

| low-light situations in low-light situations it's best to use a self-timer which clicks the shutter more smoothly than your finger can...saying this, many new digital cameras use "image stabilization" to help in low-light situations so you won't have to worry much about that. |

|  time of day is key it's a well known fact that taking photos early in the day or late in the afternoon gives you the better photo quality. Trust me, midday light is unforgiving and it will wash away the subtleties of contrast and flattening features of whatever you're trying to photograph. |

| Re: Best travel photography tips Excellent suggestions. I never thought about the time of the day in the photos or taking too many photos. And self-timers are smart too. I love all these suggestions!

| Re: Best travel photography tips My suggestion if you are having problems taking good photos of moving objects is to keep your camera in "program" mode and let the camera determine the settings for you. However, do learn how to use the other modes like Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority because you will be able to get even better pics! |

| Re: Best travel photography tips It helps to get the clutter out of the picture too. Try to focus on the people or the scenery and don't take pictures of piles, random stuff, buildings, etc. A tight focus can make for a good photo. And that's good advice about using the camera programs. They're there for a reason. |
