The most important tip I would like to share about travel photography is never buy a new camera or lens before traveling to Bhutan or even Carhenge. The next most essential travel photography secret is that using your equipment has to be instinctive; when a photo op presents itself you may only have a few seconds to get a shot.

Using your camera has to be instinctive; you should see—or even anticipate—then click the shutter. It’ll make travel more fun, too.

There are many ways to share images these days, from social networks to clouds to full-fledged e-commerce platforms.

It’s also the ability to work cross-platform, include an e-commerce component, and allow for a “translator” that can make your site accessible to folks and even clients around the world that can add to its attractiveness and functionality.

Never sell or loan a memory card unless you’re willing to risk the possibility of sharing every image, video, tax return and any other file that’s ever been saved to it. The same applies to hard drives, SSDs and USB drives. Here’s why it happens, and how to protect yourself.

Everyone wants to create dramatic images with vibrant, natural colors that "pop.” And as you’ll see in the video below, there’s a bit more involved in making impactful photos than simply dragging the saturation slider to the right.
