It&#8217;s sometimes really easy to get lost in a new environment, you see so many things going on, there&#8217;s a sensory overload. You&#8217;re treating your SLR like a point and click, and just holding down the button and hoping that something sticks. I tend to try and, and wind back a little bit, so when I travel, I now try and find a thing. So, it could be a color, today I&#8217;m photographing the color blue, today I&#8217;m looking for a certain shape. One of my absolute go to things, is reflections. I&#8217;m a huge fan of reflections in photography, and that&#8217;s usually the first place I start, if I can find reflections, I&#8217;m generally starting to get the ball rolling, and that&#8217;s inspiring my next photo, and my next photo. <\/p>\n<p> Here, we have a photograph of the U.S. Capitol building, taken with the reflection just after a slight rain. Got the reflection of the capitol dome there, and their solar paneling, and that was really my theme for the day. It was a really wet day in D.C., so lots of photos I was found were able to be captured in reflections in puddles on the road, or on the street, or even shimmering off of the glass of the building nearby. <\/p>\n<p> So, it doesn&#8217;t need to be a reflection, it can be a color, it can be a shape, it can be anything you want, but find something that ties in your photos in together, and that&#8217;s going to give you a place to start. It&#8217;s going to allow you to be a lot more selective in your photos, to make sure that every photo you take is worth taking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transcript One of the questions I get quite often, is, is, where do I start when taking photos while I&#8217;m on vacation, like, whats the first thing I look for?
