📸 5 Tips for Travel Photography

Image
Tip #1: Establish the Shot Visually telling the story of your adventure starts with conveying an overall sense of the place. You want to create an image that captures the essence of the landscape, the wildlife that calls it home, and what it feels like to be there in that moment. Tip #2: Be Ready for Action Capturing wildlife behavior can be challenging when you’re on the move. You can increase your odds of success by setting your camera to burst mode with a fast shutter speed, then pre-focusing where the action is likely to take place.

🛰️ Weather Apps + Services

Image
  Whenever you are planning an outdoor activity, checking the weather and forecast should always be one of the first steps in your process. You never know when a thunderstorm could roll through the beach or a snowstorm in the mountains, and the last thing you want to do is get caught in a storm that you are unprepared for. While there are a ton of options for you to choose from, there are generally a few that stand out amongst the rest. These are the apps and services that allow you to drill down to forecasts by the minute, plan your trip 24, 48, and 72hrs in advance (or longer), and stay connected while you're offline. While weather forecasting is still an imperfect art, we've never lived through a time where there have been more sensors, satellites, and weather stations telling us about the world around us.
