There are several compositions that must be considered before taking a travel photo, so the results of the photos taken will look more alive and memorable. The composition must be considered, as follows:
1. Clarity
Whatever subject is taken, make sure the object to be taken has clarity, a photographic work must be clear and do not need an explanation. When going to take pictures, focus on what makes them interesting and have clear meanings to see.
2. Angles
When going to take a location that is often photographed, try to take photos from different angles that will make the image look more unique. An interesting photo, which is a photo they don't normally see. Walking around the subject to see if shooting from different heights or distances will help make the image more attractive. If the subject size is less than half the size of the viewfinder, try placing the subject to the side and insert something else that is more interesting.
3. Simplicity
The objects that we often see in everyday life, we often ignore. Even though these objects can sometimes be a more interesting though simple photo object. Look at the contrast when taking photos of very simple objects, for example, the horizontal line next to the vertical gar-is can help suppress the subject of the shot, as well as the color in the image.
4. Color photos
Sometimes in giving color to an object or atmosphere is not always aligned, even though colors can determine the mood of the image, it can clarify the meaning of the photo, and must be used to increase the subject or adjust the overall atmosphere of the photo. There are several colors that give the impression, like red gives the impression of power, orange can give a feeling of warmth, and there are also colors that provide a soft atmosphere, and can also create a feeling of peace and calm.
5. Light
Light is the most important element and is needed in photography, the right light in taking pictures will give good results, but if it is wrong in adjusting the lighting, it can be ascertained the results of the images taken will be bad.
Often, if we go to a place that we think is interesting and we capture it by taking pictures. In taking these pictures, just pay attention to an interesting object without noticing the presence of light or not, and the results of the images we take are less attractive and look ordinary.
6. People
Photos of people encountered on the trip can produce mixed images. In order to capture the essence of the person encountered, always try to see them as the first people and the second photography subject. Know a little about the power of the people you take pictures of.
