First and foremost, give some thought to the factors that led you to select this particular location out of the myriad of other possible vacation spots around the globe.
Whatever it is that draws your interest—the beach, the rides, the mountain, the galleries, the food—clear it’s that you’re excited about it.
You wouldn’t be going there if it didn’t work out, would you?
You want to take pictures of a number of different things, and one of them is this location or activity (or lack of activity).
However, there are most likely a great deal of additional fascinating characteristics of the location of which you are not yet aware.
The next step is to do some study in this area.
1) Figure out which camera best suits your needs, whether it be your phone, your GoPro, or your Insta360, whatever your preference may be.
2) Consider using ND filters or polarised filters to enhance the final image if you are shooting outside. These filters can be of great benefit by preventing glare and giving your image a cinematic look.
3) Make sure your hands are steady, take the picture three times, and choose the best one.
4) If you are going to be filming for longer than thirty minutes, make sure you have enough batteries, or bring an extra set of batteries with you.
5) Always carry a lens cleaner with you, and clean your lens before filming the beautiful sunrise or sunset.
6) Keep up with the latest technological developments, as we are all aware that new cameras are being introduced several times a year that are now capable of producing 4K, 6K, and 8K images with an astonishing high quality.
And lastly, remember to have fun and stay safe.
