How to Document Your Trip the Right Way

In order to really capture the place that you're traveling to, you need to pay attention to what we call local character

This is the stuff that really sets apart the place that you are in. It distinguishes it from other cities or towns

So in Stockholm, what sets it apart is the harbors, the boats, the ferries, the alleyways, the really ornate and uniquely-styled buildings

In Amsterdam, it could be the cs, the boats, the biking. In Iceland, the nature, the thermal spas, the black sys

the black sand. In Hong Kong, it could be the ferries, the skylines, and the markets

In comparison to a contained scene like the greenhouse or the old town, this is going to be

stuff that you sprinkle throughout your film. It's just little details that set the city apart

that you're going to be coming across throughout your travel. Stop for a minute, capture the

rosebush, stop for a minute, capture the building, get a wide and enough close, and then stop

and continue your travel. Like always these same principles apply to photo except you going to be a bit more choosy The hanging plant might make really great local character for a video but it not necessarily something you want to stare at in your coffee table book Or maybe you do I don know

Just be choosy. Just make sure that you're selective about what you were photographing and that

you really want to take that with you to remember this experience

Okay, I'm finished with getting the local character here, and I'm going to put my phone away, put my camera away, and just experience it

Do the same. Okay, so we hope that this was helpful for you guys in learning how to capture a place and all of its unique qualities
