Taking good pictures allows you to make your favourite holiday memories last forever. Here are some of our tips to achieve it.

After your holidays, your brain is filled with precious, detailed memories that you cannot remember forever, since you must make room for new ones to be created. Tomorrow is World Photo Day – here are some useful tips on how to take great pictures and make your memories last a lifetime.

Practice until you’ve had enough – then practice some more

You must assess your experience and devote many hours to photography in order to improve. Your stay in Elba Estepona might be the perfect time to start, as this city has some fantastic views.

Think the picture before you take the picture

Examine the landscape and think about the framing while looking through the lens, since distances may vary. Once you have found the perfect picture – shoot!

If a picture has too much noise, make it black and white

Visible grain is a common issue in night and indoor photography, especially when taken on a mobile phone or digital camera. This can be vastly improved by making the picture black and white.

Watch the exposure

Pictures with extremely dark or light areas are not usually that pleasant to look at. To avoid this, you can try slightly changing your location or readjusting the ISO, aperture and diaphragm settings.

Familiarise yourself with the HDR setting

The HDR setting, which combines several photos taken at different exposures, has now been introduced to most cameras and smartphone cameras. This setting is particularly effective for areas of high lighting contrast.

Do not shy away from filters

Using filters is not cheating – it can be an improvement! Some pictures may look dull at first, but suddenly look award-winning after editing.
