Yes, creativity never goes unnoticed. Instead of mimicking the photos clicked by all and sundry, get more creative and bring out an angle that is not seen anywhere. A fresh perspective always wins some brownie points.

Locals make a great subject

An innocent smile, a piercing gaze, or just a nonchalance – all of these add a certain amount of aura to your pictures.

If you go through the photography books, they will surely tell one thing – protect your camera lens with a UV filter. Well, we are not debating about the protection it provides, but it definitely adds another layer and makes it difficult for the light to pass through. We recommend you to invest in a lens hood instead.

Mornings and evenings are great

The best photos are the ones taken during the mornings and evenings when the sunlight is optimum. Once mid-days hits, the blinding brightness doesn’t let you take impressive photographs. So choose the time wisely.

Be Unique

Always find your own style. Forget about the cliché shots from vintage points, instead allow yourself the liberty to break some rules. Trust us when we say this, no great piece of art was produced by colouring within the lines.
