13 Tips MUDAH untuk menangkap gambar yang AWESOME ketika travel!


[NEWBIES VERSION] - professional mohon jangan kecam saya hehe


1.travel bersama rakan yang pandai ambil gambar. 












 
 2. Kalau tak pandai xpe, janji kawan sporting untuk tolong ambilkan gambar. 



3. Kalau rakan travel tak sporting juga, takpe, cool je, bawa tripod sendiri atau pastikan muka tebal tak malu tersipu-sipu untuk tegur strangers dan minta depa ambilkan gambar. Boleh jadi, ini menjadi satu titik pertemuan jodoh korang. Ahaksss.





4. Google terlebih dahulu gambar-gambar di tempt yang bakal anda pergi, ambil feel dan berangan dulu gambar bagaimana yang anda impikan atau scroll balik gambar kawan-kawan yang pernah dulu buat korang jeles kat instagram. 





 
5. Ambil ribuan gambar, cuba sahaja dari pelbagai sudut, depan, belakang, jauh, dekat, angel atas, dll.



 

6. Pastikan bawa extra SD card, bawa laptop supaya boleh transfer gambar atau ada account yang boleh synckan gambar, seperti Dropbox, Google Drive atau MEGA ; kot2 memori phone penuh, lepas sync, boleh delete terus.



7.Bila pose, set mode : POYO habis,baru feel bila ambil gambar. tak perlu cover macho/ayu. Karang belek2 gambar dalam kamera otw flight balik Msia nyesal tak sudah tak cuba posing poyo2, nangislah dalam kapal terbang sorang2...



   8. Pelbagaikan pose! Antara pose blh cuba; gaya Titanic, gaya meditasi, gaya kuak lentang, gaya I believe I can fly dll



 
 9. pastikan gambar nature lebih banyak dari anda. Masukkan elemen alam dalam setiap foto. Awan, burung, ataupun cahaya matahari akan menambah warna di setiap subject foto. Kita berjalan bukan untuk ambil gambar diri sendiri semata, tapi nak gambar nature belakang awak tu. Ye dok?


10. Lokasi2 favorite: gambar2 rare cantik selalunya top view,atas bukit2/gunung2 timggi, dalam hutan simpan, tepi tasik, dekat air terjun. bersedialah kaki untuk hike tinggi2 dan basah2 sedikit. Kalau tak nak hike, blh labur sedikit duit untuk cable car untuk sampai ke puncak (jika ada)



11. Kalau nak gambar nampak extra international gitu, ambil gambar dengan tourist-entah-siapa di sebelah. Pastikan dapat kebenaran dulu okay, esp jika ambil gambar anak-anak kecil comey comey. Jangan selamba badak sangat. Orang putih sangat overprotective dengan anak mereka dan dianggap rude jika ambil gambar tanpa kebenaran parents. Silap2 balik hostel dengan penampar sebiji hinggap di muka. Sape susah?



12. kalau ada extra cash, invest on magic camera, bila tangkap terus cantik abes, seperti mirrorless/iphone& handphone latest model.



13. Photography ni banyak rules; tapi jangan terlalu rigid dengan rules tersebut, just be yourself (extra excited+poyo) and enjoy!

10 WONDERFUL LIFE LESSONS I'VE LEARNED THROUGH TRAVELING 


1.Gratitude



The amount of gratitude I experienced came on many levels. I really appreciated the opportunity to be able to travel as well as what I already had back home. I met a woman on my travels that really placed emphasis on the importance of taking the time to be thankful for things in your life daily and how you will receive more by doing so. Taking it on board straight away, I started voicing my thank you to life and looking for things to be thankful for. A deep appreciation for what I have each day, the people I meet and the challenges that come my way has opened my heart to the blessings that are existent every single day.


2. Stepping outside your comfort zone is not as hard, as you think


One of the most important life lessons that traveling can teach you is that stepping out of your comfort zone is OK. Just as in everyday life, you get far more from traveling, when you try something a little different. Go beyond just the capital cities of major western countries, which all look pretty much the same anyway, and you will find a whole new world of experiences to explore. Yes, it will be different and yes, at times, it can be scary, but step outside your comfort zone and you will find new precious experiences, you will find that it’s worth it.


3.You Learn to be More Adventurous.



Travel has a way of bringing people out of their shell.It will bring a side out of you that you might otherwise never would have known existed. This is my favorite side, the adventure side. As you start facing more fears, you become more fearless  Next life lesson that traveling can teach you is being able to take risks. There are bad people in the world, but, there are vastly more good people. If you weighed up all the risks in life, you probably wouldn’t even step outside your front door. Traveling teaches you to be more adventurous, but it also teaches you that by taking sensible precautions, you can minimize risk.


4.Live in the moment


Travel can also teach you to live in the moment by being in constant awe of your surroundings. When you are in a new place, you tend to pay attention to the smells, scenery and noises around you more than you would at home. If you do this long enough while traveling, it can become a habit so that when you get home you may find yourself viewing your surroundings in the eyes of a traveler.Also, you will find that things do not always go as planned when you are traveling. You learn to go with the flow and make the best of what is thrown at you.


5.Teaches You not to Stress Over the Small Stuff.


Travel teaches you how to handle the small things. Getting lost, your atm card getting denied, pickpocket or getting stuck in traffic when you should already be at the airport are all examples of small stresses on the road.

However, after confronting these problems a few times, I’ve learned that things seem to fix themselves. Plus, these tiny stressful moments usually become the stories I share with others. Travel teaches you not to worry about the things that aren’t worth your time and energy.


6.You Learn the Life Lesson not to be Materialistic and Selfish.



When everything you have fits in a backpack, you realize just how little you really need.Living in hostels, meeting locals less fortunate than you, and traveling with people from all over the world teaches you how to be considerate of others and share what you have.Many people are surprised by the kindness they encounter when traveling, and it only makes them eager to pay it forward.


7. It Breaks Down Your Walls


When you spend time with different cultures and see the kindness of strangers, it breaks down the stereotypes. You learn that 99 percent of the people in the world, really are good people. In fact, you realize that you actually share more things in common than what you could imagine. Most people want a better world, peace and happiness, and they are willing to reach out to help their fellow human beings.


8.Never Stop Dreaming and DREAM BIG


Once people plan and accomplish a big travel goal, they realize how easy it is to achieve their dreams when they really put their mind to it. Some people are afraid to dream; afraid that it will only lead to failure.

Other people let their dreams stay exactly that….dreams. Travel can give you the drive to turn your dreams into your reality.


9.Our day to day problems are not such a big deal: 


Sometimes we tend to live in a little box and think that our problems are monumental. But compared to what some people have to deal with on a day to day basis, many of our problems really are not that bad.


10. Travel Teaches You to Make the Most of Each Moment.


Life is short and the older I get the more I realize how short it really is. Each day is a new beginning, a fresh awakening, a beautiful opportunity for something wonderful to happen. And each day comes with a choice
How are you going to spend it? Too often, people get lost in the rut wasting away precious minutes. Traveling makes you aware that there is so much more to see, learn, and experience.

Yes, travel does change people. It will stretch your limits, open your eyes, and blow your mind. It will cause you to deal with things that most people put off all their lives and it will allow you to explore beyond your dreams. It has its cost but also its rewards and I firmly believe that it is truly beneficial to those who embrace it. No matter what stage of the game you are in, consider making travel apart of it.
