美照的誕生 獻給獨遊者們的8大拍照祕訣
1. Get the gear
1.帶好裝備
Working with a lightweight, high quality camera is the best investment for snap-happy orless cameras offer the same features as a digital SLR but without the extra weight and bulk.
對於愛拍照的遊客朋友們來講，入手一臺輕便高質的照相機是最好的投資。無反光鏡的照相機同樣能提供像是數碼單鏡頭的反光燈功能，還很輕巧。
2. Your phantom friend
2. 如影隨形的夥伴
Solo travel photographers become practiced at recognising a workable camera perch. Placing your camera somewhere and using timer or a remote is how you’ll take some wonderful solo shots.
獨自出遊的攝像師們能熟練辨別能派上用場的照相機支架。找一處地方放好相機，設好定時器或是用遠程控制器，你便能拍到一些不錯的單人照。
3. Ask a stranger
3. 請陌生人幫忙
It doesn't always work out, however, it's nice to try on the off chance someone nails it. Boost those chances by choosing someone with a good camera who looks like they know what they're doing, and make sure the settings on your camera are right before you have them take the pic. Don't be shy aboutrequesting a second attempt if you're unhappy with the first.
然而第二條並不總會那麼奏效，不過呢，抱着萬分之一的希望去讓其他某個人幫忙解決就再好不過啦。如果你選擇的人看上去像是知道自己在做什麼，而你的相機質量不錯，且在你讓他們幫忙拍照前都調好了設置，那麼成功的機率要大些。要是你不滿意第一次的相片，別害羞，試着請別人再幫你拍一張。
4. Show your story and hook on a feeling
4. 訴說故事，營造感情
Travel photos tell the story of what is happening in your world at that moment, so what do you want to fill the picture? If there's a palpable feeling in the air, try and capture it. Maybe it's dappled light filteringthrough trees on an autumn day, or joy from a bunch of locals having a laugh outside a café. Images that create mood or invoke feeling are often mesmerising.
旅遊時拍的照講述了那刻你的世界正在發生的故事，因此你用怎樣的故事來豐富照片呢？如果你在空氣中感受到了什麼，就用相機捕捉它。也許它是秋日樹葉投下的斑駁光景，又或是一波當地居民在咖啡館外的談笑。營造出情緒或是激起情感的照片總讓人難以忘懷。
5. Include characters
5. 囊括進人物
While you'll take lots of photos of others, it's important to include yourself in your photographic memories. After all, you're the protagonist of your story. Savvy solo travellers should think about where they'll put themselves in the frame. Play with a range of different positions to keeps things interesting instead of relying on the standard selfie pose.
當你照了許多其他人的照片後，把你自己放入拍照的記憶中也尤爲重要。畢竟，你纔是故事的主角。深諳此理的獨遊客們應該想想他們把自己安放在鏡頭的哪處。不要只是做標準的自拍動作，要擺弄各種不同的姿勢，增添點樂趣。
6. Light it up
6. 注意光線
Mother Nature supplies some of the best light around, studio or no. If you're photographing in harsh sunlight, watch for shadows and try to snap people in the shade. The periods just before sunrise and sunset, known as magic or golden hour, are times of day that make everything and everyone appear, well, magical. Tones are warmer, people look pretty in soft light.
無論有沒有工作室，大自然母親都爲攝像師提供了一些絕佳的光線。如果你在大太陽下拍照，注意哪兒有陰涼處，試着在人們位於樹蔭下時拍照。只有一天中的日出和日落（被之稱爲魔法或黃金時光）時，萬事萬物染上魔法之光。暖暖的色調與柔和的光影中，人們看上去更美了。
7. Work that angle
7. 調好角度
Changing up angles is one of the simplest ways to keep your shots interesting, because an angle is a perspective. Think of your lens as an eye. There are so many angles you can play with that will work well for your shot. You don't even need to be afraid of an upshot (but pls, no double chins).
調整角度是能讓你的照片生動起來的一大極其簡易的方法。因爲一個角度便是一個視角。把你的鏡頭看成是一雙眼。你能找到成千上萬個角度，拍出不錯的照片。你甚至不需要害怕仰視拍攝（不過請別拍出雙下巴！）。
8. Edit
8. 潤色圖片
Travel photos are usually taken outside, where you lack control of lighting. Editing can give back to your photos a little of what even the best cameras are physically unable to capture. In terms of colours, the caveat is to not oversaturate. Cameras even have dedicated apps and in-camera filters available which allow you edit on the go or later.
旅遊時通常拍的都是外景照，而你便不能控制光線。經過處理後的照片會顯露一些甚至是最好的相機都無法捕捉到的特徵。對於調色的告誡便是不要使其過度飽和。甚至連照相機都有專門的應用程序以及能讓你隨時處理照片的內置濾色鏡。
