Travel Photography Tips with Mike: #3

Small details.

I’m always looking for small details when travelling and I collect lots of shots like these. They aren’t always great shots but they try to pick up on the small whimsical details rather than the big picture. What you get will depend on what appeals to your own personality. Often I find they tell more about places than the standard shots of the same tourist sights we all take.

If you have shots of details you would like to share, email them to us and we will look at putting them into the next newsletter.
