it’s cool to see a photographer traveling with kids and still doing your hobby. sometimes I worry that having kids would be the end of doing some things I consider fun

@BelindaShi Ай бұрын

Incorporate kids to be involved in your passion/hobby early so they get used to it. Our kids have traveled to 30+ countries over 5 continents so far and it's the best learning experience for all of us.

@billgreen1140 Ай бұрын

My wife and I have traveled extensively over the past 15 years since we retired. I used to try too hard to eliminate any people when I was trying to photograph subjects in crowded places. As the Beatles advised, I’ve learned to Let it Be. Now I photograph a scene as I see it, trying of course, to be creative with it. Having a goal of including no crowds or people is frustrating and almost impossible these days. Work with what you have and be creative with it. Thanks for the informative video.

Hallo Belinda! Thank you for sharing, your photos are VERY good, and the models seems to be really professionals. One major part of your lecture is actually to think and plan ahead of pressing the famous click-button. What struck me, watching the very good clip, is. How to make some semi-good vacation pics (shot in the moment and without considerations)to really good photographic memories? I mean - How do we treat them in post to "re-engineer" the really good photograps..?

@BelindaShi Ай бұрын

Glad you like my photos. They were all shot in the moment and my boys are not models. As I said 6:55 The more you practice, the more these photo tips will become second nature to you. Your second half of the question is about whether you can use post processing to create a good photo. My take is: post processing is used to enhance a good photo not to fix a bad photo. Hope this helps

@MuhammadIkhwan95 Ай бұрын

Great tips & photo$. If you have to choose 1 lens to bring for travel during vacation, would you bring along with your camera zoom lens with lower aperture (f4-5.6) or fix lens with bigger aperture such as f1.4 or f2.0?

@BelindaShi Ай бұрын

Great question. Definitely zoom. My top grabbed lens is 24-70mm f2.8, will be happy to share date in my future video.

@BelindaShi Ай бұрын

Sure. I shoot RAW only and all my photos are edited. With a few seconds or up to a minute for most photos. As a traveler, I maximize my time traveling and spending time with family. Getting the photos right in the camera is far important than relying on retouching.
