5 tips to make the preparations for your photographic trip

Taking a vacation trip in Spain is always a pleasure, but taking one to take pictures is the pleasure of working, and it's definitely not the same.

Therefore, to make the most of your time I leave you some tips to consider:

1. Choose the date of travel according to the type of photography you want: this is very relevant since the seasons, the weather, are very relevant factors for the photos.
Not doing so can be as catastrophic as looking for a sunny photo and that day is totally cloudy.

One of my suggestions may be to visit the most important regional festivals in Spain, here are some suggestions

2. Prepare your camera and lenses well: this is routine, a general maintenance before traveling will avoid unwanted technical problems. Make a list of all the accessories you will need in case... this way, you will be prepared to take the best pictures.

3. If you are using a cell phone for photography, you can, for example, take lens kits, bluetooth tripod, universal cell phone adapter for telescope and binoculars.
Don't forget your backup equipment, and back up all your work every night.

4. Make your hotel reservation: although it may sound trivial, it is important that it is close to the location of the sites where you want to take the photographs.
The reservation is a very important factor in the trip, do not venture into the option of "when I'm there I'll find a place". 

Being calm, focused and stress-free improves your experience and of course your perspective.

5. Leave room for improvisation: no matter how much you have planned your itinerary and the type of photos, you don't fully know what you will find. So, leave room for improvisation, which is why it is good to prepare a backpack containing safety equipment for you and your devices. And given the covid restrictions incorporate your biosafety kit.
