Adventure Photography | Tips from Instagram
Do you like to travel? Do you like to go on adventures? Do you like to get out of your comfort zone? And, do you have a camera (no matter how old, dusty and battered)? If you answered yes to these questions the good news is that you're already halfway to becoming an adventure photographer (one for the CV).
If like us you have all the above credentials, maybe you've even been taking some photos and posting them to Instagram getting some decent feedback for a while, but you have that feeling that something is missing, scrolling through your feed and searching for hashtags like #adventure and #exploring but all you keep seeing is amazing photos and asking yourself - "Why are my photos not this good???" - "Why am I not getting the top posts??" Well despair no more, I have reached out to some of our favourite (and hugely talented) instagrammers and asked them what their top tip is for how to take a great adventure photo to help you get those shots you've always dreamed of.
I have only picked a select few photos from the people I've spoken to whilst putting this together; so please click through to their accounts where there are tons more amazing photos to be admired. If I could have put all of them on here I would, but you would get lost for days and have no data left for the rest of the month.

"My tip for taking adventurous pictures is to find a person at least as crazy as you are and go outdoors and have fun! I found out that my most favourite photos have been captured with very little effort, while exploring beautiful places around the world and enjoying the moments with friends."

"Pre plan the adventure but don't over plan it. Just be aware of any scenario that may soon reveal itself in present time and have your camera with you at all times. Envision the scenario before it happens and hit the shutter repeatedly. I mean I normally just ask homies to hang out and go on an adventure, bring my camera and simply take photos while life happens and think outside the box."
