This snapshot tells you one thing. We had a clear sky and bright sunny day on 3rd day of our London travel! :) I captured this street view in Camden Town of London which is famous for its open-air Camden markets selling antique goods, clothing, rockers’ fashion, souvenirs and many other stuffs. Many local people (Hippies and rockers) as well as tourists come here to shop, dine and drink in Summer.

Imagine this: Can any camera capture anything in a dark without flash light?

Lighting is the single most important element in photography. No matter how expensive and advanced is your camera, poor lighting delivers dull colours, if not poor. Otherwise, if the scene or object is under good lighting, either natural sun light or deliberately arranged artificial lighting, any camera can capture it with good colours, if not great.

The above photo says it all. It’s just a snapshot with my Nikon D60 and Tamron SP10-24mm, when I spotted this beautifully lit row of shops in Camden Town. Without special setting and equipment, I was able to capture an impressive picture with striking colours!

Remember only this photo tips before taking photos: Is your subject under good and enough lighting? If not, try figuring out on how to provide more good lights onto it! With flash, reflector, or table lamp… :)Travel Feeder, your ultimate travel photo blog
