Writing One Can be Easy
It's no secret. Any editor who has worked with me knows.
I hate writing !
With ten photos of a cave, recently visited, I'll show you how I getterdun.
Think Like a Tour Guide
You want to give people an idea what they are getting themselves into with your photos.
Take Shots of Any Signs at the Attraction
This will come in handy when it's time to caption your images.
Get Many Photos of the Surrounding Terrain
Show the viewers whether or, not, the place is stroller/wheelchair friendly.
Take Photos of Everything Along the Way
There's nothing wrong with having a few hundred images to choose from.
A photo essay, usually only requires ten or twelve, captioned images.
You never know. Maybe, you'll end up doing ten photo essays about the same location.
Wide Angle Shots Work Well
It gives a traveler a sense of the place they will encounter.
Close-up Images Are Also Good
We have to duck our heads a bit, taking the stone stairs down that hole.
The Exit is Just as Important as the Entrance
Think of showing a 360 degree view of the attraction with your camera.
Trails and Walkways in the Area
This is the view cave dwellers had, just outside their back door.
Geographical Location
Take some photos to help you describe where in the world the site is located.
The trail, leading out the back door, takes you right to the East China Sea.
Show What's Inside
Some photos of the interior are just as important as exterior shots of the attraction.
Don't forget to take plenty of them, too.
I didn't think it would be necessary to show you, at this time. It was just a regular cave.
However, I did spot some sort of unusual art in there !
