 6. Get Familiar With The Camera Design

 5. Capture Small Details If Possible

 Local foliage and cultural relics will be memorable. Try to capture details with the camera you have in tow. Frame each photo to focus on details of the object. Take time to get a few different angles as well. Modern cameras have the capacity to capture hundreds of photographs. Use that to your advantage while photographing objects. These details could make for an impressive catalog of local relics.
