Imagine cruising in a magnificent yacht on the open sea, with the wind blowing your hair. Picturesque mountains surround you in the background, the peaks barely seen in the mass of clouds. Suddenly you catch a glimpse of dolphins bobbing up and down in the water nearby. All of these will be etched in your memory. But for how long? And how can you describe it all to those left behind?
No matter where you are going, there is only one perfect travel companion— your camera. It is very important because it gives you the privilege to brag about where you have been and to perfectly capture the things you have witnessed with your eyes. No memory can do that justice. But you can tell the jealous grandchildren about the time that you got the parents goose bumps when you were with your camera.
Hence, when you but an afternoon with your camera, and you have some free time, you should consider taking a walk somewhere. Not just to take a photograph of a pretty valley or a hill, but also to take a photo of something that you have never seen before.
Try to make up a story about the things you have seen. Make sure your camera has a way to take a picture. Try to use as much of the camera’s features as possible. Give the camera as much advance time as possible; not like you are going on a race! Race? Yes, but you just have to give it enough time to get the best shot.
My friend who does excavating near me and travels a lot with his best friend said that the camera should not be the centre of your attention when you are traveling, but should rather be put in your backpack in such a way that it is easily accessible and you can quickly access it when you need it.
walk or try and get a good look at trees and landmarks when you are sightseeing
If you are walking, you should not only walk with your eyes forward, but also look behind you. This will depend on the direction that the wind is blowing. If you are on a windy day, try to look behind you, but only if you know what is coming.
If you know that the weather is going to be hazardous for outdoor activities, Sociability and group activities may be replaced by indoor activities that are safer for health and safety. Try going to a community centre or gym instead of a church or museum.
Wait until you have taken your car to a service station and have filled your tank. Don’t be concerned if you have to fill the tank on empty as long as you have enough petrol in the car to get you from point A to point B safely.
Having a car means you have more options of what you can do. Mountaineering, rock climbing, ice climbing, canoeing, and whitewater rafting. You can enjoy visiting a spa, mountaineering school, and take a cruise. You can even go on a tour!
Without a doubt, it is fun to have the convenience of your car with you whenever you want it. But keep this in mind that the car is just a tool, and should only be used in an emergency.
