Nine tips for better travel photos and videos
In the old days of photography, the underlying rule was "F8 and be there." In these days of digital auto-everything, it's basically "charge battery and be there." But if you want to aim higher, here are nine things I've learned as reporter who takes a lot of pictures and sees a lot of pro photographers at work. (I'll be sharing more at the L.A.

SET UP AND WAIT: If you find a place where something cool is likely to happen-- maybe a pier that kids like to jump from, maybe a part of the SeaWorld dolphin pool where trainers like to stage tricks -- give it a little time and wait for a decisive moment. Sometimes this means 5 minutes, sometimes half an hour. The more you practice anticipation, the better you get at it.
