You’ve traveled a long way for this journey, and photography helps keep these memories alive for years to come. Here are a few tips: 

• Take your time to capture an image. Think like a photographer and slow down to compose your shot
• From Iguazú Falls to the vibrant cities of Santiago, Montevideo, Buenos Aires, and Rio de Janeiro, and, you’ll encounter some larger-than-life scenes and landmarks on this trip. This might create pressure to fit everything into one shot. Instead, try focusing on a distinctive feature rather than trying to incorporate everything into one frame
• Use your surroundings. Instead of edging out other tourists from your photos, utilize them to enhance the scene. Try tilting the camera at your target, including tourists and the real scene in the background or forefront, and the image is instantly more intriguing than a generic snapshot
• Pursue quirky composition — shooting off-center makes for a more artsy, unique shot
