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. Times Travel show Saturday and Sunday.)

Huntington Beach.
GET UP EARLY: You know that the light is beautiful around sunset. It's just as beautiful around sunrise, and most places are less crowded then. If you just creep to your hotel room balcony (or unzip your tent), your odds are good. If you stroll out on the pier at Huntington Beach (as I did here), they're better. Also, this is the hour when you can give photography your full attention without needing to negotiate with your non-photographer fellow travelers.
