SUNSET PHOTOGRAPHY SECRET The single most effective way to improve your sunset pictures is to keep the sun out of them. Except at the very last moment, just before it sinks below the horizon, the sun will be too bright compared to the rest of the picture. Cloudy skies often yield more dramatic sunsets: the light from the sun can reflect on the undersides of the clouds, casting contrastingly darker shadows. HYGIENE SECRET “If you’re ever out there traveling and you do start to find that washing your clothes is becoming difficult or that keeping up good travel hygiene is not as easy as you thought, you might want to slow down your travel pace. You really might be moving too fast if you don’t have time to wash, clean, scrub, shave and brush. Stop for a week somewhere, relax and refresh, get your stuff in order, wash that massive bag of dirty clothes and even put some moisturizer on after a shower. You’ll feel good, believe me.” (Source: www.wanderingearl.com) 18  Travel Secrets May-June 2015
