Before taking my pictures I wanted to further research some of the locations I would be photographing so that I can take in to consideration factors such as lighting. Throughout my trip I will be in vastly different places from times ranging from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm and even later than that. I am going to be at the beach, in the mountains, as well as exploring small towns or cities.
On the first day I was going to a Casa Bacardi tour in the afternoon for example and would be by the water. These pictures would be taken at a time where there was lots of sun and I would also be on a moving cart for parts of the tour. This meant I would need to adjust my pictures to accommodate the motion as well as the brightness or glare I may face from the sun and any lack of shade.
When I later go to the city for the festival it will still be bright from the sun for the first half of my time in San Juan. This brightness may be heavily impacted by the amount of buildings and any shadows casted by such buildings. I would also have to be prepared to take pictures in crowds of people during the parade of festival and adjust to others blocking me while attempting to take pictures.
There are many factors I will have to take in to consideration when talking pictures for my magazine throughout this trip, all of which will depend on time location and even my access to equipment. For example, if I plan to take pictures on a phone I must ensure it is properly charged and the camera on my phone works adequately for the duration of the trip. These are just some reminders I will take with me while traveling around the island and documenting my time via photos.
