Want to know how I get those awesome GoPro travel photos and Instagram shots where all you see is the back of my head and an epic landscape? I use a GoPro Hero 4 Black (or Hero 3 Silver and pair it with my phone using the built in Wifi, so I can see a preview of the shot before I take it!

Of course, I’ve also developed an eye for what makes a great shot, like making use of angles, lighting, and composition, but let’s get you mastered with the actual photo taking technique first! Once you get that down we can move on to fun things like editing with Snapseed or Light Room!

If you’re not sure what types of photos I’m talking about and just found this article about GoPro tips randomly, please have a look at my Instagram page, @mylifesatravelmovie, or feel free to peruse around my blog (please?).
