This Week on The Grid: Travel Photography Tips (and More!)

This week on The Grid, Scott Kelby, Erik Kuna, and Dylan Kotecki shared a bunch of practical travel photography tips for getting better images without making your trip harder than it needs to be.

Erik talked about why getting up early may be the cheapest crowd-removal tool you’ll ever find, planning your locations around the best light, and looking for that “magic minute” when everything comes together. He also shared how using a longer lens and telephoto compression can give familiar locations a completely different look.

Scott tackled the travel side of things, with real-world tips for dealing with jet lag, luggage, transportation, currency, and planning your shooting day. The goal is simple: spend less time dealing with travel headaches and more time making pictures.

Dylan also joined the show to demonstrate several creative effects in ON1 Photo RAW MAX 2026, including motion effects, double exposures, and depth-based lighting.

There’s plenty here to help you plan smarter, find better light, and come home with something more interesting than the same postcard shot everyone else gets.
