Whether you are a travel happy snapper with a smartphone or a serious travel photographer, these tips should help you make the most of your time and get the best possible images of Old City Jerusalem.
If you Google the best settings for your model of camera, you will usually find some very helpful resources on the set and forget settings for various styles of photography.
This will help you get your bearings within the relatively small but complex walled city, load you up with information, and help you assess lighting conditions and, equally as important, crowd conditions.
While dynamic range can offer great effects, it may not always be the look you are after. Funnily enough, this can be a bigger challenge with a good DSLR such as our Nikon D850 than with a smartphone.
If you find a subject within a highly contrasted scene, switching to "center-weighted" metering
(Some camera’s call this “portrait” metering) usually works pretty well.
For smartphone users, dynamic range shouldn’t be so much of a concern. Just tap the screen in the area of the subject you want to expose, and most phones will do the rest for you.
