Struggling to figure out the right camera settings for your trip to Europe? Use this guide to ensure you get the best travel pictures using your digital camera! My Europe travel picture diary shares the exact camera settings, lighting adjustments, and techniques I used while capturing memories across Europe.
Learn how I captured iconic locations like the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, the Blue Domes of Santorini, breathtaking European sunsets, the pastel coastlines of the Amalfi Coast plus more, all using my Canon PowerShot G7X Mark II but the same photo tips and camera concepts apply to the Mark III too.
This diary shows how lighting, colour tones, and scenery affect your photos through real travel examples, helping you adjust your settings with confidence wherever you travel.
If you’ve ever felt unsure which settings to use, this guide simplifies taking travel photos so you can spend less time stressing over your camera and more time capturing breathtaking views and moments exactly as you see them.
Inside, you’ll find beginner-friendly explanations and real examples showing how and why I used specific settings while travelling Europe. This edition includes 40 pages of detailed travel picture examples, settings breakdowns, and lighting tips, written like a look inside my travel picture diary, not a manual.
This Diary Includes:
A full Europe camera settings cheat sheet organized by location and lighting
The exact travel settings I used across Rome, the Amalfi Coast, and Greece explained
Picture settings for iconic European photo locations
Real-life examples explaining how and why I adjusted settings
How lighting changes throughout the day
How to capture sunsets, scenic views, and aesthetic travel moments
How to adjust colour tones and white balance
What is the custom colour grid and how to tweak it (ex. A6.G1)
How to make sure your background shows clearly in photos
Landscape, scenic, and detail (food, art etc.) picture settings and techniques

Additional tips and tricks throughout the diary
Note: My first guide "My Diary of Camera Secrets" throughly explains what the camera basics are (iso, shutter speed, f-stop, white balance, and modes and has day-to day picture settings) which goes hand and hand with the Europe edition if you're new with the camera knowledge!
