If you want to travel light but still make photos that you can sell
to magazines or place with stock agencies try the tips in this
new book.
Even if you photograph for pleasure you can use some of the
techniques in this book to generate travel content good
enough for magazines and newspapers.
• Travel Photos Whether digital or film based, you need
low ISO, good saturation and sharpness. Film speed and
digital ISO settings are best kept no higher than 100 except
in cases of unusual events with editorial value.
1. develop techniques to make travel photos that have
sharpness without using a tripod. Forbidden in many places,
the tripods extra weight makes it hardly worth lugging except
for landscapes and low-light shots. Although the tripod is an
essential tool in many situations, for the traveler the tripod
can be just more baggage to lug.
Use a beanbag instead. With this handy stabilizer placed on
walls, restaurant tables, or the top of a vehicle for camera
support, you might never lug a tripod again.. Buy the beans
locally, donate them when done.
Use a mono-pod or steady the camera against light poles,
window frames, or benches to gain a stop or two of shutter
speed and depth-of-field. Sharpness is critical as is depth of
field.
Look into the great little tripod, the Joby Gorillapod

speeds and add just a little more weight.

There are situations when a tripod comes in handy.
Southwest,lighthouse at dawn, windmills on Cape
Cod at sunset, the Grand Canyon at dusk, and
twilight street scenes, you will need to steady the
camera. Although a tripod is the preferred tool for
making sharp images, the bean bag and your
camera's timer will stand in for those tools when you
want to travel light.
The photos on this page of the cannon, the church,
and the twilight street scene were done in this
method. A curb side rubbish container steadied the
camera for the street scene, a bean bag on the
ground gave support for the cannon and church.
The camera's timer tripped the shutter giving
hands-off steadiness.

Make Better Travel Photos
To make marketable photos you must balance your
exposure. You can do that with a two-stop graduated
neutral density filter. The screw-on type has dark
material on one half that absorbs two stops of light
then transitions into clear glass. Amazing, but the sky
stays saturated while the foreground remains
properly exposed, especially in sunrise and sunset
photos. Leave it on the camera. Compensate for it
by using a matrix setting on your metering which
should compensates for the dark material's
absorption of light. Check your image exposure and
make adjustments accordingly. (see below)
3. People. People in the scene give interest and
scale. A camera-mounted flash unit set on auto
during the day will light faces under hats or in shade,
putting catch lights in the eyes, punching up the color,
and elevating your people shots to pro status. Get up
close with a wide-angle lens; (not for portraits) shoot
high, shoot low, varying your point of view.
Dusk shots at markets, plazas, and beaches produce
nightlife, dining, and recreation scenes. The
beanbag and the camera's self-timer prevent camera
shake.
You can take a reading of exposure automatically,
determine the light levels, and then go manual and
set the camera controls. Vary the shutter speed for
effect. The Graduated Neutral Density filter (GND)
will moderate hot spots like street lights or bright sky.
When using flash, you can use the GND to darken the
foreground areas which are closer to the flash and
often burn out.
4. Match Your Shutter Speed to Your Lens. When
hand holding your camera, match the shutter speed
to the focal length of the lens. Example: a 60mm lens
requires a shutter speed of 1/60 of a second or
higher to avoid camera shake. Match your 210mm
zoom with at least a 1/210-shutter speed unless you
have anti shake lenses or camera body..
5. Lens Hood. Shade the front lens element to
prevent lens flare; retain crucial color, saturation, and
contrast that you would loose if the slightest bit of
direct sunlight light or unwanted light enters the lens.

This Book Takes the Mystery Out of Selling Your digital Travel Photos
Great Tips illustrated with Great Pics, October 20, 2010
(Amazon Review)
I found this book to be engaging and full of great tips and instructions. The black and
white travel photos inside are a joy to look at. I would like to see another book of his with
just the photos, printed larger and on glossy stock.
The book is divided into two sections: How to take good travel pictures, and then, How to
sell them. ....
This is the sort of handbook that you will want to buy, read and then save to refer back to
again and again.
