Making Better Travel Photos
If you want to make marketable photos
you must be able to manage a few
details.
 The book pictured above,
How to Sell
Your Digital Travel Photos,
 describes
the features in a digital camera that will
make the job of creating Marketable and
publishable photos easier.   
Ideal Camera
The ideal digital camera would allow you
the option of working in manual mode. In
fact manual mode will be indispensable if
you are to create a wide variety of
marketable photos.
Manual Control
A camera that allows you to control the
aperture, the shutter speed, and the focus
in manual control mode is the most
versatile camera to use when working in
the rapidly changing situations that you will
encounter while making travel photos for
publication.   
  • Ideal Camera
  • Manual Mode
  • Single Lens Reflex
  • Flash Cord Port
Manual Control
You will run into many situations, especially
when using fill flash, where you need to
override the automatic camera functions and
work in manual mode.  This is particularly true
when you combine ambient light and flash
photography; you need to have control of your
shutter speed and the aperture.
You will also run into the problem of lenses
that focus automatically in well-lit areas but
have trouble focusing in
darker situations.  
Also when you cover events, people will be
walking in front of you and the focus and
exposure
settings of your camera will hunt
all about unless you are in manual mode.
These problem will require you to use manual
focus and exposure.
Flash Cord  Port
Another good feature to have on a camera
is a  port that allows you to plug in a cord for
the running of remote flash when you want
lighting more interesting than that provided
by the built-in, on-camera flash unit.  
Battery Life
Battery life will be another issue.  You will
want to get a day or more of making
photographs from one battery and have a
backup ready to go.

Preview Window
A well-sized preview window will help you in
proofing your images while on the move.  
This  Book covers all you need to know to get your
photos published.
This book will take the mystery out of making
publishable photos and finding the editors who
will Buy the Rights to Publish Your Photos

  • Part One: How to Make Marketable Photos

  • Part Two: How to Find and Approach the Photo Editors
Single Lens Reflex Camera
A good option would be a single lens reflex camera. (SLR) It will provide the
features mentioned and will also allow you to attach lens filters and a lens hood to
the front of your lenses, important additions that have been listed on previous
pages..  
The SLR will also have a through-the-lens viewing system, giving you much
more control of your composition when image making.

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.
It found a permanent home on my bookshelf, September 3, 2010

This book covers all aspects of selling photographs. Drawing from his own
experience as a travel writer and photographer, the author has created a
real resource for anyone who wants to have their images published. He
gives sound advice as to how to be productive creatively and walks you
through the necessary steps to getting your images to market. I highly
recommend this book to anyone who is serious about selling their
photographs.
Must Have, September 27, 2010

I highly recommend this book. Easy to read and understand. Even
if you are not trying to sell your photographs this book is a must
have. This book covers all the fundamental information that you
have to know on aperture settings, filters, composition, etc. which
will get you the photographs you will be proud of and want to sell.
