When you travel do you want to make photos that you can print
large and make digital presentations for your family and
friends.  You might even like to
sell your photos to travel
magazines or place them with a
stock agency or a portal on
the web.
Digital equipment has made publishing your photos in
magazines much simpler than it ever was.   

Even if you photograph only for pleasure, you can use some of
the techniques described in the book to generate travel
content good enough for magazines and newspapers.

There are many tips listed in the  book  
"How To Sell Your
Digital Travel Photos"  
Below are listed  a few of the techniques covered

  • . 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 content.


  •   Tripods are forbidden in many places . Its extra weight
    makes it hardly worth lugging.  You will need to steady
    the camera for landscapes and low light scenes,
    however.   If you develop ways of getting sharpness
    without a tripod, you will find that the tripod could be just
    more baggage to lug.  Tips to sharp photos without the
    tripod are listed in the book.

  •    Balance your exposures and end the toil of trying to
    rehab a unevenly exposed frame in imaging software.
The average scene contains three or more stops of light on a
sunny day, usually four,  so you must balance your exposure.  
You can do that with a two-stop graduated neutral density
filter.  see detailed explanation in the book.



  •  Match Your Shutter Speed to Your Lens.  When
    hand holding your camera, unless you have an image
    stabilization lens or camera body, 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. (non IS lenses)


  • 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 or
    reflected unintended light enters the lens.  
Tripods are not
allowed in most
ruin sites; the
bean bag can
help to steady
the camera

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.
