To get the most out of any photo holiday , you'll need to be prepared
Homework really is the key to successful travel photography, so make sure you're inn the know before you go! The more information and insight about a place you arm yourself with before you arrive at your destination, the better equipped you will be to make the most of it photographically.
Wherever you go, it makes sense to do some research in advance.
Where to start
First,hit the internet. Tourist board websites are usually a good source of tips and advice, while popular stock photo libraries such as www.alamy.com
can give you an idea of the kind of pictures you could come back with . Typing your destination into the library's search engines is likely to produce hundreds of photography for you to check out.
For more specific tips and advice from other photographer, visit the forum sections of photographic websites-try the online home of Digital Camera, www.photoradar.com , as a start. Post specific photography-related question on the types of lenses you'll need, the best time to shoot or the best viewpoints in a certain destination and you're likely to receive some very valuable responses.
One of the first things you should check in a guidebook is the section headed 'Whne to Go', as this can have a huge influence on the photoraphic potential of a place.Is the wet season you should avoid? How about winds or hurricanes? Will it be busy with tourist and therefore more expensive?
