Photo Friday!
After a long hiatus, our Photo Friday feature is back! Today we feature some amazing travel photography from AirTreks World Journey member Timido (aka The Shy Photographer).
Timido has traveled extensively around the world from central Asia, to South America, to Antarctica. His shots reveal his unending romance with travel, architecture and the natural world.
Enjoy!
This week’s selections highlight British outdoorsman James Myatt, aka nzbuu, and his shots while trekking in the Lake District of Northern England.
Enjoy!
Shooting photographs will make you smarter. Just ask brainiac Ansel Adams, that guy was a genius. Still, people who take their camera on the road are usually on the hunt for that one “epic shot”, the amazing image that lingers in their consciousness and forever sums up their experience with just one look. Take a look at the rise of Flickr and you’ll see just how popular this perennial hobby has become.
I won’t be going into technique here what with the thousands of places online to learn how to take great pictures. But since all great pictures start with great equipment, I’ve compiled a few of my favorite cameras for you to become obsessed with on your own journey around the world. Without getting too technical (no one reads the specs anyway, do they?), here is my hugely opinionated short-list of great cameras for the traveling amateur.
If you’re not sure what style of camera to purchase, start by asking yourself how much you want to work at getting a great shot. Here are three different varieties of camera in ascending order of simplicity: the point and shoot, the mid-range all-around, and the D-SLR.
Last week we brought you photos from the lush and tropical South Pacific taken by AirTreks’ dynamic exploring duo Daniel and Sara, perhaps to get you ready for the upcoming winter.
In that same spirit, and for the Southern Hemisphere’s approaching winter, this week’s selections highlight the Patagonia region of southern Chile and Argentina, again from Daniel and Sara.
Enjoy!
For those of us residing in the Northern Hemisphere, we’re rapidly approaching that chilliest of seasons. What better moment to relax on a Friday take the mind back to the warm and tropical.
This week’s photo selections focus on the South Pacific and are from our permanent pair of well-traveled staff sales consultants, Daniel and Sarah Gamber.
Their 2002 trip included a list of islands in the South Pacific. Here are some of the best shots. Keep an eye out next week for more photos from of their world travels.
Enjoy!
