3 3 of 18 3/16/2019, 9:27 AM 1 This Class Most articles and books about travel photography discuss the camera tools and composition skills. These are the same camera tools and composition skills used every where in photography not just in travel photography. Travel photography articles and books often only briefly cover these two topics: Openness to Unique Experiences Projects/Themes We won't ignore camera tools and composition. But we'll delve into the above two topics. 2 Openness to Unique Experiences Rediscovering Travel is by Seth Kugel, the former "Frugal Traveler" columnist of the New York Times. He espouses meeting local people who may bring an experience of their culture to you. This works better when you: Don't mind being lost or going off with strangers. Have an expense account. Have lots of time. Are a single male (women have more to fear?). Are in your twenties, with few concerns at home. However, we can apply some of the author's ideas to our travels. Kugel notes how we used to travel only with a guidebook and map. Now we have a sea of information about our travel destinations on our phones. The author continues: But don't we travel to break our routine? To experience the unexpected? To let the world delight us? Meeting Local People Fixers Travel photographers often hire a fixer a local person. He or she knows the lay of the land at your destination. Your fixer is a guide, translator, and assistant. eatwith Meal Sharing Meetup nearify Events Showaround Tourlina Women only What to Eat in Withlocals Apps Translation Apps 6 of the Best Translation Apps For Travelers (2018): Google Translate itranslate Basic and Pro

4 4 of 18 3/16/2019, 9:27 AM itranslate Voice Papago Asian languages TripLingo Waygo Google Search for meet local people travel. Add your destination to the above search string. Camera Club If you're a member of a camera club, the club or a member may recommend a camera club at your destination. Giving Back You can give the person you photographed a business card with your name and an address back to you. Perhaps use an address that is not your primary one. Use ManyMe, or a similar service, for a substitute address. Have a line on the business card on which to write the photograph number. Give the card to your subject, and say, "Send me an and I'll send you photographs." Perhaps have a larger card printed with instructions in various languages. 3 Projects/Themes Having a project or a theme to one's photography, is common in other photography genres. It's less common in non-professional travel photography. Having a project or theme narrows your vision. You'll get better photographs. Let's say you're in Rome. If your project is doorways, you'll come home with photographs worthy of hanging on a wall. Two Cameras Pretend you have two cameras. Photograph like a tourist with camera #1. Do your project or theme with camera #2.

5 5 of 18 3/16/2019, 9:27 AM Camera #1 You'll want photographs of the Colosseum, yes. Jebulon Camera #2 Find photographs for your doorways project, too. Dietmar Rabich

6 6 of 18 3/16/2019, 9:27 AM 4 Openness & Project Example Let's say you're at the Taj Mahal and your project is food. You photograph the Taj Mahal. pnglife You then visit the nearby YES Restaurant at 2/78, Western Gate - Taj Mahal, Tajganj, Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. Pedro Moreno kurnia nugraha rudianto wrote in a Google review: Great location, just walking distance from Taj Mahal. Great food, you can order food as you wish whether full spices or less, and they'll served you freshly. Very great and friendly

7 7 of 18 3/16/2019, 9:27 AM owner as well. You meet the owner, and ask to meet the chef. You end up photographing the owner, chef, and kitchen. 5 Research For better travel photography know your subject. Marge Let's say Marge is a naïve photographer with a simple camera. She's going to the Maldives. Marge finds some good websites about what to see and learns about the Maldivian culture. She comes home with some unique photographs. Marge is now married to the man who helped her change a flat tire. He liked how she knew a few words of Dhivehi and invited Marge to a community gathering. George Let's say George with three cameras around his neck visited Saint Petersburg in Russia. He researched what to photograph but didn't learn anything about Russian culture. George thought the Russians were unfriendly because they didn't smile. The Russians thought George was an idiot because he smiled when there wasn't anything funny to smile about. At home, George showed a slideshow of his photographs of monuments and buildings. His friends had a hard time staying awake. 6 Don't Research Following the Equator by Mark Twain Mark Twain, in Following the Equator, offers a contrary view of research. I mean to speak of only one of these many world-renowned buildings, the Taj Mahal, the most celebrated construction in the earth. I had

8 8 of 18 3/16/2019, 9:27 AM read a great deal too much about it. I saw it in the daytime, I saw it in the moonlight, I saw it near at hand, I saw it from a distance; and I knew all the time, that of its kind it was the wonder of the world, with no competitor now and no possible future competitor; and yet, it was not my Taj. My Taj had been built by excitable literary people; it was solidly lodged in my head, and I could not blast it out. In Agra and its neighborhood, and afterwards at Delhi, we saw forts, mosques, and tombs, which were built in the great days of the Mohammedan emperors, and which are marvels of cost, magnitude, and richness of materials and ornamentation, creations of surpassing grandeur, wonders which do indeed make the like things in the rest of the world seem tame and inconsequential by comparison. I am not purposing to describe them. By good fortune I had not read too much about them, and therefore was able to get a natural and rational focus upon them, with the result that they thrilled, blessed, and exalted me. But if I had previously overheated my imagination by drinking too much pestilential literary hot Scotch, I should have suffered disappointment and sorrow. 7 Preaching to the Choir Please forgive this writer for preaching to you about behaviors you'll never do. None of my readers would act like the man below. But please do search for cultural subtleties when photographing. 8 Ugly American Ugly American By Constantino Arias (1948) As defined by Wikipedia: "Ugly American" is a pejorative term used to refer to perceptions of loud, arrogant, demeaning, thoughtless, ignorant, and ethnocentric behavior of American citizens mainly abroad, but also at home. Martin Parr Martin Parr, in Small Worlds, photographed tourists at their worst.

9 9 of 18 3/16/2019, 9:27 AM Funny Example But Useful Non-USA Redditors, besides accents, what is a dead giveaway that a tourist is American? Cultural Subtleties Teju Cole, in A Too-Perfect Picture, compares the work of two photographers in India: Steve McCurry (of Afghan girl fame) Succession Raghubir Singh Cole summarizes his discussion: Art is always difficult, but it is especially difficult when it comes to telling other people's stories. And it is ferociously difficult when those others are tangled up in your history and you are tangled up in theirs. What honors those we look at, those whose stories we try to tell, is work that acknowledges their complex sense of their own reality. Good photography, regardless of its style, is always emotionally generous in this way. For this reason, it outlives the moment that occasions it. Weaker photography delivers a quick message sweetness, pathos, humor but fails to do more. But more is what we are. Permission It's often best to ask permission before photographing someone. Show your photographs to the subject. As described above, give him or her a business card so they can contact you about the photographs. Learn how to say thank you in the local language. Children Always ask permission from their parents, guardians, teachers, or other caregivers. Locations Religious, military, police, government, infrastructure (bridges, power plants, etc.), airport, and customs locations should not be photographed unless you've asked permission or have done your research. For example, search: Research your destination + travel + etiquette your destination + travel + do's and don'ts You'll learn about: Personal space distance Queuing Being on time or not being on time Casual conversation for a length of time before discussing business Capacity for small talk Appropriate clothing at certain locations Add the word photography to the above search strings, to learn about photographic etiquette, do's and don'ts, and legalities. United States Bert Krages, a lawyer in California, has written a onepage summary of your rights in the United States. The Photographer's Right - Bert P. Krages - Attorney at Law

10 10 of 18 3/16/2019, 9:27 AM Look for similar articles about your destination. The tutorial below was written for photographers in the United States. Again, look for similar articles about your destination. How to Photograph Strangers 9 "But more is what we are." Go ahead take the standard photograph. It's fun. Do more. Javichu el jefe~commonswiki Below Georges Jansoone used vantage point and foreground. He moved back (vantage point) and put the statue in the frame (foreground). Language: Georges Jansoone 10 Ways to Do More Learn some phrases in the local language, such as, "May I take your picture?"

11 11 of 18 3/16/2019, 9:27 AM Use one of translation apps described above. Mini relationships before pressing the shutter release: Interact with the person who you want to photograph, first. For example, ask a question, compliment them, or buy something from them. People in the scene: People in your photographs can add visual interest. They can give the viewer a sense of the scale of a location. If their faces are prominent: Your photograph may become a unintended portrait. The viewer will be less likely to feel like he or she is standing in your photograph looking at the scene. As mentioned: Be open to unique experiences Have a project/theme Change your: Vantage point Background Use: Foreground Close-ups Better light: Early Late Night Backlighting Fill flash Sunrise/sunset/light apps: Photographer's Ephemeris TPE helps you plan outdoor photography in natural light. See how the light will fall on the land, day or night, for any location on earth. Note: The Android version has fewer features. PhotoPills PhotoPills is your personal assistant in all photographic matters. It provides tasty remedies to help you answer most of the questions when planning and shooting your creative ideas. PlanIt Everything you need for your landscape photography planning, from golden hour, to blue hour, to milky way, to star-trails, to timelapse, to eclipses, to seascape, and more. Everything, I mean everything. Shot list Travel photographers make a list of the photographs they need to get before their travels. We don't need to be that specific, but should make a list of locations. List alternate locations, such as places you can photograph when the weather is poor. Use HDR HDR is high dynamic range photography. It's used when the scene has bright and dark areas.

12 12 of 18 3/16/2019, 9:27 AM We're not National Geographic photographers who can always be at a location when the light is good. We have to deal with contrasty light. A scene with contrasty light is photographed several times at different exposure settings. The best parts of this series of photographs are merged into a single, less contrasty, photograph. Below, Nickomargolies photographed a fountain in Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C. He used HDR. The bright sky looks great as well as the fountain in shadow. Nickomargolies Without HDR, Nickomargolies would have had to choose one of the options below. Option #1: Sky = Good; Fountain = Not Good (Simulated) Option #2: Sky = Not Good; Fountain = Good (Simulated) Your phone probably does HDR automatically. Your camera may or may not.

13 13 of 18 3/16/2019, 9:27 AM Check the manual. Weather: Bad Overcast is often better than sunny, as there's less contrasts More: Travel is novelty seek extra novelty. Do what the locals are doing get off of the beaten tourist path. If you search your destination + "get off beaten path" you may find better experiences and photographs. For example: Don't Miss Travelling Off The Beaten Path In Italy Do the opposite/something-different of what other photographers are doing. Photograph something that's happening in front of the photographed-a-million-times subject such as a story. 11 Story Your trip is a story, of course. But a series of photographs of monuments and buildings isn't a story. You can look for smaller stories during your travels. For example, Elliott Erwitt photographed a couple having trouble collapsing a beach umbrella. He followed them all the way home. Photograph: Trouville, France (1965) by Elliott Erwitt A plot, theme, conflict, experience, what's happening at an event, or?. As if you're the future viewer. Signs and maps.

14 14 of 18 3/16/2019, 9:27 AM An establishing shot to set the stage for the viewer. A scene with action or emotion (atmosphere, mood or feeling) for the first photograph in a sequence. The characters in the story. Close-ups. A summary, conclusion, or punchline photograph. r/photoessay W. Eugene Smith: Master of the Photo Essay 12 Presentation Have a destination for your photographs. Photograph with the presentation in mind, such as five photographs on the wall, a book, or a slideshow. Let's say you're going to put your photographs in a book. With a future book in mind you'll be a better photographer. For example: You'll be looking for a map or something else for the endpapers. You'll need an establishing photograph for each section in the book. 13 Significant Other & Groups If you have a traveling companion, or are part of a group, ditch them for better photography. What? Be nice about it, of course. Maybe you have to get up early. Maybe you can plan a time when you each explore separate interests. On the other hand, street photographer Eric Kim, in How to Travel as a Photographer With Family recommends: So my simple advice is this: if you plan on traveling with your family, don't focus on photographing sights, people on the streets, or your experiences. Rather, photograph your loved ones. There is no other opportunity you can spend so much time with your loved ones. When you're traveling with family, you're more or less spending each awake moment with theme from breakfast to when you fall asleep. When you're back at home, everyone is distracted with work, school, or playing on their phones.

Spouses and photography 14 Back at the Room Backup Back up your photographs at the end of each day. Do it to two locations: 1) Local Use an external hard drive, phone, tablet, or laptop for the local backup. 2) Cloud service Your camera may be able to transfer photographs via

15 15 of 18 3/16/2019, 9:27 AM Wi-Fi. Captions/Notes Also, if you're using a tablet or laptop, add captions and notes to some of the photographs. 15 Before You Go Paper Map An old-fashioned paper map is handy for understanding the overall layout of your destination. For example if you're in Amsterdam it may be hard on your phone to see Haarlem and Zandvoort beach in relation to where you are. Checklist Make a checklist of items to bring. List of equipment and serial numbers If there's a chance U.S. customs, upon your return, will think you bought your equipment abroad, use Form Certificate of Registration for Personal Effects Taken Abroad. PDF of your camera manual on your tablet or laptop Chargers Power adaptor for international travel Power strip for plugging in multiple devices Power bank Memory cards Memory card case with contact information Flash Flash extension cord Batteries Blower, such as the Giottos Rocket Blaster Lens cleaning cloth Zip lock bags Camera bag that: Doesn't "shout" expensive camera inside Easily accessible for you, but not for others, such as a messenger-bag style with a big flap Or, use a non-camera bag with a camera insert inside. Use locks or cable ties to secure zippers that may be opened by thieves. Rain cover for your camera Camera! Check Your Sensor If you can switch lenses, there's a chance that dust can land on your camera's sensor. Dust spots look like light gray dots in the same position on every photograph. To check if there's dust on the sensor, photograph the sky or a plain white wall. Use these settings: Set your lens to manual focus and defocus the lens. Use the A or Av exposure mode, and set the aperture to f/22. Then: Enlarge the photograph on your monitor. Scroll back-and-forth and up-and-down looking for defects on the photograph.

16 16 of 18 3/16/2019, 9:27 AM You can increase the contrast with Photoshop Elements, or other software, to make the dust easier to see. Sensor loupes are another way to check for dust. Sensor Cleaning To clean the sensor, follow the directions of your camera manufacturer. Use a blower, such as the Giottos Rocket Blaster. Do not use a blower with a brush, as the bristles may damage the sensor. Do not use compressed air, as the propellant may damage the sensor. Make sure the battery is fully charged. After cleaning, check if the spots are gone. Clean a second and third time, if needed. If the spots persist, you'll have to: Use a sensor cleaning kit. You could damage the sensor. Send your camera in for cleaning. You won't have your camera for a week or two. Tripods La Joconde Salle des Etats, Le Louvre, 2008 by Matthew Pillsbury Slow shutter speeds are great for blurring water, night street scenes, and mobs of tourists. Support your camera by using: A flexible tripod, such as Gorillapods A monopod, which is also good for overhead photographs A walking stick or poles with camera attachment Tripods and selfie sticks may be banned at certain locations. Flash Manners If you're using your camera on Auto or a scene mode (SCN), the flash may pop up automatically. Use of flash may be poor manners or forbidden at certain locations. Check your camera manual for how to disable your flash. Often, there's a button with a lightning-bolt icon. Press and hold, and select the lightning-bolt icon with a diagonal slash.

17 17 of 18 3/16/2019, 9:27 AM 16 Safety Search for common travel scams at your destination: common travel scams + your destination For example, a local person, dressed to appear to be a fellow tourist: May offer to take your photograph with your camera. If you hand your camera over, he or she may run away with it. May ask you to take his or her photograph with their camera. If you do so, he or she may claim you broke their camera. They'll ask for money for the repair. U.S. Department of State - Travel Advisories Equipment Use a camera strap that doesn't have the camera brand. Likewise, as described above, use a plain bag with a camera insert. pacsafe Insurance Travel Insurance Medicare doesn't provide coverage overseas.
