It just seems to be like drinking out of a fire hose when we travel. We get 5-8 hours to 'see' a port or nearby city, usually with minimal ability to plan as guide books do not spend much time on port cities. We now avoid tour buses, taking small private tours, tuktuks, taxis whatever instead which helps a lot. Esp when you can find others who actually want to take photos instead of snaps with photo frames (iPads) through dirty bus windows at 60kmh.
I probably do a lot more thinking about my photos as I take them than I realize. Thankfully my wife now has a K100D instead of a P&S and she has a great eye for photo ops. I only threw out about 10% of our shots this trip, which still leaves 10000 to sort out! gerrit -----Original Message----- From: PDML [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Roberts Sent: Friday, July 26, 2013 8:04 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Another shot from Italy: Wildflowers Gerrit Visser wrote: >Very lovely photo.

Knowing your gear and having a range of settings ready to use is very helpful. Also, having plenty of ideas in mind, both for photos and for problem-solving strategies, is essential for travel photography. You only get a moment for a shot. >http://www.robertstech.com/temp/dolomite3.jpg -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
