Rant ON: I hate How to take Travel Photos books :) [View All]

[wakeme2008]

I am planning a cruise to New Zealand in late 2007, so I brought a couple National Geograpic books on Travel and Landscapes. :grr: While there are some good info in there, the major thing they talk about is taking photos at the right time of day. Grrr.. when traveling and on tours you have very little control on the time of day you are at any point.

I wish they would do more on working with the light you have no matter what time of day that is.

RANT OFF :)

Sidenote: While I did carry a tripod on a cruise down the Amazon and to Ft. Lauderdale, I traded that in for a monopod/walking stick in my travel gear after I hit Devil's Island. My Nikon D2H and lens is around $5,000 and the movies lied about Devil's Island being flat. :rofl: Very hilly and to get to the top of the island you had to go up water covered stone steps with no hand rail. I only went up so far before I wished I had a walking stick and stopped because of my thoughts of a broken D2H......
