Photographing Exotic Locales - Part One


It's A Big World - See Some Of It


Someone once said that if you want to take a better picture, point your camera at something amazing.

It's wonderful to explore photo opportunities close to home, but there's no substitute for travel.

It's a big world.  There's no shortage of fascinating places to visit, intriguing sights to see, exciting adventures to cherish, and amazing things to photograph.


So pack your bags and charge your batteries, because it's time to go on a little trip.


When something catches your eye, photograph it in the best possible light.

Keep in mind that the best light is sometimes bright and sunny.

Some subjects will be obvious.
