Kristian Bertel learned that giving money to child beggars is the least generous thing a tourist can do. Because when we give money directly to child beggars, we actually hurt more than we help. But the imperative to not give money or gifts does not mean we have to turn our backs on them.

more of a vlogging style. do you do everything handheld? use gimbal? use a tripod? how were you able to make the video stand out when all the footages out there are using big dslr and other gear equipments of higher quality.

when shooting yourself highlighting the background like standing in front of mountain, lakes, fjord. also when shooting popular touristy attractions and want to capture yourself

Hi I am planning a trip to New Orleans with my family in April of this year. I'll be taking my Olympus and probably one film camera. Wondering if anyone has any tips for the city in terms of good places to shoot; i know there are probably hundreds but wanted to see if you guys are familiar...

Once again trying to max out the capabilities of my Samsung S8+ in Okinawa. This time on route to Kouri Island, with afew pit stops along the way: View: original size View: original size View: original size View: original size View: original size View: original size Also...

I made this exposure on my second visit to this location. Having been familiar from my first visit I decided to immerse myself in the rock pools below the waterfall to create this image with a perspective of looking up and towards the start of the waterfall. After multiple bites from the...

I am going on an upcoming trip in the desert where I plan to photograph a community. On their visitor page they insist camera film has a strong odor that might attract bears on their property - see below. Before I pursue further, I am curious: has anyone here heard of this before? Aside from...

Hi there, Whenever I’ve been hiking or travelling I’m normally disappointed by my photos when I get home (I use an iPhone 7). I often find it quite difficult to frame landscapes nicely without walking a load to get the shot right, because I can’t zoom without losing the image quality. I’m a...

Hi guys, So, I've spent the last months look into the photography world and trying to decide what to buy as my first "grown-up" camera. I've been shooting and developing my skills with a "capable" Sony compact for the last six years, and I feel like I reached a point in which I really want to...

Giving my eyes a rest for the sunrise edits! Last weekend was a trip to Lovech to meet up and complete a lens trade. There's not an awful lot in the city to shoot, a small fortress that is mostly gone and the panoramic views from it are nothing special, however, they do have the covered...

Hi all! Just want to drop this question to the forum and see if I am the only one experiencing this, and how others have dealt with it. A very short foreword: I got my first film reflex when I was 8, have started shooting in digital when I was 14 or so with a compact advanced camera, got my...

Hi All I would like some advice from professional or enthusiast photographers who do travel photography. I am from South Africa and I am going to Europe in April 2019. I am doing a Contiki tour (So I will be in different European Countries majority of the time then I'm going to Turkey) and...

I've been traveling for almost a year now so what's better to start posting than showing my favorite destination! Boy washing his buffalos in the Ganges. Varanasi, India.

A few shots taken whilst we were travelling last weekend. The massacre in Batak was a brutal part of the April Uprising in Bulgaria in 1876. Following reaching a "Peace agreement" for the Turkish and Bashi-Bozouk to leave the town in peace on the condition that the town disarmed and following...

Hi, I am a beginner and I have a canon EOS 700d. I already own an 18-55mm, 55-250mm kit lens and the 50 mm 'nifty-fifty'. I need suggestions to upgrade my lens kit. My requirements are - a good lens for travel photography with low light photography as a plus(I find the clarity of 18-55 not so...

Hey! I decided to give this whole Youtube thing a try haha. Here is a video I made to help improve your travel shots; the basics! Cheers :1247:

A selfie from last year overlooking fog from a rooftop in Dubai.

Anyone interested in meeting up and getting some cool photos? I'll be traveling into the area for work and i'm bringing my 7d with a 24-70 with a tripod, usually like to grab some HDR, street, and journalistic stuff. I've been to NOLA back in 2010 but i think it would be fun to meet up with some...

This was taken in late October or 1st of November 2015 during a visit to the beautiful country of Ireland. We were blessed to be able to go and would recommend it to all. When we first arrived at the cliffs you couldn't see anything but a large cloud bank as it rolled over the cliffs but then...

The wife and I traveled to New England, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia this past October during which time we visited Wolfville, NS where I captured this panoramic shot and one of the two cover bridges in St Martin, New Brunswick.

I'll post some more pictures of this beautiful place later. This was hand held in low light with my Canon 70D. 17-55 lens at 17mm F 2.8 1/40 ISO 1250. I was let in this room for a couple of minutes then escorted to another room to watch the prayers. I was able to take photos and video there. A...

hi all, I'm in a state of utter uncertainty at the moment trying to decide what to take/buy for my travels next year. I currently own a canon 550d, a 50mm f1.8 lens and a sigma 24-70mm f2.8 lens. I've had the camera for about 7 years now. I picked the sigma lens up second hand for about $150...

In the Bhaktapur region of Kathmandu, Nepal, two women dry rice in an open market. Love their attire. I noticed so many women working in the fields doing hard manual labor dressed in clean, colorful clothing.

I liked the contrast not only in the black and white photo but the young boy being in the light suggesting youth and life and the older woman in the shadows suggesting maturity and old age. He was walking to school in the morning and she had stopped to get something out of her bag on the way to...

In the Bhaktapur region of Kathmandu. My trusty 17-55 mm Canon lens f 2.8 1/1250, 55mm, ISO 100. Very dusty area of Kathmandu even two years after the massive earthquake.

Another handful of shots from Hawaii: 1 - East side vintage feel: 2 - Sunset on Mauna Kea 3 - Tropical vignette 4 - Haleakala 5 - Along the road to Hana

Last year I did a backpacking trip to Peru. I have tons of photos, naturally, but here are just a few to share with you. As you'd expect, Machu Picchu is AMAZING and it blows your mind. But I also did a trek through a portion of the Amazon rain forest, something I've wanted to do since I was a...

Hello everyone, I'm going to be an exchange student now looking for a camera suitable for multi purposes. I'm not a total beginner so I've got some basic knowledge of photography. But I found it really difficult to get a versatile camera within 800 USD which is perfect to bring it along...

Hey, soon I will be going on a trip to Bhutan for 5 days, my main purpose is to photograph. So now I am confused as to which lens or lenses should I take with me. I want to keep it light dont want to take a lot of lenses which would mean changing lenses off and on which may lead to dust issues...

Hay guys, im in the Glen Burnie area just south of Baltimore. There are some really cool places Id like to check out in the state. If anyone is near Baltimore or someplace else in the sate what are some of your favorite places to do photoshoots? Be cool to find some locals to go out and explore...

Just wondering what some people do when travelling with all their camera gear? With all the restrictions these days about cabin baggage size and the amount of equipment we can be carrying as photographers surly you have to check some of it into the hold? I know I have to sometimes. Just reading...

Hi. I'm a photographer from Poland in Europe. Photography is my hobby since 2013 when a I bought my first DSLR and started taking photos of PC projects and parts. Latter I was fascinated about long exposure and nature photos, I'm also did portraits and commercial projects recently, but two...

Not my first time doing something like this, but my first time doing Kilimanjaro. It's a 6 day ascent with a 2 day descent, 8 total days on the mountain and then a 4 day safari through the Serengeti/Ngorongoro crater afterwards. Bringing the D7k and a couple lenses, several batteries & SD...

Hi everyone! Sorry this is so long, but I'm in need of some help from fellow photogs who travel. So I am having a problem - I am traveling to Europe for the first time this summer, and even though my area of expertise is not classic architecture, of course I want to bring my camera. I'm going...

I am in the market for a new travel tripod, I found one that I think is really good. It is compact and has a good load capacity. The problem for me is that there are two types, carbon fiber and aluminium. Naturally the aluminium is cheaper and heavier, but I am having a hard time finding a real...

Sharing another set that I've just finished editing, from a recent trip to Portugal! We were there for a few days as part of a longer trip and I wish we could have been there longer. Lisbon had so much to see and Lagos was a paradise. Excellent food, and of course the PORT!!! I also did a...

Thu Bon River has some estuaries that have direct access into Cua Dai Beach where water is deep and flow directly into West Vietnam Sea. It once was a bustling trading port town in the early 18 Century. Local people use big fishing net to trap fish, put them below the water at night and pull up...
