Hello everyone, I am graduating from university soon and planning to travel for some time before I move on with my master's degree. The point of my trip is to clear my mind, relax, and work on my photography. I have already exhausted multiple sources for tips on where to go and what to see in the countries I am planning to visit. However, I came here to get final advice from those with travel experience I am planning to go to Egypt, Saudi Arabia for sure. Turkey, Goa, Calgary, Brazil, Argentina, and Chile are other options too, and I am mostly able to afford going to three countries from the latter list. My question is: For those who have travelled to any of those places, what do you recommend as to where to go (in terms of photography opportunities)? I am looking to do lots of landscape, waterscape, and street photography. I am gonna be travelling with a D40x, a nifty fifty 1.8, and an 18-135 telephoto. I know the equipment is very very basic, but I think I'll manage with it because I'd rather use the money to get to different places. However, I am entertaining the idea of selling my camera and getting a used D90 or a new D60. Any advice or tips you can throw my way will be very helpful, if you need more information please feel free to ask. Thanks to all
My tip for you. Jump onto Flickr and type the places into search, then read what people say in the descriptions. I found some neat things to photograph in just my home town using this. Type in cities, landmarks, anything.
I wouldn't get a D60, it's not much of an upgrade from a D40x. The D90 would be great, though, just the auto-focus alone on the nifty fifty will make a huge difference. Sorry I can't comment on the countries, they all sound great! Do you speak Spanish or another language?

Thanks for the help! Andrew, yes I speak spanish, arabic, english, and french, so I'll be covered Does the D5000 autofocus with the 50mm? I found a buyer for my D40x with an 18-135 lens for $550....I think that's the best deal I can get for it given the model. There are some D90s out there from around 1000$CDN (body only) to CDN$1300 with an 18-105 VR lens. All I care about is to get a camera that will autofocus with the 50mm. Does anyone know any cheaper options in Canada? Specifically Toronto?
I am looking at this: Nikon D90 Digital SLR Camera Body +5 Lens 16gb * NEW * on eBay.ca (item 130318757884 end time 13-Aug-09 17:49:51 EDT) Looks like a great deal right?
