Review: Travel Photography: Travel Photo Essentials by Margaret Brown

This is a tiny but useful book for travelers who want to bring better pictures home from their journeys. It seems to be aimed at beginning photographers which is what I am so that is perfect for me.

There are many helpful tips in a small space here, tips that will help you improve the quality of your travel photos and, just as important, there are some great pictures included to provide inspiration for your own efforts.

One expression I never heard before is "zoom with your feet," in other words, get up close to your subject and try to fill the frame with it. There is lots of advice about making use of shadows and sunlight to get interesting effects.

Ms. Brown reminds us to look for the unconventional shots, the pictures other people are NOT taking. She advises us to look for different angles by getting up high or crouching down low or even lying flat out on the ground and not to worry if we "look a bit odd" taking photos.

That's good advice!

The Kindle edition of this book seems well worth $6.99 to me and it is so short we can give it a quick read before every trip to help us bring some memorable photos back with us.
