KodakIntroduction

This is a book for people who like to travel and who like to take pictures of the places they visit -- a group of which I am happy to be a member.  Whether you travel to rationalize shooting lots of film or your photography habit drives you to find new places to shoot, and whether you're an experienced SLR photographer or a casual point-and-shooter, this book is meant for you.

It is a book as much about how to find and approach different subjects as about camera settings. Many of the concepts discussed can be realized with the simplest point-and-shoot cameras, but where the SLR shooter would benefit from specific information about apertures and shutter speeds, I have included them.

Because travel itself is such a broad subject, covering everything from a Saturday drive to a round-the-world cruise, I have approached travel photography through both broad themes and specific topics: by types of subjects (landscapes, architecture, portraits, animals), By shooting conditions (humidity, rain, dramatic lighting), by compositional devices (horizon placement, frames-within-frames), and by camera technique (exposure, depth of field, filters, camera choice). Being aware of and making the connections between these four image building-blocks -- and applying them to your own situations -- should enable you to see consistent (and relatively rapid) improvement in your travel pictures.
