Require photographer for a photoshoot

As well as many other fans of travel photography, I believe that the lure of travel is surpassed only by the inevitable desire to bring home pictures and share our travel adventures. Since the late 1800s when George Eastman produced the first traveling camera with the slogan, "You press the button, we do the rest," travel and photography have been eternally joined. With the added benefits of digital photography so readily available to consumers today, the field is full of new opportunities and new challenges.

So it's not surprising that joining this online course entitled "Travel Photography for the Digital Photographer" which is organized by Meridian Technology Center (Stillwater, Oklahoma (USA)) allowed me and the other participants to discover this fascinating world through a photographer's eye even in more detail. This course addressed the special needs and techniques digital photographers need to capture scenes from around the world and bring them home. We focused on specific tips for digital photographers, and how to use both traditional techniques as well as those unique to digital equipment.

Throughout this new online learning journey, we had a chance to look at subjects such as wildlife on land and at sea, and how to get the best shots of animals in captivity as well as those in the wild. We also discussed the ways to blend in with nature for this popular area of photography and the best kind of equipment for specialized shooting.

It was nice to see that the organizers of the course shared tips on taking shots for professional use and those to treasure from a family vacation. We discussed the situations that require model and property releases, and those that don't. A little bit later we also had a chance to learn how and when it's appropriate to pay people to take their picture and how to make the most of those types of opportunities.

It's also not a secret that environmental challenges can put one's camera equipment in jeopardy, yet conditions such as freezing temperatures and tropical heat often abound in some of the most beautiful places in the world. This class addressed those issues and offered practical solutions that travel easily.

Finally, we've also learned more about traveling with digital equipment and what to take and what to leave behind as we venture into the wilderness, onto a cruise ship, up in a helicopter, or over an international border. The instructor and his assistants shared with us various examples from destinations around the world, and expanded our knowledge of techniques for shooting digitally and working with the images after we get back. Hope to have many opportunities for practicing all these things discussed in the course during my next travels for sure then, yes-yes:=))).
