A Comprehensive Guide to Digital Travel Photography

The digital revolution has added a myriad of possibilities for artistic and creative interpretation and, with no need for darkrooms and chemical processing, producing a photograph could not be easier. In this, the latest addition to AVA's Digital Photography series, Duncan Evans explores shooting images and post-capture digital enhancement in a variety of environments. Using the "Shoot, Enhance and Enjoy" method, travelling shutterbugs will learn to compose and capture better images, whether on the streets of a foreign city, under the water of a tropical beach, or in extreme cold, snow, and ice. Professional advice is given for selecting equipment and accessories, using filters, and applying special digital effects to improve picture quality. Individual sections are dedicated to photographing wildlife, landscapes, people, noteworthy buildings, and other sights encountered on the journey. Also featured are tips for finding unusual viewpoints, and even things to keep in mind when photographing ancient ruins and religious sites. This book will be an invaluable resource for all those wanting to get the best from their digital camera whilst travelling, whether an experienced photographer or happy-snapper.

The easy-to-understand technique explanations from Evans, combined with a snappy design, help navigate some of the hurdles of both travel and digital photography. If I suddenly felt the urge to catch a flight to somewhere exotic and photogenic, this book would certainly be in my luggage.
