TC016 Blogging While Sailing the Caribbean
Travelogue Creator
I had a chance to do an interview with Joanne, a sailor doing America’s Great Loop with her husband David and their dog. She has been writing a travel blog since they left Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada many months ago. Their journey took them across the Great Lakes to Chicago, where the mast was taken off and trucked down to the Gulf of Mexico. With too many low bridges, they did the route down to the mouth of Mississippi River by motorboat. They have been sailing the Caribbean Seas for a few months living a dream. Plans are to put the boat up on dry dock during the hurricane season in...

TC013 Lighting for the Travel Photographer
Travelogue Creator
Photo light sources on your holidays will be many things, let me briefly cover the basics. In the daytime, the sun would be a traveling photographer's main source of illumination. At night and indoors we encounter many types of artificial lights so even a fire pit could light your shot. You have little control over these light sources so here is how I work with what there is on my vacations. Working with a mix of lighting to get natural, evenly exposed photos takes practice and a little bit of knowhow. Notice how I mentioned natural lighting as the goal. Unless you are going with a freaky...

TC011 Add WOW! to Your Travel Show
Travelogue Creator
You are about to head out the door on a holiday, camera at the ready. So what does one take on a vacation? Well most of us shoot a collection of random photos and videos as we go along over the span of our trip. Sometimes this works and when we arrive home there is a travelogue show we can cobble together, other times there is too much of one day and less of another. What is left to work with could be disjointed and may not produce a smooth coherent travel show. Now you could just shotgun the trip with endless photo/video coverage of places, people and events but that is more work and less...
