This is a fair question. What is travel photography? Is there any description, or reference definition? 4 / 37 MEL365.com - Travel & Photography THE LOVE FOR TRAVELLING, THE PASSION FOR PHOTOGRAPHY (MADE IN MELBOURNE AND AROUND THE GLOBE) https://mel365.com Easy question = difficult answer Why? It's very subjective. In saying that, I tend to agree with the Photographic Society of America on most of its definition. And let me go through the most important points: a travel photo has to "expresses the characteristic features or culture of a land as they are found naturally", I love to document the place I find, who doesn't. I think, however, we should always try to make photos from unusual corners, unusual situations, unusual people. A travel photo becomes great when it makes the place unique "Images from events or activities arranged specifically for photography, or of subjects directed or hired for photography are not appropriate", I am sure you have been to many local dance events. They are organised but not directed for photography. That makes the difference. This definition also takes most of the Instagram photos out of Travel Photography, here I mean the millions of photos including a traveller well positioned for example on top of a mountain, inside a van, etc. "Close up pictures of people or objects must include features that provide information about the environment". Sometimes the face or the hands of a person say more than a thousand words. I am not sure I really agree with this definition 100%. Indeed, sometimes we need to include features to define the environment, but not always. "The only allowable adjustments are removal of dust or digital noise, restoration of the appearance of the original scene, and complete conversion to greyscale monochrome". This is the point where I find myself a bit in disagreement and let me explain why. I do use Adobe Lightroom to improve my photos. I usually start on shadows, highlights. Sometimes I replicate an old film output (Kodak, Fujifilm). Why this should not be considered anymore travel photography meanwhile a greyscale monochrome conversion is. The majority of the people are not colour blind and a b&w photo is much more unusual, and far from reality, than a photo with a higher dynamic range, like our eyes are actually seeing the place. 5 / 37 MEL365.com - Travel & Photography THE LOVE FOR TRAVELLING, THE PASSION FOR PHOTOGRAPHY (MADE IN MELBOURNE AND AROUND THE GLOBE) https://mel365.com Travel Photography gear: best cameras, lenses and how to set them You may already know there is no best camera for any photography type. Sometimes I am surprised to read or hear someone, even in an authoritative position, saying "The best camera for wedding photography is the Canon XYZ" or "The best camera for sport is the Nikon ZXY". I wonder if there is any sort of compensation, or affiliation, behind it. Back to travel photography. There is no unique model or brand. It mostly depends on you, what kind of trips you usually do, what is your budget (very important). I personally suggest travelling as light as possible. There is no need to take 6 lenses with you. There is no need to have a "big" camera. I myself prefer to have an interchangeable lenses camera, however, there are nowadays a few 6 / 37 MEL365.com - Travel & Photography THE LOVE FOR TRAVELLING, THE PASSION FOR PHOTOGRAPHY (MADE IN MELBOURNE AND AROUND THE GLOBE) https://mel365.com compacts for travel photography in the market which are such a great value. Here below a list of guides and tutorials that will help you not only to buy a camera but also to use it in the best way: "Best travel cameras [with tips on what to look for]": I update this guide quite regularly. You will not find just a list of cameras but also what are the important features to search for. I explain how this or that particular camera can help you in your daily travel photography. 7 / 37 MEL365.com - Travel & Photography THE LOVE FOR TRAVELLING, THE PASSION FOR PHOTOGRAPHY (MADE IN MELBOURNE AND AROUND THE GLOBE) https://mel365.com "Best lenses for your travel camera": this post is as popular as the previous one. Why? Because it explains what to look for even before listing a lens. And most important, based on the budget you have. My tip here is to read both articles before buying anything. "Best Compact cameras for travel": the compact cameras are so convenient. Small and light. But what is the drawback and why? "Understanding focal length": to read before buying any lens "Full guide to ISO in Travel Photography": it's not just about how ISO works. It's about the creativity you can get through it. "How to use the Natural Light in Travel photography": who said that photography is all about controlling the light? Well, in travel photography we have only the natural light. This is a guide on how to use it to improve our shots. "Camera focusing techniques": how to be in control of the camera focusing and how to use in your favour "Photographing moving water: the guide": who does not love that nice silky effect or the artistic movement "Shooting moving objects in travel photography": have you ever heard of panning? "Capture movement in the landscape": simple and easy photography effects "Three easy steps to shoot light trails": how to impress with less "How to use lead-in lines in travel photography": one of the most effective way to compose your photo "7 steps for your best misty and foggy travel photography": I used all of them in foggy France and misty Malaysia "Top suggestions for sharp travel photography": it's not all about a tripod.

If you are after an amazing photography course, that explains everything you really need and so much more, then have a look at the incredible videos of Marc Levoy, retired from Stanford and now working with Google on their photography technology.

  • Editorial Aspects of Travel Photography
    Editorial Aspects of Travel Photography By its very nature, this magazine is a showcase of the past. In this issue the authors stroll the lands of two past centuries. They observe the photographs that were once laid out in the shop windows and displays of sometimes distant countries. They reflect on the items shown, and why it is that this specific series, this body of work, is to be presented to the – hopefully, at least somewhat – astonished eyes of the PhotoResearcher’s readers. Naturally, it is only possible to show a few small segments of the world in images that once conveyed new experiences.

  • Estimating Your Air Consumption
    10/29/2019 Alert Diver | Estimating Your Air Consumption Estimating Your Air Consumption Advanced Diving Public Safety Diving By Mike Ange Mastering Neutral Buoyancy and Trim Military Diving Technical Diving Scientific Diving and Safety Program Oversight Seeing the Reef in a New Light ADVERTISEMENT Do you have enough breathing gas to complete the next dive? Here's how to find out. It is a warm clear day, and the Atlantic Ocean is like glass. As you drop into the water for a dive on North Carolina's famous U-352 wreck, you can see that the :: captain has hooked the wreck very near the stern. It is your plan to circumnavigate the entire structure and get that perfect photograph near the exposed bow torpedo tube. You descend to slightly below 100 feet, reach the structure and take off toward the bow. Unfortunately, you are only halfway, just approaching the conning tower, when your buddy signals that he is running low on air. Putting safety first, you return with him to the ascent line — cursing the lost opportunity and vowing to find a new buddy. If you've ever experienced the disappointment of ending a dive too soon for lack of breathing gas or, worse, had to make a hurried ascent because you ran out of air, it may surprise you to learn that your predicament was entirely predictable. With a little planning and some basic calculations, you can estimate how much breathing gas you will need to complete a dive and then take steps to ensure an adequate supply. It's a process that technical divers live by and one that can also be applied to basic open-water diving.

  • Community Management of Wild Vicuña in Bolivia As a Relevant Case to Explore Community- Based Conservation Under Common Property Regimes, As Explained in Chapter 1
    Community-based Conservation and Vicuña Management in the Bolivian Highlands by Nadine Renaudeau d’Arc Thesis submitted to the University of East Anglia for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2005 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived therefrom, may be published without the author’s prior, written consent. Abstract Abstract Current theory suggests that common property regimes, predicated on the community concept, are effective institutions for wildlife management. This thesis uses community-based conservation of vicuña in the Bolivian highlands as a case study to re-examine this theory. Vicuña is a wild South American camelid living in the high Andes. Its fibre is highly valued in international markets, and trade of vicuña fibre is controlled and regulated by an international policy framework. Different vicuña management systems have been developed to obtain fibre from live- shorn designated vicuña populations. This thesis analyses whether the Bolivian case study meets three key criteria for effective common property resource management: appropriate partnerships across scale exist; supportive local-level collective action institutions can be identified; and deriving meaningful benefits from conservation is possible. This thesis adopts a qualitative approach for the collection and analysis of empirical data. Data was collected from 2001 to 2003 at different levels of governance in Bolivia, using a combination of ethnographic techniques, and methods of triangulation. Community-level research was undertaken in Mauri-Desaguadero and Lipez-Chichas fieldwork sites.
