Petersen’s PHOTOgraphic Digital Photo Guide, available only on newsstands, is a beautifully designed quarterly with 48 pages of up-to-date tutorials, uninterrupted by advertising from cover to cover.
What makes this publication unique is that each issue is devoted to a single topic, enabling you to make the most of your digital camera and shoot like a pro.
Travel photography calls upon every photographic skill you have. Since you will encounter every conceivable type of subject—people, landscapes, macro, wildlife, architecture, festivals—you will be challenged on many levels. You can certainly narrow your shooting to a specific type of subject matter, and many photographers do. For example, you could go to Costa Rica and only concentrate on hummingbirds. However, you would miss the butterflies, volcanic mountains, poison dart frogs, macaws, tropical flowers, the churches, and the culture.
For me, travel photography demands that you push yourself out of your comfort zone to try your hand at the types of photography you may have avoided up to now. If you only like to shoot nature, perhaps it’s time to start capturing portraits of children or city skylines at twilight. If you feel comfortable in shooting graphic design, such as windows, doors, colorful laundry, and architectural details, it would be great to challenge yourself and try your hand at wildlife photography. Who knows …you may be pleasantly surprised (and even amazed) that you are good at it. If you love capturing beauty, as I do, know that it comes in many forms. As you read this issue, keep that in mind. My entire orientation to travel photography is that my mission is to capture as many beautiful subjects as I can. That includes pretty much everything—faces, landscapes, dance, color, religious monuments, butterflies, sunsets, and anything else that appeals to me.
