Today, everyone is an aspiring photographer due to the ubiquitousness of the cell phone camera. Instead of carting around their large DSLR, the cell phone is becoming the de facto tool of choice, since it’s always with us.

As sure as the sun will rise, it is infinitely better to capture your travel landscapes at exactly that moment—sunrise.
Without any doubt, sunrise is the perfect time to be in position and photographing the landmarks that you find on your travels. There has been a lot of discussion, debate, and even heated argument through the years about whether sunrise or sunset will offer you the better shot, and I feel it's important to try and put the matter to rest.
I do believe that anyone who argues that sunset is better enjoys their sleep and doesn’t

Making sharp images from a moving ship requires shooting with a fast shutter speed and being prepared to capture the moment. It had been raining all day in Glacier Bay when the weather finally broke.

The greatest challenge in travel photography and in photography in general is capturing the essence of a person or place. The world is smaller than ever and almost everyone is traveling and taking pictures. So how do you separate yourself from the pack?We are often told that the best time to photograph is during the magic hours of dusk and dawn. The lighting can be very gentle, even, with wonderful shades of yellow and blue dancing together. However, I think more magic can be found when we photograph at night and extend our exposure into the

It was December 2005. We had just made the long crossing of the Drake Passage to Antarctica. On the horizon were enormous icebergs. It was our first view of big ice. We all rushed to the deck and began to photograph. I found myself standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Seth Resnick. He was using a long 300mm lens. I was using a wide 28mm lens. We both looked at each other and then looked again. Our approach was so different we were astonished. "Let me see your camera!" we both said

With the exception of a few SpongeBob and Hello Kitty point-and-shoot digicams, every digital camera allows you the option of setting the White Balance (WB) to a selection of specific pre-sets (Daylight, Cloudy, Fluorescent, Tungsten, etc.) or Auto, and for the most part, you’ll get acceptable results regardless of whether you set your camera to Auto or man-up and choose one of the camera’s pre-set modes. But what about getting the best results?
Those who shoot RAW files can rightfully argue it’s a moot point, and in most cases, even
