MATCHMAKER -- Professional photographs of your next trip? The List' Staff:
“During a recent trip to Boston, I took most of my own pictures. You see me in front of Paul Revere, me in front of George Washington, and me at Harvard University. The photos are known as selfies and are often less than flattering. Hiring local photographers for special getaways has been one option, but finding good ones can be a bit tricky.

MYSTERY SOLVED! -- How The Internet Helped One Photog Find a Mystery Couple Using Only Old Slides D.L. Cade: DL Cade: Harry and Edna Grossmann’s stories ended in 1986 and 1983, respectively. A long-time married couple, they never had kids, and instead chose a life of travel and photography. But none of this was known to most of the world until 30 old boxes containing 1,100 slides of their travels made their way into Chicago-based photographer, Jeff Phillips‘, hands.

CAUTION -- Have Camera, Will Travel: Where Not to Take Photos. Nicole Nguyen:
“While soaking up the sights, you'll be tempted to capture every waking moment. But not everything is subject to photography, and it's better to err on the side of caution when submersed in a foreign culture.” SOURCE: http://www.geeksugar.com/Photography-Etiquette-30606184
TAKEAWAY: Photographers who make their living at showing the rest of the world what’s out there can not afford to be curtailed. Putting ‘moral’ handcuffs on a talented photographer and asking her or him to stop short of gaining a good photograph – is the same as muffling a poet or song writer. There have been many despotic dictators in the world in the last century who have, much to their benefit, banned photography in their countries.

THE LIFE OF A TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHER -- Joe Rooney+ . People who have the time and the resources travel around a lot. While they travel, they take pictures with a camera.

GOOD BLURRED PICTURES: Here are seven good rules. Harry Fisch: “Taken on occasion in Varanasi, at 5 a.m., this photograph manages to reflect the magical moment of bathing on the banks of the Ganges.

How to look like a beginner. Kate Siobhan Havercroft “REALITY CHECK: Any photographer who sneers at someone trying to learn the craft needs to check themselves.

IT’S UNIQUE. Nick Zantop “Much like travel itself, the first step in good travel photography takes place long before you set foot in the airport or get into your car for a long road-trip. Research! Everywhere we travel to is unique and special. A travel photo should make the viewer long to be there in the scene, so as photographers we need to be conscious of all these things that make a place special in its own way.”

POST-PROCESSING TOOLS -- Have you ever arrived from a trip excited about your pictures, only to find they don’t exactly look right? You shot what you wanted to capture, the light conditions were perfect and you got the frame just right but somehow the resulting picture looks dull, dark or not perfectly focused. Although there’s some debate about how far one should go when editing your pictures, I don’t know of any photographer who doesn’t include post-processing as part of his/her workflow.

Last year I was in Paris and I set myself the assignment of documenting life on the Paris Metro”. http://www.pixiq.com/article/get-better-travel-photos-by-giving-yourself-an-assignment?utm_source=Pixiq+Newsletter&utm_campaign=ccc2a87138-May_04_20125_4_2012&utm_medium=email
