U3AC Photo Forum 2023-24 – Week 16 Travel Photography

Graham Wickens, Cologne

Graham Wickens titled his talk Travelling Photography.

  1. Travel photography embraces many other genres, landscape, street, portraiture, food etc.
  2. Deciding on what equipment to take: less is best. One camera body with medium wide angle/telephoto lenses.  Tripod optional.
  3. Think about security (carry equipment unobtrusively) and back-up pictures.
  4. Take pictures while travelling on trains, boats, planes, cable cars, horse and carts and hot air balloons etc.
  5. Avoid a night (or more) in jail by not photographing sensitive military and other infrastructure.
  6. When photographing people show respect – reactions will quickly show whether it’s acceptable.
