Travelling with your camera.

[SH]Travelling with your camera. [/SH] Digital cameras are great! In days of old, every shot on film had to wait to be processed, and if it didn’t work as you’d hoped there was often no chance to

I would also suggest that carrying a tripod might help you get some creative shots that would otherwise not be possible. A laptop is an item that I wouldn't get far without as once that memory card fills up I need a means to transfer the images to a hard drive. It also allows me to edit and post on the go. An excellent place for sharing travel pics is a Facebook site called Australian landscapes, nature and wildlife. The range there varies from absolutely spectacular to beginners. My main interest is video but I still snap a few shots along the way. A recent example of my video http://youtu.be/h6V1Uwwc6Yo

Yes Rod. Excellent points. I had intended including some remarks about using a tripod but as I progressed I realised that it was getting another step away from the message I was trying to convey - that the camera can be a great help in learning to observe. I'd also intended mentioning something else regarding a tripod and remote release that's generally overlooked - our camera may be rated at 10 or 20 megapixels but any movement while the shutter is open (or the electronic equivalent!) obviously smears the image over lots of pixels. I wonder how often we actually get anything approaching the resolution stated in the brochure. Routinely converting to .jpg doesn't help here either.

Yes again to a laptop, also now that memory is so cheap, plenty of spare memory cards.

Thank you for pointing out the Facebook group - I have used the Yahoo site but wasn't aware of the Facebook group. I haven't managed to access the youtube link - is it correct?

Thank you for your interest

Cheers
