Five must haves for a Travel Photographer
While it would be ideal to travel with a large selection of cameras in order to get the one great shot, let's be honest, it's not fun to lug around suitcases while taking pictures. Thus, when packing your ideal travel bag, weight and size are crucial. These are your essentials for the best travel photographs. Lenses: We are not focusing on the camera, assuming you own one, DSLR or mirror less, with interchangeable lenses. It is common knowledge for any good photographer that while the body of the camera provides the basis for stunning photography, the entire experience hinges on the lens.
No wonder, the options for different kinds of lenses are so many that it can easily confuse even the best professional travel photographer out there. While your heart might implore you to carry different lenses, you should carry just about two that could cover most of the photographs. Although we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, carrying a walk around and a fast prime lens is a good policy. When choosing a walk around lens, go for the one with a wide aperture. A wide aperture lets in more light making the lens suitable for a range of photography situations.
