Fantastic Travel Companion

Have made my way through several books on travel photography lately, undoubtedly the best I have read!! There are many other books available which are useless when it comes to being practical. This book is not a picture book, just very informative. Recently I went away for another trip overseas and actually lugged this book along for the ride. Susan lets you in on good places to start for every major country in the world and also places to avoid...incredibally usefull. More handy then a 'lonely planet' for photographers.

Tips for aspiring pros

For anyone who has any dreams of selling their work either part time or becoming a full-time travel pro this book is a definite must. But even for those who just want to take their travel photography to a new level this book will provide the information needed to get there. As a full-time travel photographer/writer myself this book was a big inspiration for me and, of all the travel photography books I've read, definitely the most comprehensive and useful. I continually read over it and use it as a resource tool. You won't be disappointed.

An outstanding tool!

This is an outstanding book. I've purchased copies of it for my advanced photo friends and open it constantly. It is not just about travel photogrpahy but photography in general. Although I really enjoyed the sections on preferred epuipment and lighting, I paarticularly liked a secion of the book that included 10 self assignments to enhance your photo skills. These are assignments much like those that you might receive as a travel photographer or even photojournalist -- all intended to achieve the ultimate goal of creating an incredible portfolio of work. There are great reference guides, sidebars and tools throughout the book that I am sure you will use too.

Skip photography school. Read this book. Travel. Shoot!

Susan McCartney's latest edition of Travel Photography is a gem of a book for any serious travel photographer. Her simple explanations and honost advice about the ins and outs of location photography can save anyone years of mistakes and frustrations. Each chapter reads independently and there is a chapter for every major conceivable topic in modern travel photography including digital technologies. There are also a couple of chapters dealing with how to best photograph various places around the globe. This book should motivate everyone to travel responsibly to the wonderful locales she writes about. Filled with facts and great ideas about shooting anything anywhere - I can honostly say that I wish I had read this book before enrolling in photography school.
