Some Inspiring Photography Trip Destinations
So your planning your photography adventure, you have your camera, your savings and you have your excitement. Where are you going to go?
Here is a list of some great photography destinations to inspire you.
Cornwall England.
My home land, so this has to be top. Basically Cornwall is beautiful, but we quite often forget this. With its rolling green fields, dramatic coats, Truro’s famous cathedral and of course the Cornish tin mines. Cornwall is a photographers dream. September is the best time to visit Cornwall, the weather is still warm-ish and the crowds have gone home. Early morning and late afternoon are are ‘must photograph’ time.
Cornwall is where my home is and as I said I often overlook its beauty. Remember to look for the beauty in your home town. This can be anything from the Cornish coast to inner city gardens. Photographing things in your home town is free and will build your experience.
There are some fantastic Cornish photography tours. Check out digitalslrcourses.co.uk for some great Cornish coastal photography courses.
Delhi, India.
India is a absolute must as a travel photographer. The mixture and contrast of photographic subject is absolutely enormous and everything is photogenic. I would recommend you go to India when you have lots of time, at least two months. India is huge and to get it all in you need lots of time.
If time is not on your side I would recommend an eight-day photography tour or Delhi. You will be guided though fun photographic challenges by a professional photographer. Subject include, Ranthambore national park and the Taj Mahal. This is a great tour for families with children over the age of seven.
Prices start at £1,239 per person but this does include B&B accommodations and flights. adventurecompany.co.uk

Rich with, drama and shine Monaco has anything you need to photograph some really high end photographs. You may want to find accommodation on the French boarder to save money. On sunny days a polarising filter is a must in Monaco to give you crisp colours and cut of reflections.
