Clouds have always fascinated me. The shapes, colours, sizes, textures are all so different making them very photogenic. Clouds can have the ability to turn a boring blue sky into a maze of interesting shapes.
When travelling clouds really can be very exciting to photograph due to different weather systems. Different weather patterns mean that clouds add mystery to any image. The great thing about clouds is that they are totally random and very unpredictable giving you totally unique shots.

How to use a Polarizing filter
Submitted by Abby on Mon, 2009-06-29 07:26
By far my favourite and the single most useful filter for travel photography is a Polarizing filter.
By using a Polarizing filter you can dramatically improve your landscape photography. In simple terms a Polarizing filter will darken blue skies, remove reflections and increase the colour and saturation of your photographs. To understand out a polarizing filter works you will have to understand physics of light which I far to complicated to brother about!! Basically a polarizing filter will cut though tropical glare and haze which is why it is so useful for travel photographers and you really don't have to be a professional to use one. Read more

Great travel shots don't have to mean an expensive camera. If you have a 'point and shoot' you can still get great photographs. In fact there are many up sides to sticking with your compact point and shoot camera. When travelling the photographer has to think about weight and size of there equipment, using a compact camera rules this worry out! When out and about on your travels or holiday being able to quickly get to your camera is vital in capturing the 'moment'. Again using a compact camera makes this easy, it will fit in your pocket or top of your bag....perfect!! Most compacts these days have high mega pixels and picture quality, lots of settings to play with, a great flash, high quality lens, brilliant colour result ect ect. Love your compact camera, it will love you back and reward you with brilliant travel photographs.
