Travel Photography Book Review
I’ve been getting stuck into some Travel Photography ever since I bought my first Digital SLR – a Nikon D60, which I’ve loved since I bought it. I’ve been trying to capture as many Funny Travel Photos as possible! Dave from The Longest Way Home (you can follow him on Twitter @TLWH) asked me to review his Travel Photography Book – the 5 Top Places To Travel And Photograph, and I was more than happy to oblige – it’s an interesting visual feast!
But before I review his Travel Photography Book, check out some of his Travel Photos that he’s captured on his five year plus journey around the world – lucky bastard!
Anyway, back to the Travel Photography Book!
‘5 Top Places To Travel and Photograph’ is a free e-book available to all e-mail subscribers of The Longest Way Home.
If you don’t know, Dave from TLWH is trying to find home somewhere, and it’s taken him 5 years of travelling so far and counting. Not a bad career move really! I’ve resorted to trying to pimp myself to score the odd trip here and there!
The 5 Top Places to Travel & Photograph e-book is a 16 Megabyte monster file that packs in a visual spectacular of photos from the Top 5 Places Dave feels are awesome places to travel to and photograph.
The e-book contains all colour photographs, full page pullouts and is designed to be printed out. Each chapter has a tips page on travel & photography related to that country.
Dave’s Travel Photography Book Tips – Not Just About Technique
What I like about it the most, is the practical and useful tips for Travel Photography in the countries that he mentions, which I feel are more important than learning Travel Photography Techniques.
Some of the useful Travel Photo tips may help you possibly avoid jail! Seriously! But there’s all sorts of information such as visa tips, cultural do’s and don’ts and practical photo gear care tips that will ensure you are ready to capture that all important shot – and not score a free cavity search from the local constabulary.
I won’t reveal Dave’s Top 5 Countries to Photograph, but he had to make a selection from Europe to the Middle East and Asia.

Like you have mentioned it’s extremely important to know where you’re taking photos and how you have to behave and respect the local culture. Such tips are vital to your success. You may get huge help and incredibly useful privileges if you know how to adjust your attitude.
Similarly, if you don’t know the local codes of behavior, you may find yourself in difficult position on how to make the most of your photography journey there.
lucky bastard indeed! LOL excellent shots!
lucky bastard indeed! LOL excellent shots and great tips cheers mate:)
I envy him so much. Nice Photo shot he got there!
I can see that, people are shy but curious. So,the photo looked so natural! He is such so lucky to travel and meet new people. Discover their culture and of course creating ‘friendship’ is the best!
I do agree,in order to have a successful work may it be traveling or any job you really need to know your subject first and respect what needs to be respected!
Great ideas you shared! 🙂
The travel photographer has the best job in the world. To visit all these magical places and take such stunning photos – “life is good”.
Shooting images in many of these countries must be challenging… I did like the “dont get thrown in jail” tip. I’m sure there have been many close encounters. Great tips, thanks.
