Travel Photography Beyond The Camera

"Ralph Velasco is an award-winning travel photography instructor and international tour guide. Doing travel photography in more than forty countries on six continents, Velasco has led cultural photography tours to Egypt, Eastern Europe, and throughout the United States. Now, with his iPhone app, My Shot Lists, Velasco makes it easy for photographers to stick to the basics and come home with some great photos.
"My Shot Lists for Travel is based on a class I teach called Capturing the Essence of a Place. In it, I outline the importance of adhering to a fundamental principle of photography, that of working from a shot list." says Velasco on his blog, adding "Doing so takes the guess work out of whether or not you've thoroughly covered a destination or subject and increases the odds that you'll return with a set of travel photography images that truly creates an overall sense of a place for the viewers of your travel photography."
