If you’ve ever dreamed of taking photos that could grace the pages of National Geographic, this will be the most important page you’ll read today.

You see…

There are photographers, and then there are travel photographers.

To be a great travel photographer, you have to learn how to see the world like one.

And great travel photographers think differently.

They’re a special group of photographers because they deal with circumstances other photographers don’t.

One: they have to be on the go with a Spartan set of tools.

Their ‘travel bag’ has to include only the most essential pieces of equipment. They aren’t spoiled with lenses they may (or may not) use… or tripods that are too big.

Two: they have to be adaptable to any setting or scene.

They can’t get too comfortable shooting the same subject. This means their skills have to be developed to deal with any subject, setting or scene.

...and they certainly can’t rely on a “stroke of luck” to get good shots.

MOST IMPORTANTLY… They know how to “turn on” great photography!

You see, they may only have a day or two in one spot.

Many of the travel photographers in the PhotographyTalk community jump from place-to-place… so they have to rely on a set of finely sharpened skills to get the shots they need quickly.

They need to be able to ‘tap into’ trusted strategies that deliver results.
