Tips for Taking Picture During Travel
Travelling is fun and enjoyable. You will see new places and events that you never experience before. Isn’t that worth capturing on photo? This kind of memory is priceless when you look at them in the future.
So, here are some tips to share with you about travel photography
1. Know your destination
When you are going for a trip, you ought to check the weather at your destination. Plan ahead what you need to bring and how much space you have for your digital camera.
It is nice that you are going somewhere sunny and bright. Then you will have plenty of space for your camera instead of stuffing your luggage with the equipments. When you plan to take picture at the beach, see that you will bring protective gears to protect your camera because sand can ruin your camera and lens.
2. The gears
Since you already know where you are going, you will have the idea of what you are going to photograph. Let’s say that you are on a hiking trip, what you will see is mostly scenery. So, probably you can leave your telephoto lens and pack the wide angle lens for your trip. However, when you are on a trip to Africa, where wild life is your subject, probably you will need that telephoto lens so you can stay away from the lions when you are taking their pictures.
Besides that, have you thought of using a compact digital camera instead of the DSLR? Some point and shoot cameras are build with wide angle lens and high optical zoom. If you are unsatisfied with the pictures, you can always edit them with editing software when you are back from your trip.
3. The right accessories
Now, when you are taking picture during your travel, you will have hard choices of what to keep and what not. Most of the time, you will take a few pictures on the same subject. So, probably you will want to bring more memory cards or a bigger capacity storage media.
Have you ever thought of storage online? Now you can keep your images online and a lot of these services are free. When you need more space, you can always upgrade your account. In this way, you will solve the frustration of giving up any pictures.

Taxi or tube from Heathrow to Hyde Park Ramada?
Looking for advice on how to get from Heathrow to Hyde Park Ramada. Does anyone know if there is a shuttle or the approx. cost of a taxi? Tube? Bus? First time to London - can’t wait!
I would take the Heathrow Express.
When you arrive at the airport, just follow the signs for Public Transportation.. there will be signs for the tube and for the Express.The Express takes you into the center of London in about 15 minutes.. its direct, no stops.
You arrive at Paddington Train Station. And from there you can either:
walk outside and take a short cab ride to your hotel, if you have alot of luggage.
OR, if you can handle your luggage– follow the signs to the Underground — which will take you to the Paddington TUBE Station. From there, take the District/Central tube line to the Notting Hill station (which is very close, it should be the very first stop)
- And also to note– I definitely recommend you use the Tube alot while you’re in London. Its verry efficient. And buy an Oyster card right away (they come in different daily increments).. it is "pre-paying" and allows you unlimited use on those days.
Check out the links below. The second one has a great feature– Journey Planner. You can enter in your destinations and it will tell you the different options for getting there, how long it’ll take, if there will be stairs, etc….
Have a great time in London.. i love it there. I fell in love w/ that city. My first trip was March 2005.. and then I went back June/July 2005, November 2005 and then again.. Sept 2006. I’m kinda addicted and am missing it!!

How much will it cost to take a taxi from Heathrow Airport to Hyde Park in London?
We’re traveling there soon and are trying to decide if it’s cheaper to take a taxi or the Heathrow Express for four people. Thank you.
Why not just take the London Underground - The Piccadilly line runs from all terminals at Heathrow direct to Hyde Park - by far the cheapest and quickest way to do that journey. The trains are designed for people with luggage so that’s no problem.
