Re: Product List, retail sites and price guides (update 04)
Regarding travelling...
will be starting a small component on this. Text Lonely Planet - my favorite text Web Wookup - resources put up by enthusiats, it is a waste that a lot of effort is being put in but participation is not strong (which is always the case for many travel websites), lot of questions posted but never anyone who is free enough to go back to answer... My favorite clubsnap travel photographers go to advanced search, key in the "User Name", choose "find threads started by user", choose "search in land/citiscape and travel". not in sequence... 1. melnjes 2. eikin 3. zerodivine 4. w.s. 5. hosea 6. E500 7. nuts 8. arttl 9. splutter 10. wormz777 11. rawbean 12. offspring 13. SniperD 14. behyx dig out the following from my dead old thread that i can't possibly maintain How do you plan your travel photographic gear Lens The lens you used for travelling? 2005 Dec Which Travel Lens To Get? What lens to bring for travel? If only 1 len which one would you bring Need help in travel photography. All in 1 Travel Lens... For travel use....Which lense you think is suitable for me? Good travel lens... advice needed A Good Canon Travel Lens Travel Lens Travel lensNeed recommendations for lens (for travel usage) What lens do you bring when you travel on vacation? land/cityscape & Travel Lenses Bags Not obvious camera bag Recommendation for camera bag travel tips for a "virgin" Bags for travelling Storage Cheapest way to store pictures during travel Preparation for weather Safe to bring DSLR to France during winter? Others Travel photography Digital Photography Travel Checklist?? How size should I print out my photos? Megaweb photosize ISO paper sizes Where to host your pictures some of the few places i used..... Photobucket Picsplace Where to share your picture galleries 1. your own website 2. clubsnap 3. World is round |
