Stepping back to observe….
Whenever I visit an area with a ton of tourists I try to step back from the crowd and just observe. I think we miss a lot of photographic opportunities when we just follow along and get lost in the herd.
Getting into the groove….
Whenever I travel the first day out with the camera can be the worst. It’s not uncommon for me to take a few days to warm up to my surroundings. To unthaw I typically try to focus my first day of shooting at public events or parks.
GIMP- Free image editing software
I wouldn’t say GIMP is an Adobe Photoshop killer by a long shot, but it’s definitely an alternative for those looking to do more than just crop their images. Not to mention you can’t beat the price – FREE.
