First off, happy new decade to you all. We’ve just come back from a three week trip to South Africa and have already filled 2010 with travel plans.

If you’re a subscriber, you will have noticed that there haven’t been many posts in the last 3 weeks. This was partially because we had limited Internet facilities, but also because I would like to keep the posts on this site meaningful. I’m pretty sure you’re not interested in seeing a constant stream of Christmas family snapshots (although some photo blogs seem to think it is a good idea).

For 2010, the weekly travel photography competition will fall away. Instead, I will display a selection of my favorite images from the group. There are many awesome travel pictures posted to the Nomadic Vision flickr group and I want to give them all some exposure.

We will continue to split the articles up between travel photography tips and location guides. Thanks so much for your continued support.

Congratulations to Dale Ruebin for winning this week’s travel photo of the week with his minimalistic take of a seascape.

Why this Photo Won

I envy people who are able to do this sort of photography. I’ve often been inspired by minimalistic seascapes, but my own attempts always leave me feeling disappointed. It is remarkably difficult to capture a scene like this in a way that appeals artistically.

The muted tones and colour add to the overall effect and the wave adds just enough detail to make the picture interesting.
