Morocco

Here is something different for our blog – a news report! Now, before you blow me away with your excitement, let me just mention that there won’t be too many of these, I just thought a little news post would be good to explain the absence of posts over the next week.

We’re leaving for Morocco tomorrow and I have to say, it could be the most excited for a trip that I’ve ever been. My excitement stems from the fact that we really don’t know what to expect. We’re spending 7 nights in 7 different locations, most of which do not have a large media presence online.

Packing for this trip has also been a bit different. Because part of the trip will involve riding camels, we have to take back packs and everything, including tripods, camera gear and sleeping bags has to fit. Consequently, we’re taking far less camera gear and we’re hoping all photos will fit on our 40 odd gigs worth of CF memory card. There will definitely be a report back on how it all pans out.

Pix Magazine

I was stoked to see that the latest Pix magazine published a 15 page (mostly pictures) article that we wrote on shooting strangers. I’ve been dying to post the article on the blog, but I don’t post any articles until they have been published, so that will be up next week some time.

Website Portfolio

If you tried to visit the blog and forgot to enter the /blog part of the address, you may have noticed that we have a new travel portfolio site up. It is not 100% complete, but I’m well pleased how it is starting to look, so check it out.

Catching Up

Lastly, I realized that we were on our way to Morocco and I still had photos to process from Scotland, France, Switzerland, South Africa and the UK. Needless to say, I spent quite a while in post production and managed to get through the bulk of the work. Below are some of my favorites.

As we explore the world, we meet fascinating people. I met Alfred whilst shooting landscapes at the main beach at Sedgefield.

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.
