Travel pictures provide me with a whole new opportunity to continue learning photography. It seems as if so much of what I have learned to photograph portraits doesn't exactly apply. Beach pictures are especially challenging...the sun is bright, the sand is white and my beloved travel "compadre" always seems a bit impatient when I am experimenting with my settings to get the perfect shot. For me travel photography is all about capturing the details. Images that remind me of the sights, sounds, smells and even tastes of the trip...in other words pictures that play on my senses.
A couple of weeks ago, Cody and I traveled to Playa del Carmen, Mexico for the second time and had a fabulous trip. It was a chance to reconnect and escape from our hectic everyday life. Although we missed our precious little Hallie, a few days in paridise proved to be just what we needed.
