Life Library of Photography. Travel Photography

Revised ed. — Time-Life Books, 1982. — 232 p. — (Life Library of Photography)The Life Library of Photography series consists of 17 volumes. The books cover all the main aspects of photography: technology and equipment; shooting methods; film processing and photo printing; history of photography; photography as an art form.All too often the traveling photographer, looking at his tour pictures back home, finds that the fond memories he had hoped to preserve on film have faded as rapidly as a winter vacationer's tan. He wishes he had been better at capturing that atmosphere, at evoking whatever it was that made the visited place so captivating at the time — in short, at bringing the travel experience back alive. The purpose of this volume is to help him do that.The traveler with the camera faces some special obstacles he does not have to cope with at home. He cannot carry as much equipment. He spends a great deal of time getting to his desti-
nation and an equal amount of time getting back. He may be frustrated by the fleeting opportunity, particularly when it is complicated by bad weather.
