Vacation Photography
Copyright (c) 2008 Tom Jackson
You have worked hard all year, and now it is time to take a vacation and recuperate. This is a time that many people look forward to and prepare for most of the year. It is a lot of work to prepare for properly, plane tickets, hotel accommodations, car rentals, clothes to pack, pets to take care of, making sure the other family members and friends can contact you in an emergency etc. But one of the items sometimes left to last, is photography equipment to record your vacation. Do you want to take along a lot of equipment, still cameras and lenses, accessories, plus the video camera to record all the action on your trip.
Most vacationers will take along a still camera or a video camera, not all will want the hassle of dealing with both systems. Some will take both, and do their best to contend with the hassle of switching between cameras. Some scenes are better suited to being photographed with a video camera, obviously as with things that are moving, ,such as a parade or at the races, while others are better suited to a still camera, such as landscapes and cityscapes.
You need to think a little differently in order to take advantage of each camera systems features. Video experts and movie makers alike, will tell you that the best way to create an interesting video is to shoot a series of short clips, not one long boring continuous video. Video needs to be interesting, and we humans get bored very quickly, so make your videos short and to the point.
When you take photos with a digital still camera, you usually have a little time time to ensure you have the composition and lighting you want to create a stunning photo. Digital still cameras also offer a much higher resolution so you can make enlargements that you can hang on the wall for all to see. The digital DSLR is a very versatile system.
Following is a quick summary of the benefits a DSLR will provide for you. The first, and some believe the most important feature, is that you look through the viewfinder and you see exactly what the camera sees. In other words, the light from the subject enters the lens of the camera, and this is the image you see. At the instant you press the shutter release to take the photos, the camera re-directs the light onto the digital sensor to take the photo. In normal daylight, this happens so quickly, it is barely noticeable. In dim light conditions, you will not be able to see through the camera until the exposure is finished. With the new generation of cameras, they employ a system called live view, where the image you are photographing is shown on the rear LCD screen. So you can compose and see the image as you take the photo.
Now, in the old days, and I am talking about a few months ago (things happen so fast in this digital age), you had to compromise on taking a video or a still camera or both on your vacation. But today, you have a new choice. The major still DSLR camera manufacturers are now combining the best of both worlds into the one camera body. Now you can take high resolution still photos, and HD quality video with sound, on the newest range of DSLR cameras. This is exciting news, as now you really do have the best of both worlds, a HD video camera and a high resolution digital still camera, all in one unit.
And by using the DSLR body as a HD video recorder, you have the option of using all the accessories you would normally only be able to use on the DSLR but now also with video. All those optional lenses will enable you to take some amazing videos, and by adding filters and other accessories, this opens up a whole new genre of available effects.
With the advent of GPS tagging of your images, you will always have the exact location and time you took each image. This technology will tag every picture you take with GPS data so that you will always know exactly where you were when you took each photo. With some kinds of photography, such as bird photography, where you may have taken a photo of a particular bird, you will always be able to find your way back to the spot where you took the photo by referring to the GPS data.

What should I do with my camera while kayaking?
I will be visiting Lake Powell (in Utah) over the summer. I want to go kayaking on the lake, but I don’t know what to do with my (DSLR $500) camera. I’ll be between hotels, so I can’t leave it in my room. Any suggestions? I don’t want to leave it in my rental car (theft, heat).
I don’t think some people read the details – I will be ‘between hotels’, traveling from Kanab to Kayenta, so I can’t keep it at my hotel.
You can call the Page chamber of commerce at 928-645-2741 for ideas.
The Holiday Inn Express at 928-645-9000
and the Marriot at 928-645-5000 have locker safes you can rent.
Marriot has a good lunch too…
Why don’t you take your camera with you? The slot canyons and the water are very photogenic. Pros use dry bags on the Colorado River rapids all of the time. They work well.
Addendum:
I understood your question. You can still keep your equipment at the hotels listed above without being a guest. They are located in Page. Also, you are welcome to drop off your stuff at my place while you are Kayaking if you want.
