Working with a mix of lighting to get natural, evenly exposed photos takes practice and a little ...

January 12, 2017 01:26 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MBWhen you get home from your holidays, within the first week there are three important things I strongly recommend you do with your travel photo and video files.

I discuss on the podcast and traveloguecreator.com these points to improve your odds of getting a great image. What is the message? Where is the main point of inte...
