Camera Gear For Antarctica
Going to Antarctic is a once in a lifetime experience and there is no way that we’re heading there without a full bag of camera equipment and electronics to capture every moment. With each trip we keep adding to our gear list and now we have gotten to the point where our electronics are definitely outweighing our clothes and other gear.
Ever Had a £2000 Phone Bill?
Have you ever had a £2000 phone bill? That was a message we saw on facebook from a fellow Mongol Rallier after returning to England from Mongolia.
Mobile Phone Activation in Bangkok
Setting up a mobile phone in Bangkok is easy. When entering a new country we buy a SIM card like True Move, and set up our cell phone. Our unlocked iPhone and a newly purchased SIM works perfectly for emails, international and local calls.
We Love our GPS on the Iphone
It one of those moments, the moment when we said, “How did we ever manage without this?” Thanks to our friend Bobby who strongly suggested that we buy a GPS for our trip through France to avoid toll roads, Dave set up the TomTom on our Iphone. For some reason we have resisted the GPS. We had been living in the Dark Ages.
iPhone Hook Up Hell in India
Bringing and unlocked iPhone to India seemed like a good idea at the time. We thought that if we couldn’t get to an Internet Café, we would at least be able to check our email. It is three weeks into our trip and we have finally managed to make our iPhone and Data Plan work. Here is what we had to go through to make our iPhone work in India.
Electronics while Traveling… A Burden or a Blessing??
“What the %#*! Electronics am I going to bring on this trip??” This is usually the first thing out of my mouth when I start thinking of what we are going to pack for our latest adventure. Deb is usually concerned over all of those non important things like Visa’s, Shots, Banking etc. But it is I who dares to ask this dreaded question that plagues every photographer before they jump on that plane and head to the next destination. Well maybe not everyone but me for sure. Technology changes so much I am always chomping at the bit for the latest greatest on the market. Unfortunately I am limited to a budget so it narrows down the choices. Like anyone I would love to spend 10,000 on the best gear as long as someone else is paying for it. But alas the funds must come from my coffers so money is an issue.
Video and Travel Blogs can be a Very Good Thing
When Dave and I first started traveling, we concentrated more on our videos and photos than anything else. We would make little 22 minute episodes to show our friends and families when we came home. We found a movie of each country explained our experiences more than anything and they could relate to our travels on a more intimate level.
5 Techniques for the Travel Photographer
When you travel to far away places you want to make sure that you bring back the best images that you can. Equipment is one aspect of achieving that, but technique goes hand in hand with it. The Digital camera has changed the way we view photography nowadays. It allows us to have more finite [...]
