National Geographic Destinations, We’ve captured them too!
We thought it would be fun for this Photo Story to compare some of our photo’s to those of National Geographic. We tried to choose photo’s that were places we had been before and had a similar subject matter. In doing this it was a great learning experience.
Just spending the time browsing through the amazing photo’s at National Geographic and seeing different perspectives and compositions really inspires. So I hope these photo’s inspire everyone to go out there and take in the beauty that this world has to offer.
After all National Geographic’s tag line is “Inspiring people to care about the Planet”.

Dang it, you’re a good photographer Dave! Why don’t you lead a photography trip to teach us amateurs?
.-= Mariellen Ward´s last blog ..Photo of the Week- Naga Sadhu =-.
Gorgeous collection of images and nice to compare yourself to the best!
Wow, Dave! You actually put National Geographic to shame in most of these instances. Have you tried to sell some of your photos to them? I especially love that one of the Taj Mahal.
.-= Gray´s last blog ..Norwegian Epic- An Adult Playground =-.
Neat idea! I like your Taj Mahal better
.-= Cam´s last blog ..Photo of the Week- Ayutthaya- Thailand =-.
Wow! This is a really neat idea for a photo essay. And, if I’m being honest, I think I prefer your photos over NatGeo’s in most instances! Fantastic.
.-= Amanda´s last blog ..Thursday Traveler- Adventurous Kate McCulley =-.
Dave’s photography is so awesome!! Next time you should do a post and make us guess which is NatGeo and which is his! I bet we couldn’t tell
I am guilty of photo copying… I have a lot of pictures of places my wife and I have gone and specificaly seeked out “the spot” where the famous picture was taken.
Love the first Taj picture, great angle!
I TOTALLY agree with Mariellen – Dave should lead a photography trip! And you really should submit some photos to NG – I’m sure they’d publish them!
.-= Trisha´s last blog ..PR-Blogger Relations Manifesto =-.
Serious talent. I know someone that can service your travel photography tour when you are ready to create one.
Brilliant photos!! It would have been difficult indeed to guess which photos were from National Geographic!
.-= Earl´s last blog ..Living Abroad For Less Than 1000 Per Month =-.
Cool comparison idea and amazing pictures to inspire!
.-= Migration Mark´s last blog ..Carnivorous Meat Platter in Montevideo =-.

Those are stunning shots that stack up so well alongside the National Geographic ones!
Wow!! I love your pictures better in most instance. I think Dave needs to do a photo workshop at next TBEX!
.-= Amy @ The Q Family´s last blog ..Fun Things to Do with Kids in Huntsville- Alabama =-.
Great work as always Dave.
I know someone who started off taking “vacation pictures” and later got a contract from National Geographic, so it’s totally possible.
.-= Jennifer Barry´s last blog ..Stranger in His Own Land- Part 2 =-.
Great photographs! I like the Taj Mahal and the White Desert the best.
OMG! Your photos are amazing! You should have entered our competition last month on Grantourismo. You could have won a holiday stay. You *must* come and enter our contests – we hold them every month and the first prize could get you 10 nights accom if you choose the property carefully. Hope to see you over there!
.-= lara dunston´s last blog ..A Balinese Royal Cremation Ceremony =-.
Beautiful pictures you got there!
.-= Michael´s last blog ..Eating The Worlds Most Dangerous Vindaloo =-.
Dave.. excellent photos.. I think that yours actually may capture a better essence of the culture which is displayed in the India photo. Very well done
.-= Marcello´s last blog ..Quebec Sightseeing-Festival of laughs =-.
I love it. You’re photos are better than Nat Geo’s. Fun post
.-= Trans-Americas Journey´s last blog ..Las Guacamayas Scarlet Macaws – Photo of the Day =-.
Thanks for the compliment. It was just fun to see that we have been to a lot of the places that National Geographic has been too.
Amazing pictures!!! the shots of Banff make me miss home… I’ll be back in September though!!!!
.-= Brendan van Son´s last blog ..Fun Fotography on the Salt Flats =-.
These are great shots! Some are even better than the Nat Geo ones!
Amazing pictures Dave!!!
Both National Geographic’s & your pics are beautiful, but I love your perspective better (on all of them):)
Keep on dazzling us & the great work. Both you & Deb keep us wanting more.
Wow. Great photos! Nothing beats National Geographic – thoes people know how to inspire but you really nailed it. Nice work. I like how you showcased two different perspectives on the same thing. I’d love to see more of this kind of thing since your already such a great photographer.
Wow, Dave’s Toledo picture looks much better. Great job!
.-= Slava´s last blog ..Holiday rentals in Greece =-.
Thanks Slava. We happened upon this view as the sun was going down. Luckily we rented a car so could cruise around to find different viewpoints of Toledo. Otherwise we may have stayed right in town and not even have noticed that we could go across the river for this terrific shot.
This is a such a clever idea. I almost wish that we had the opportunity to guess which was which – your photos are so beautiful that I would have guessed wrong in almost every comparison. Great work! (We have got to get a better camera and some better photo skills!)
.-= Tandem World´s last blog ..Nutrition – Fitness and Travel =-.
OMG! You take such amazing photos! These are incredible. We really need to learn some tips from you.
.-= Caz Makepeace´s last blog ..Travel Photo- Caz Horse Riding- Bryce Canyon- Utah =-.
There are simply no words…
.-= Andi´s last blog ..Guest Post- My Favorite Photo China =-.
I have to say I think yours look far better! If you’d have done a blindfold test on me I would have assumed yours were the National Geographic’s!
.-= Pommie Travels´s last blog ..Review- My Eat Pray Love =-.
Such great photos! I especially like Banff and Denali National Park!
beyond incredibly impressive
.-= Michael Hodson´s last blog ..How-to- StumbleUpon to Drive Website Traffic =-.
*swoon*
I loved Toledo, Spain. So many things to take pictures of! This makes me want a new camera so badly. :X Beautiful pictures!
.-= Erica´s last blog ..Progress Report- Nov 2010 =-.
Really impressed with the white desert photo, that’s a tough shot!
.-= ayngelina´s last blog ..Boring Museums in Bogota =-.
Such a great idea for a post. Fantastic photos!
Great pictures! I have a question though: how do you get them to be so sharp when published in your blog? My pics always loose sharpness as soon as I hit the “publish” button.
.-= Federico´s last blog ..Planning a Road Trip in Australia =-.
HI Federico. that is strange, it shouldn’t happen as far as we know. What resolution do you save them as. We save ours as 150 DPI
Stunning! Speechless! Unusual for me!
.-= Margo´s last blog ..A Colorful Grey Day in Amsterdam =-.
Thanks Margo!
I like your pics better! Great photos.
.-= LeslieTravel´s last blog ..2010 NY Comic Con- Meet the artists inspired by comic books and fantasy games =-.
Thanks Leslie. It was pretty cool to find similar pictures to ours when browsing National Geographic photographs. They do take incredible photos and it was nice to see that we have similar taste in composition.
Great photos!!
.-= Christy @ Ordinary Traveler´s last blog ..Big Sunday – A Healthy Dose of Fear =-.
