[Leica] IMG- Istambul

Bernardo,
It helps to have a wife to take the record shots ;-) 

Seriously, I think digital has been a great help and hindrance here. You can 
take all the images you like, quickly (LR) sort them into trash, record of 
trip shot, and better than snap. Then trash the trash, work on the better 
images till you have a nice series to print/hang on the wall/give to 
friends/ and make a nice gallery of images for the internet. Now you can put 
them all back in order, add some text/captions, and create a disc to 
remember the "whole" trip. I now use the digital camera to capture sign 
posts to remember where I was, and tourist plaques with all those 
interesting details you would otherwise forget. I try to take these images 
in jpeg, or convert them later to save disc space, working with everything 
else in RAW. 

The down side is that you spend lots of time at the end of day 
sorting/editing images rather than drinking at the pub

Cheers

Hello
  Thanks to all for your comments
  It?s very important to me to ?hear? your thoughts about my photos.
  I must agree with almost all the tough ones. I travel a lot and one of my 
big pleasures is arriving home and ?develop? the photos. Some I like, some I 
hate and after all analysed I just select a couple of my favourite. 
   
  ...but... the problem is that normally they are not representative of the 
places were I?ve been...  they could be well composed, have nice colours but 
they are not representative of a certain region, city or country....  
   
  ...on the other way I don?t like postcard type photos. Yes they are 
representative of some places but I just don?t look twice to them...  I will 
probably never print them and probably will never hang them in a wall or 
offer them to a friend....
   
  so... advises please....  how can I arrive with home and have good 
representative photos of the places were I?ve been?
