[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have a friend who gets to travel to many amazing places for work (Alaska, Hawaii, Venice, the Galapagos... the list goes on) and is interested in taking pictures of them, for obvious reasons. However, she's currently using a basic point-and-shoot and hasn't really put much thought into photography as an art (or skill, or anything more than seeing something pretty and taking a snapshot of it). Do any of you have any advice I can pass onto her for how she can improve? Landscape photography is not really my specialty, so I don't have any favorite photographers or books to point her toward, and I don't have a firm grasp on what the right sort of camera might be to use.
