sometimes the beauty is also in the details - perhaps a photo of just one leaf on the green grass would be nice as well

Some decent shots...most shots look a tad under exposed- in a photography forum I'd like to see subjects like this shot under more interesting light conditions and with a bit more attention to ...

Me too. I leave my tripod in my room during the day and carry it around in the morning/evening when needed. Same with certain lenses.

tripadvisor is a GREAT resource for info - use it to determine where you want to go. View online galleries on flickr like mine: https://flic.kr/s/aHsjDsNYP5 Not all guides know what is of interest ...

I imagine airbnb takes somewhat of a percentage. i wonder how the owner gets paid. Not sure exactly how airbnb works or if Cuban nationals can have bank accounts that airbnb has access to. As a ...

Not only does it brew my coffee - the hand grip cuddles with the wife while I am up and out the door early.

My camera has a feature that enables you to know when the best possible light occurs and will help get me out of bed before sunrise for many of those instances

I doubt other people can make up your mind for you. This is all up to personal decision. I know a lot of people extol the virtues of traveling light and how that frees them up to experiences that a ...
