I started this website on Christmas Day last year, purely because I finally had enough time to get a site up and running. It’s already been through a facelift since then, and I hope you all like the new design more. My goal was to post a new travel photo every day of the year. If you follow me regularly you’ll know that it went well for a while, but I started to miss an occasional post, and have been really lazy in the lead up to Christmas!
Since starting the site I’ve posted a total of 304 photos, so 61 short. I’m making it my New Years resolution to hit 365 next year, with a post every day. I can announce that in order to achieve this goal I’ll be spending the first three weeks of this year in Southern Africa again, starting off in Cape Town. I’m not doing a lot of planning for this trip, as I’ll be going with a couple of locals. I’ve been informed today that potential plans include swimming with whale sharks off Mozambique, visiting the Kruger, and a couple days in Malawi. I’m going to enjoy getting to travel and just be told what to do rather than have to figure it out for myself this time!
On top of that trip, I’ve been fortunate enough to negotiate a week off a month, starting in March. So, I’ll be able to visit ten different locations to add to the website. I’m not sure where I’ll be going yet, but Cuba is high on my list, as is a return to Iceland. I’d also like to photograph Angkor Wat in Cambodia. That would be a long trip for a week, but I think it may be worth it. Red rock country in the USA has a strong potential, as does a few days in the Everglades.
I’ve decided to follow today’s photo with what I consider my best shots from 2012, so scroll down and take a look.
Today’s Photo: On the Road, Iceland
This shot was taken in Iceland’s East-fjords. This day we were rushing. We had a long way to go and a tendency to take twice as long as we should to get anywhere. So, my clever travel partner figured out how much time the drive would be, where we’d want to stop for extended time periods, and what was left for impromptu stops for pictures. She had three different timers running and all sorts of alarms. As a result, I was shooting handheld to keep each stop to a minimum. It was bright enough that I didn’t need a tripod to ensure sharp images, and I could align my various exposures in Photoshop. Still though, this spray and pray approach has resulted in a LOT of rejected photos. We didn’t reach our destination when we’d planned, but I’m sure we’d probably still be trying to get there now if not for the strict timer system.

hello there and thank you for your info – I have certainly picked up anything new from right here.
I did however expertise a few technical issues using this website, since I experienced to reload
the web site lots of times previous to I could get it to load properly.
I had been wondering if your web hosting is OK? Not that I’m complaining,
but slow loading instances times will often affect your placement in google and can damage your quality score if ads and marketing with Adwords.
Anyway I am adding this RSS to my e-mail and can look out for much more of
your respective exciting content. Make sure you update this again very
soon.
I look forward to all the new photos from Africa and around the world. I considered captioning them with their locations but ran out of time. I’ve got a lot of waiting around on my way to Africa so I’ll try to add their locations for you. These are all excellent photos, but it would be nice to know where they were all taken. Can’t wait to travel the world through the eyes of your camera lens.
