See. Smile. Snap. Repeat; the best cameras and photography techniques to capture your journey 'round the globe.
You Can Take A Pretty Picture But You Can't Predict the Weather
We stand at the precipice of a world filled with more uncertainty then ever before. It's for that reason that is so imperative that we capture the peace, warmth and joy within as many beautiful fleeting moments as possible. For once it's gone it many never return. Only to be remembered by the stillness of a stolen glimpse that we locked away in a photo. What an honor that through today's technology we are able to capture any moment in time we deem worth celebrating in the snap or click of a button.

Before this competition, I don’t recall the last time I had written an article. I’m not a writer, but I do share my art through the result of what my camera produces! Pictures do supposedly say a 1000 words, right? I intentionally did not edit this picture at all, because I wanted to share the same natural, magical, and raw experience I witnessed with those who would come across it. Filters and edits may definitely enhance this picture, but if I had to add those edits- it would have been from a perspective of what I thought was best, and that is not the intention behind this captured picture.

It was late January when my friend asked me last minute to embark on this novel adventure with her, one that would require waking at 3:00 a.m. in order to be able to meet the requisite of connecting with the rest of our crew at the base of Mt. Washington, New Hampshire.

Today’s reality is tomorrow’s memory. Our planet holds such great beauty, which it generously displays for us to indulge in. This picture is that of a pristine ice cave deep in the heart of Vatnajökull, Iceland. The picture has been edited by increasing the contrast and slightly shifting the tone curve. In addition to that, I also shifted the blues towards teal and had a local adjustment in the sky to bring up the saturation and down the exposure for the sunset to really pop out. The intention behind the edit was to highlight the crystal blues from the magical glacier in the image which we don’t see every day, but also focus on the sunset which is so familiar to us.

Growing up in the South of England meant our summer holidays were spent in an area called the Jurassic Coast. Whilst I didn't appreciate it as a kid, it has since become one of my favourite places to visit. Majestic coastlines, quaint fishing villages and an abundance of wildlife. If you ever find yourself in the UK and want to get away from the cities, I cannot recommend the south coast enough. It really is a little world within itself.

It was a cold and blustery morning, waking up in a 1940’s Airstream on the banks of Hood Canal in Washington, USA. It was day one of our ten day wilderness adventure through the mountains and forests of the Pacific Northwest. We had planned out all the spots to visit, mountains to climb, sunsets to witness and breweries to taste. What we forgot to check, however, was the weather.

Getting Lost in the Alpine
One of my favorite ways to get outdoors and get my body moving is to go out for a hike. Sometimes that may be a day hike, other times that may be a multi-day overnight hike. Whatever the case, there is always some exertion required, but it always pays off when you're out in nature.

In January 2016, I and a friend decided to drive up to Quebec City from Vermont for the annual Winter Carnival, which has been an annual event since 1955.

Playful dust bunnies rolled around on the floor under the sofa as I reached under and tried to trap them with my broom, when I heard the phone ring. This was in the eighties, so cordless phones were the new big thing. Not wireless, not cellular (a smart phone would have been seen as straight up magic) but cordless, meaning that they still had to be near their base to work and if the power went out they went with it. One of the cool things about them though, was that you could wander around and do things while you talked without pulling the ever-tangling, extra-long phone cord into the next room with you to drag things off tables and catch on your favorite lamp. (I still miss that lamp.) The freedom to move around unencumbered was great but, inevitably when the call was done you just laid the phone down where you were and continued with what you were doing when it pulled you away to answer it. Thus, the phone was anywhere but where you were the next time it rang.

I took this photo while taking a tour of the Mayan temples of Chacchoben in Mexico. The tour guide spoke about the history of the Mayan temples and what they were used for. There were about five temples that have been found so far. There were some hills around us that he pointed out, which in fact were not hills, but have been speculated to be former Mayan ruins that have been buried and taken over by nature. Each area had its purpose, one area that we stood in was once a marketplace, and many of the other places were used for different social gatherings such as ritual sacrifices and other ceremonies. The location in the photo was where one of those social gathering was held. What fascinated me the most with this one location is that it shows how much mother nature has taken over what was once a civilization, since everywhere I looked there were trees reclaiming the land.

I am an extremely amateur photographer. Like all people today, I have thousands of images stored on hundreds of memory cards, HDDs, cloud accounts etc. Like most people I'm guessing, I'll probably never get around to looking at them again!
