This week: I’m looking back to my trip to Berlin in October, and the matter of being a photographer when sight-seeing.
I have to admit, I’m something of a reluctant tourist. Don’t get me wrong, I love visiting new places and seeing new sites… but the idea of somehow documenting a trip just for the sake of it strikes me as a bit strange.
How do you strike the balance between feeling a need to record a visit and enjoying the sites without the compulsion to bring the camera up to your eye every five minutes?
Some quick links to things mentioned in this show:
- Manfrotto tripods and support
- Brandenburg Gate
- Reichstag building
- Canon Powershot G9
- Nikon D3 SLR
- Fujifilm X100 digital rangefinder
