Travel Photography in Japan People from across the globe come to explore Japan’s cherished history as well as its renowned modern cities. Earlier this spring I had the opportunity to visit Japan for one week with a group of friends. I knew that I would have the chance to create many unique images during my trip, and I tried to plan accordingly. Travel photography is a great way to capture memories of your trip abroad. Before embarking on your voyage it is helpful to plan out the destinations you want to see and pack your camera gear accordingly; do not bring all of your equipment unless you are staying for an extended period of time. The traveling photographer must also remember to balance photography with other aspects of the trip, like eating good food and relaxing in a beautiful park. With a basic plan and the right expectations you can walk away from your next trip with a camera full of memories.
