As the sun sets over Gadling and our "Wild West" day, I couldn't let the day go by without featuring <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xphaqtor/3313760057/">this beautiful shot shared by xphaqtor in our Gadling Flickr pool</a>.  Nothing like a sunset, the Colorado scenery and a hardened cowboy to close a day on the range, is there?<br />
<br />
If you've got some great travel shots you'd love to share, be sure to upload them to the <a href="http://flickr.com/groups/gadling/pool/">Gadling pool</a> on Flickr.

So it seems a little bit of a retrospective on the past year is in order, because seriously, we have talked about <em>a lot</em> here on the column. And so, with the help of my fellow writers here at Gadling (as well as some of the amazing photographers who share their craft with us in the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/gadling/pool/">Gadling Flickr pool</a>), I thought we could multitask: I asked some of the Gadlingers what they like to photograph when they're traveling, and as a bit of inspiration, I thought I would feature some of the best our Gadling Flickr pool has to offer to illustrate their points. And while we're at it, I'll provide some links to some of the more popular posts of the past year.<br />
<br />
So, ready?

As we close today's "Wild America" theme, I couldn't resist sharing <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasephotos/496978418/">this great shot of American buffalo shot and shared by JasonBechtel</a>.  The image was captured at <a href="http://thewilds.org/">The Wilds</a>, a wildlife conservation area in southern Ohio.  True personification of "home on the range," I think!<br />

I've mentioned before that one of my favourite pastimes while traveling is eating. Oh my heavens, how I love to eat. There's just nothing like being in a completely foreign land, trying a whole new cuisine. It's like an adventure in every little bite.<br />
<br />
For this reason, it sort of stuns me that <a href="http://www.gadling.com/2009/08/27/through-the-gadling-lens-5-photography-subjects-that-are-the-sa/">while I've mentioned that food is one of those great iconic subjects for photography purposes</a>, I haven't written yet about how to shoot images in a restaurant, or at the table where your hosts are sharing their meal with you. (And besides, here in the west, we're pretty much heading into prime gather-round-the-table-holiday mode, so the time has come, methinks.) So this week, I thought we'd take a look at ways to capture your culinary travel experience as effectively as possible.<p><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2009/10/29/through-the-gadling-lens-7-tips-for-photographs-around-the-mea/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Through the Gadling Lens:  7 tips for photographs around the meal</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2009/10/29/through-the-gadling-lens-7-tips-for-photographs-around-the-mea/">Through the Gadling Lens:  7 tips for photographs around the meal</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:00:00 EST.

I just got back this week from a quick trip to a spa. <br />
<br />
It sounds luxurious, doesn't it? Well, actually, it wasn't. Don't get me wrong -- the facilities were lovely; however, I didn't actually go to relax. I went along with a friend, Beth, who was giving a talk there, and while she was working I planned on working on several book projects that have looming deadlines ahead. When I wasn't writing, I was taking as many photos as possible for these same projects.<br />
<br />
Beth has been a very kind fan of my work, and has flatteringly used the word "soulful" to describe my images. One afternoon, she asked if she could follow me around with her camera, to have an impromptu photo lesson. As we set off, she said, "Okay, so show me how to take photographs like you do."<br />
<br />
"You want to know the trick?" I asked, smiling.<br />
<br />
"Absolutely."<br />
<br />

I'm loving <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bgilbert/4012212161/in/pool-gadling">this shot captured by Bryson Gilbert</a>, however -- the light and colour so perfectly convey the mood of a fun night out in Toronto.

Personally, climate change and taking care of the environment is an issue that I've thought about a whole lot since becoming a parent -- and to be honest, my daughter has become pretty passionate about it herself ("Mom, you forgot to turn off your computer! You have to save the environment!" is not an uncommon admonishment from her 5-year-old mouth). While I'm not perfect, we do try to do what we can in our home to help reduce our carbon footprint, and when we travel, I'm careful to be mindful of making eco-friendly choices -- still, I figure we could all do with a bit of inspiration. And so today, I thought I'd post some of the finest shots I've found in our <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/gadling/pool/">Gadling Flickr pool</a> that feature this big blue marble we call home. Because this is a seriously beautiful planet that we get to live on.<br /><br />On with the show.<p><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2009/10/15/through-the-gadling-lens-inspirational-nature-shots-from-our-ga/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Through the Gadling Lens: inspirational nature shots from our Gadling Flickr pool</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2009/10/15/through-the-gadling-lens-inspirational-nature-shots-from-our-ga/">Through the Gadling Lens: inspirational nature shots from our Gadling Flickr pool</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Thu, 15 Oct 2009 11:00:00 EST.

I do have a couple of questions that I hope you may be able to help me with please. I am bouncing-off-the-walls excited to be traveling to New York City for my first (and likely only) visit next week. Unfortunately my only free time will be one late afternoon / evening in Midtown. I am most interested in capturing the details of well known landmarks, especially the art deco skyscrapers and Rockefeller Center, with what little natural sunlight I will have (i.e. low angle between full sunlight and when street lights start coming on with darkness), especially if clouds are present. I have my gorilla tripod already packed but expect the crowded sidewalks to make set-up difficult and time consuming and want to try and cover as much ground as possible. I have read and re-read your columns on night and cave photography and will be putting those tips to work of course, but wonder if there is anything more I can do to give myself a better chance at capturing the unique, but distant, details of these structures during twilight.<br /><br /> Secondly, can you tell me how to both achieve and avoid the "starburst" effect of individual lights at night while using a tripod, specifically skyscrapers at night (i.e. Empire State Building) and neon lights (i.e. Radio City Music Hall, Times Square). Is it more a function of aperture or exposure? I am practicing with available lights but the tallest building in my hometown is all of three stories and there's not much neon to practice on unfortunately.<br /><br /> Thank you again for your kind reply and best wishes.</em> <font color="#888888"><br /><br /></font>Well, Jason, congrats on your first trip to NYC! You've certainly given me some tough questions -- I did a bit of research to try to answer them, and with a little help from the Gadling Flickr pool (not to mention a good friend), I thought I'd share what I came up with. Hope this helps, Jason.<p><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2009/10/08/through-the-gadling-lens-shooting-cities-at-twilight/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Through the Gadling Lens: shooting cities at twilight</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2009/10/08/through-the-gadling-lens-shooting-cities-at-twilight/">Through the Gadling Lens: shooting cities at twilight</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Thu, 08 Oct 2009 11:00:00 EST.

I do love an iconic silhouette, and this one of the Statue of Liberty, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/7715112@N07/3956435912/in/pool-gadling">shot and shared by othernel</a>, is a classic. There's no mistaking this landmark, is there? Really beautifully done.<br />

<br />
I'd love to, but I can't.<br />
<br />
For some reason, I'm really, really horrid when it comes to shooting skies. Oh, I can manage to get a good sunset photo here and there, and occasionally my blue skies appear shockingly blue, but the truth is that for the most part, I get by with a little help from Photoshop -- bump up the contrast here, deepen a hue there, you know how it goes. My husband, on the other hand, is masterful at shooting sky shots -- the image you see to the left was taken by him this past weekend. And that image, by the way, is completely unretouched, straight out of the camera.<br />
<br />
He kills me with his sky-capturing ways.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I thought this week we could drool over the sky photo porn that currently graces our Gadling Flickr pool, for some inspiration as to how to shoot. This time, however, I'm sitting where you are -- looking for any clues as to how to make my sky photographs that much better.<br />
<br />

I love a good sign of fall, and this one is pretty spectacular. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/49329997@N00/3962333786/in/pool-gadling">Shot at a beach in Naoshima, Japan by narinnr</a>, you have to love the beautiful blues behind the wildly decorated pumpkin. Looks like fall is just around the corner!<br />

Over the last year or so, <a href="http://www.chookooloonks.com/projects/the-water-project/">I've become really intrigued with photographing water</a> -- I love how organically it moves, I love all the different forms it takes. And since almost 71% of our planet is covered in the stuff, it makes sense that it would sometimes find its way into our travel photographs.<br />
<br />
So this week, with some help from the amazing shots in the Gadling Flickr pool (with a few of my own images tossed in for good measure), I thought we could talk about some of the ways that water can be the focal point of our photographs. I suspect we're not even going to make a dent in all the ways there are to photograph water, but let's give it a go, shall we?<p><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2009/09/24/through-the-gadling-lens-water-water-everywhere/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Through the Gadling Lens:  water, water everywhere</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2009/09/24/through-the-gadling-lens-water-water-everywhere/">Through the Gadling Lens:  water, water everywhere</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Thu, 24 Sep 2009 11:00:00 EST.

It's a stellar example of a photograph that exploits the light -- not only are the streetlights perfectly exposed, but the photographer really takes advantage of the reflection of the light on the walls and the wet cobblestone streets.

Well, as much as one can look at someone else on instant-messaging.<br /> <br /> "Karen," he said patiently, "people travel with their kids. Besides, there are children all over the world. Children make great subjects. You should share how you capture kids on camera."<br /> <br /> Well, duh. He's right, of course. So this week, with the additional help of some fantastic images in our <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/gadling/pool/">Gadling Flickr pool</a>, we'll talk about how to capture the essence and innocence of childhood while traveling. A couple of points to remember, before we begin:<br /><br />1. Be sure to ask permission before you snap any photos, particularly if the children are with their parents or other adults; and<br /><br />2. Remember the rules about shooting strangers in general (<a href="http://www.gadling.com/2009/04/16/through-the-gadling-lens-taking-photographs-of-strangers/">you can see some general guidelines here</a>).<br /><br />And so now, let's get to it:<p><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2009/09/17/through-the-gadling-lens-photographing-the-children-of-the-wor/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Through the Gadling Lens:  photographing the children of the world</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2009/09/17/through-the-gadling-lens-photographing-the-children-of-the-wor/">Through the Gadling Lens:  photographing the children of the world</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:00:00 EST.

So it seems only fitting that for today's Photo of the Day, we feature<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/atbaker/3916549480/in/pool-gadling"> this strange photograph of Mr. Sneffles, shared by AlphaTangoBravo/Adam Baker in our Gadling Flickr Pool</a>.  Says the photographer:<br /><br />"Mr. Sneffels wasn't happy up on the summit due to the weather. He kept telling me I should stop taking pictures and go down.<br /> <br /> It started snowing about 10 min after this shot. Mr. Sneffels is smarter than he looks."<br /><br />Okay, then.<br /><br />If you've got some great travel shots you'd love to share (weird or not), be sure to upload them to the <a href="http://flickr.com/groups/gadling/pool/">Gadling pool</a> on Flickr.

This makes me happy: while spring has those beautiful blue skies, winter is certainly pretty with all its whiteness and, let's face it, summer gets all the really great press, in my opinion, autumn is really the most photogenic season of the year. There are just so many moods of autumn, you know? And so, this week, I thought I'd share some inspiration, with thanks to the people who have shared their images in the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/gadling/pool/">Gadling Flickr pool</a>, on how to capture this beautiful season.<p><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2009/09/10/through-the-gadling-lens-photographing-autumn/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Through the Gadling Lens:  photographing autumn</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2009/09/10/through-the-gadling-lens-photographing-autumn/">Through the Gadling Lens:  photographing autumn</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Thu, 10 Sep 2009 11:00:00 EST.

And so, in honour of this day, I couldn't help but share <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertrex365/3895381521/in/pool-gadling">this vibrant shot shared by robertrex365</a> in the Gadling flickr pool -- it just seems to capture the mood of the waning season.  Well done.<br /><br />If you've got some great travel shots you'd love to share, be sure to upload them to the <a href="http://flickr.com/groups/gadling/pool/">Gadling pool</a> on Flickr. We might just pick one as our <a href="http://www.gadling.com/category/photo-of-the-day/">Photo of the Day</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2009/09/07/photo-of-the-day-9-07-09/">Photo of the day 9.07.09</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Mon, 07 Sep 2009 19:00:00 EST.
