My Bad Travel Photo: A Bird’s Arse, Foz de Iguacu
Posted by The Working Traveller on February 15th, 2012
As we demonstrated in a recent MBTP, good photographs can sometimes be made by getting the angle just right. Taking a photograph of the subject from above can result in a great image while the same subject shot from a lower angle can result in a poor one, and vice versa. But whatever the angle you choose to get that perfect photo it is safe to say pointing the camera lens up at a bird’s bum is not the best one.
My Bad Travel Photo: Shot From a Hill, Salta
Posted by The Working Traveller on February 8th, 2012
Salta is an attractive city of colonial streets, palm trees and statues surrounded by mountains. I often like to climb hills and buildings to get an overview of a city and we did just that. Due to some fear of heights issues from Deirdre we ignored the perfectly good gondola service and schlepped up step by step to take this crappy picture.
Thanks to Wandering Earl for the idea behind this series. If you want to submit a bad travel photo please feel free to email us at payawaytravels (at) gmail (dot) com
My Bad Travel Photo: Elephant Ear, Ko Samui
Posted by The Working Traveller on January 25th, 2012
The first time I saw an elephant outside of an enclosure I was incompetently riding around Ko Samui on a motorbike. This was my second time on a bike. Though encouraged I hadn’t crashed into a stationary milk float this time I found working down the gears difficult and needed a runway longer than that required by a 747 to come to a halt.
The thing about elephants is they are quite big. Despite plenty of warning from first sighting the animal in the distance to actually stopping I still perhaps got a tad too close.
