Lenses for Travel Photography - Part VII (Lenses I use and recommend for travel and why)
This week concludes my seven part series about lenses for travel photography, I discuss the lenses I use and recommend for travel. The series is primarily meant for SLR and DSLR camera users, who can attach a variety of lenses to their cameras to support their creativity, and suit the needs of their photographic opportunities.
Currently, I primarily use a Nikon D200 for travel, which has a DX size sensor. I may be moving to an FX sensor (full size sensor) based Nikon camera later this year. For this article I’ll have two sets of recommendations for travelers, one for full size sensor based DSLRs and SLRs, and one for the smaller DX/APS-C size sensor based DSLRs.

Photography Exhibition: The Museum of Photographic Arts, San Diego - Seeing Beauty
The Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego mounts eight to ten major exhibitions per year that represent the history of the medium, contemporary works, photojournalism, and varied photographic processes. This is, in my opinion, the outstanding museum concentrating on the photographic arts in the US.
Their current exhibition, Seeing Beauty, is a fabulous exhibit of photographs of some of the greatest of the world’s photographers.
This exhibition will run through January 23, 2011

Lenses for Travel Photography - Part VI (Special lenses and lens accessories)
This week in Part VI of my seven part series about lenses for travel photography, I discuss special lenses and lens accessories to consider when choosing lenses for travel. The series is primarily meant for SLR and DSLR camera users, who can attach a variety of lenses to their cameras to support their creativity, and suit the needs of their photographic opportunities.
It’s important to note there are many more lenses and lens accessories available for your consideration than I will discuss below, but the ones I have chosen have utility during travel, and are carried by some travelers, according to their needs.
Three lenses possible lenses for travelers include: fisheye, perspective control, and teleconverter.

Photography Exhibition: Florida Museum of Photographic Arts - Portraits of the Artists and Other Selections
The Florida Museum of Photographic Arts holds some of the best photographic exhibitions in the southern United States. Their current exhibition, Portraits of the Artists and Other Selections from the Collection of Robert and Elizabeth Sanchez looks like an amazing exhibition of a variety of photographic art from all over the world. While I haven’t seen it yet, I am aware of the Sanchez collection and recommend this exhibit.
The exhibition runs through May 15, 2010
