Hi Everyone 

Today I am going to look at the subject of what certain professions do when they are on holiday.  As a professional event and conference photographer Edinburgh and Glasgow, I am often asked this question.  Well the answer is, I enjoy my holiday but I also keep taking photos of my family and of the landscape around me.  This is especially true for myself as a landscape and infrared photographer around Scotland.  I may, however travel a bit lighter and take photos a bit quicker than I normally would.  I also probably won’t use a tripod when I normally would but I think if you are in a different location, it’s an opportunity missed if you don’t take photos when you are away.  I also have made money from images taken as an infrared photographer in Scotland while on holiday.  It’s also good practice to photograph in a short space of time.  I became accustomed to this as a newspaper photographer working around East Lothian and Edinburgh, you had a very limited time to shoot and you had to do it quickly.  Also photographing with limited equipment ie a telephoto lens is good practice for landscape photographers in Scotland and it forces you to move into the right space to get the best result.  I also think people are relaxed on holiday and without the pressure, this can be a very good time to take some of your best shots.

So everyone, get out there with your camera when you are on holiday this year.  Here is a photo I took whilst on holiday at the Trossachs in Scotland, I converted it to infrared on my return.

Anyway, until next time.

Kind Regards

Colin
