The competition quality print is special. It has to meet certain standards. It is to be mounted on Foamex boards, which are high density and completely flat. They have to resist moisture. They cannot show surface texture or warp. Any professional NY Travel Photographer will agree they are worth the extra cost.

A print measures sixteen by twenty inches. The finish can be metallic, gloss, lustre or fine art. It requires as long as seventy-two hours for processing in a lab. It is to be delivered by a courier service.

Professionals, amateurs and first time photographers can all take good photos. Being in the right place to capture an event that may not take place again is all that is required. While the quality may not be optimal, the subject matter makes up for it.

When advertising photos are taken, the lighting can be perfect. However, with travel photographers the conditions may be excellent or terrible on any given day. The light may be less than ideal, but he will still capture a special scene that may never happen again.

At the amateur level, which often results in very excellent quality photos, this kind of photography is one of the foremost hobbies of today. Everyone who travels wants these memories captured to relive the experience. It is exciting for their friends and relatives who want to share the adventures vicariously.

The amateur should not carry a bulky and expensive camera on a trip. A smaller, less costly camera is lightweight and easy to carry. Most tourists are pleased with the results using one of these. For example, if he had to stop to change lenses on a more expensive model, he could miss the shot of the giraffes running across the veldt.

An expensive camera could be stolen and cause you to lose all your photos. It may be insured, but the photos are irreplaceable. It is far better to make sure you take those memories home in the photos of slightly lesser quality, than to risk having none to return home with.
