Why Just 1 Zoom Lens Is Perfect For Travel

Here's another great tutorial from our friends COOPH who, this time, not only have some great tips to share but they're demonstrating how you don't need a huge amount of gear to capture great shots. 

The above video tutorial is all about travel photography as the team recently went on a long weekend in Vienna, Austria, armed just with the Tamron 18-400mm zoom lens and a city full of photographic potential. 

Topics covered in the tutorial are: 

1. Experimenting with zoom burst
2. Using the full zoom of a superzoom to focus on distant subjects
3. Going the opposite way and shooting wide to get more in the frame
4. Capturing landscapes with foreground interest and lead-in lines
5. Looking for the small details 
6. Photographing people 
7. Playing around with apertures 

We can vouch that a one-lens challenge is a lot of fun as it's something we've actually explored previously on site. Plus, who wants to be weighed-down with kit when you're exploring a new place. We also have a top list that counts down our superzoom travel lens recommendations that you might want to peruse.
