Digital Travel Photography - Trip Preparation - Look For Festivals Before You Travel

SUMMARY: Festivals and parades offer great photo opportunities of people in traditional attire.

Are your travel dates open-ended? If so, before you set exact dates for your trip, check out the Internet, books, or newspapers to see if festivals or parades will be occurring within a specific time frame. These are a great way to capture the "local color" of an area, as people may be dresses in traditional garb. Don't just look overseas; consider festivals and parades inside neighborhoods of large cities such as Chinatown, Japantown, Little Italy, and Greektown.
