Cruises are a great way to travel, but we often don’t consider the kinds of photographic opportunities you can get during the adventure. Jason is back from leading a photo tour on an Alaskan cruise, and we’ll talk about the experience and ways to get creative on your next vacation. We’ll also have a special bonus show this week where we’ll share images from the trip.
This week, we discuss a very colorful location shoot: Rick went to the Labor Day Liftoff hot air balloon festival in Colorado Springs. This annual event is a big draw, with over 75 balloon crews operating this year. We also got our hands on the Nikon 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 Z Nikkor lens. Jason offers his hands-on first look.
