One well informed photographer is so much more than two. Most of the time when preparing a trip, I try to find as much information in advance, ranging from maps to photo locations to timetables. This whole website gives you some inspiration for your possible future trips. In this section specifically I’ll gradually add some interesting resources that I base myself upon when going on a trip.
Please let me know if any of the links are outdated, or if you have new addidtions to this list.
