Advice could be given as to the best areas to photograph, what times of day to visit, maybe where to stay, camera security needed and what kit to take (basically the kind of stuff Jason was asking about in the other thread). Just yesterday i went to the Alhambra in Granada, somewhere that is only around the corner from where i live, but i hadn't a clue as to the light levels inside or whether i could shoot with flash or not....fortunately i took everything including an essential polarizer (i should have done more research). If i had thought to have posted somebody on the forums would have been i have no doubt and they could have informed me as to the likely conditions i would have faced.
Anyway, just an idea!

I take your point. but if you go too far along those lines you are in danger of following in others foot steps it seems to me better to take a fresh approach.I suppose its the difference between a package tour and the adventure of doing your own thing without too much preconception.There is excitement in encountering the unknown.our lives are coming to be too controlled lets break out a bit.
