Travel Photo of the day! Travel photos from all over the world
Wine? Check. Beach? Check. Campfire? Triple check!
Now we’re not fire building experts, but this one kept us toasty until the wine was all gone!
Taken under the stars during our extended stay in beautiful Tasmania – Eloise had to stay still long enough for a 40 second exposure.
This is a guest post from Hans at Travel Photographs!
Machu Picchu is one of the most magical places I was able to visit in my lifetime, although it’s quite hard to get there. You will have to fly to Cuzco first, and then continue your journey by train towards the town of Aguas Calientes. There are no roads that lead to this ‘base camp’ of Machu Picchu!
After spending a night at a hostel there, I woke up at 5am and took the shuttle bus to get on top of the mountain to access this famous sight. You should definitely get there as early as possible, as it gets quite crowded at noon (when day trips from Cuzco arrive). I even managed to get one of the few tickets to climb ‘Huyana Picchu‘, the big mountain in the back of the photo.
As the altitude is at more than 8.000 feet, it’s quite exhausting to get to the top – but the view is so worth it! When I went there in the morning, the clouds were just disappearing from the valley and the awesome view on Machu Picchu was revealed – an experience of a lifetime. I’ve spent a total of six days in Peru and can only recommend travelling to this beautiful country!

This beautiful long exposure travel photo was taken at Avoca beach during an attempted camping trip a few hours north of Sydney in the Central Coast area!
I say ‘attempted’ because we drove all the way there to find that there was literally zero places to camp! (It was a public holiday..)
Either way, we still got to see the incredible Australian night sky, some shooting stars and a few satellites – something not really possible in Sydney!
I think this shot could be made better if the exposure was shorter and I bumped up to ISO 200 to the fact that the stars are starting to ‘trail’ – not to be confused with a blurry shot!
Camera Settings : 89sec | f/1.4 | ISO 100
During a bike ride around the tribal villages of Luang Nam Tha in north west Laos, the oldest looking tractor I’ve ever seen came past us chugging out diesel fumes and carrying this guy home in style!
It’s obviously hard work chopping down trees all day!
