Rainforests are quite interesting places to photograph, but they do break many of the rules of photography which I've discussed in previous blog entries. For example, due to the nature of the rainforest, a distant vantage point photograph would result in a glob of green foliage with not much to reference regarding scale or detail.
Instead, opt for closer subjects, such as colourful tropical flowers or a small waterfall.
Lighting in rainforests also pose other problems. It's usually rather dim undearneath all those large trees. You will have to find creative photographic techniques to help eliminate what you can of that terrible dim lighting.
Also, the tropical rainforests are also very humid, so you must make sure to take extra care of your photographic equipment. Plastic bags for everything. Those little silica gel packets to absorb moisture inside them.
Of course, for yourself, you really should also bring rain gear, an umbrella, and rubber hiking boots.
So, now that you know how to handle photographing the rainforests during your vacation, let's get that vacation booked at www.kingarthur.myttn.com today!
