Hi, I'm Ian Plant and I've travelled halfway around the world to the beautiful island nation of Vanuatu to photograph Yassir volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the world and when I travel far I need to travel light. I like to bring along an all purpose general zoom like a 28-300mm that gives me a wide range of focal length options and allows me the flexibility I need to get the shots that I want. Here in Vanuatu I'm working with Tamron's 28-300mm lens and this gives me a really versatile zoom range, so when I'm up on the volcano rim looking down at the lava as it explodes out of the Earth, I can go wide, go up to 28mm and I can capture more of the landscape including the sky above the lava or I can zoom in a bit tighter and just do an intimate shot of the lava as it comes out of the ground. This lens is ideal as an all purpose travel lens, not only because of the extensive zoom range but also because the lens features vibration compensation, which allows me to shoot handheld even in low light and still et sharp images that way as I'm travelling around the landscape and certain features of the landscape catches my eye or maybe there are some interesting people who are walking by, I can react quickly and capture the action hand held knowing that I'm gonna get good shots. When I'm up shooting the volcano I'm gonna be working in low light or at night with my camera on a tripod and I'll be using long exposures between eight seconds and fifteen seconds long and the reason I wanna do that is as the magma flies in the air I want it to streak through the image frame during the long exposure to get a really nice creative effect. While doing this I'm gonna turn vibration compensation on my lens off because I don't want the lens gyroscope moving during the long exposure introducing vibration. The only time I'm gonna use vibration compensation is when I'm shooting hand held.
So when you're travelling far and you need to travel light, a versatile all in one zoom like a 28-300mm lens is the perfect travel lens for your kit. I'm Ian Plant and thanks for watching.
