The island is bursting with photo locations. <strong>Whether you want to photograph landscapes, people, animals, nature or macro,<\/strong> I'm sure you'll find something. Now I would like to briefly describe from my subjective layer how I prepare for my trips.<\/p>\n<p>In the travel planning, photography should already be a decisive if not <strong>the decisive role<\/strong> play. If photography is the main driver of your trip, this will almost automatically be the case. I can only recommend to join in Madagascar a <strong>good and experienced tour guide<\/strong> who is well acquainted with the area knows. For example, it makes perfect sense to <strong>Baobab<\/strong><strong> Avenue in Morondava<\/strong> not only during the day but also at sunset or sunrise. To realize this requires competent guidance and good planning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"container bg_white no_padding post_details\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<div class=\"vertical-align home_bg border blog_post_marg\">\n<div class=\"col-md-4\">\n<div class=\"home_bg text-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.urlaub-auf-madagaskar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_3103.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"home_left_img wp-image-4086\" src=\"https:\/\/www.urlaub-auf-madagaskar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_3103-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Baobab Morondava\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-8 home_content_div\">\n<p>Equipment is an important issue for many photographers when traveling. First of all, every photographer should be aware of his <strong>main field of photographic work<\/strong> be clear. The equipment of a landscape photographer is very different from that of an ornithologist who is looking for birds. If the photographer wants to be equally prepared for all areas, he has to <strong>Compromises <\/strong>be ready. Here, of course, plays the <strong>Backpack weight<\/strong> a big role. In Madagascar, the photo luggage has to be carried on the back over hills and through forests for a few hours. My own backpack with its 13kg has often driven the beads of sweat on my forehead. <strong>However, the results of my photo trip made me forget the effort<\/strong>. In view of this, the camera, lenses and flashes should be matched to each other. I can hardly give general advice here. My experience is that every photographer finds his own way, which also corresponds to his own photographic style. A few small tips regarding the additional equipment that I usually have with me, but I would like to give.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"post_ul\">\n<li><strong>Sufficient batteries<\/strong> for camera and flashes to be able to bridge 3-4 days without a power outlet<\/li>\n<li><strong>External data backup<\/strong> in an image tank or a laptop<\/li>\n<li>A good travel suitable <strong>Tripod<\/strong> such as the Manfrotto 055XPROB<\/li>\n<li>One <strong>Bean bag<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Old transparent <strong>Shower caps<\/strong> (often lie in hotels)<\/li>\n<li>Enough <strong>CF\/SD memory cards<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Polarizing filter \/ Gray filter \/ Remote shutter release<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"container bg_white no_padding post_details\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<div class=\"vertical-align home_bg border blog_post_marg\">\n<div class=\"col-md-4\">\n<div class=\"home_bg text-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.urlaub-auf-madagaskar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Karte2-422.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"home_left_img wp-image-3082\" src=\"https:\/\/www.urlaub-auf-madagaskar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Karte2-422-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Photography in Madagascar\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.urlaub-auf-madagaskar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Karte2-422-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.urlaub-auf-madagaskar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Karte2-422.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-8 home_content_div\">\n<p>With the weight of the accessories must, of course, the <strong>Limitation of hand luggage<\/strong> of the individual airlines must be observed. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urlaub-auf-madagaskar.com\/en\/flights-from-europe-to-madagascar\/\">Flight connections from Europe<\/a> to Madagascar are far fewer than one might think. At this point, I can highly recommend the connection from Paris (CDG). The Air France offers on all flights of these routes the possibility of 1 piece of hand luggage + 1 additional item with a total of 12kg to take into the cabin. Together with the 2x 23kg main luggage, this is probably sufficient for every hobby to semi-professional photographer. <strong>Should you need sliders\/rails\/swiveling gallows or similar, you will have to book excess baggage anyway<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Once you arrive in Madagascar, you should adapt to the local customs and conditions, just like in any other country on our planet. We are guests in Madagascar and especially as photographers we should approach the people slowly, gently and with a lot of <strong>Sensitivity<\/strong> approach. This is especially important to keep in mind when photographing people. Ask yourself how you would react if a complete stranger photographed you on the street and then just kept walking. Rely on the <strong>Contact our top trained guides<\/strong>, these certainly know how to negotiate, talk and ask for a photo with the locals.<\/p>\n<p>Special locations, which are the crucial cornerstones in the planning of a photo trip to Madagascar, can be found in Madagascar in almost inexhaustible quantity. These cornerstones are only the main locations of your trip.  You will <strong>anytime<\/strong> at many different points <strong>unique and extraordinary motifs<\/strong> find.
