Weekly Poll: What's the furthest you've travelled just to take photos?

[Dragan]

I had a long, difficult battle with cancer in 2006. For quite a long while we weren't sure if I was going to be around very long. One of the things I have always had on my "bucket list" was to have a family portrait shot on the Great Wall of China. Now I'm in Western Canada, almost directly opposite from the Wall, but last Novemeber my wife, all three kids and their respective spouses went to China, primarily to fulfill that goal.

I shoot most photos in home town. I don't have much money and time for traveling, Im a poor student

[austramerica]

It is really hard to say for me, too...as I have travelled to places farther than my own home country...I am an Australian btw and had taken photos at fly-ins because my husband and I am into airplanes and air shows...did I purposely went there to take photos, I have my camera with me all the time I go out and take photos when I feel like it...that was before I became a member of this group and doing some assignments...as I can...

[Canadian Mum]

I answered less than 100, although I did buy my camera before getting on a plain for a trip... so I guess I could have said more. Most of the time if I am on a photo journey, I got closer to 100 miles, including the trip there and back.

Don't know how many miles it is, but I took my family to Washington DC last summer. I had been up there a couple of years ago with a P&S camera and wanted to go back and try to get some better pics with my dSLR.

My kids are off on school trips next month, so I am taking my wife to the Texas Hill Country so she can antique and I am going to take pictures of the wild flowers along the way. I know that it is 4.5 hours by car, so it's going to be over 600 miles of driving before we get back.

Great pictures - glad your still around to share.

I've went from Charlotte, NC to Kauai, Hawaii to take some pictures, which is roughly 4600 miles. Lots of beautiful places over there.

[Reggie98]

I hitchhiked across Canada from Halifax to Vancouver (via Alaska) for three months in 2001, and followed it by going out to Japan for ten months - just taking photos. I had a Canon Powershot Pro90IS point-and-shoot and took about 40,000 photos. In Japan, I sold a CD of my photos to people I met as a way of funding my travels.

I also (mostly) hitched back from Japan to England in 1999 with a Pro70 camera and an IBM Thinkpad - nine months travel and 7,000 photos.

Now I take photos mostly in Cambridge, but recently travelled to Blackpool (about 200 miles) to take 4300 photos in 13 hours of ballroom dancing (one every 11.4 seconds on average) on an EOS 40D.

[MsGaia]

I stay relatively close to home, lots of photos in New Hampshire, Maine, New York City. However, I would love to plan a trip or cross-country drive to find the perfect shot.
