    Michaela’s Favourite Photographs: #3 Island Sunset

    June 13, 2023 /

    Klong Nin, Koh Lanta, Thailand, 2020. Of all the many wonderful sunsets we’ve witnessed across the world, the island of Koh Lanta produced probably the best. Michaela has not enhanced the colour on this photo in the slightest, this is unedited – it really was this colourful. As we sat on the sands watching the sky move through its amazing palette, Michaela captured this stunning moment.

    Michaela’s Favourite Photographs: #1 The Lost Tomato

    June 10, 2023 /

    Marrakech, 2015. This one was a stroke of luck, Michaela had no idea that she had caught this tomato in mid-flight until we looked at the photo much later. It was intended to be a shot of the contrasting types of transport ahead of us as we drove back to the airport – only to capture the moment when one solitary tomato made its bid for freedom.

    The Doors & Shops Of Tunis 

    April 25, 2022 /

    Doors and shops. Now there’s two things which hold a fascination for many travellers. Doors because they just do: there’s something irresistibly photogenic about them. Shops possibly because they are a familiar concept whose distortion by different environment is such a tangible measure of a different culture. Tunis has delivered so much on both fronts that we thought we’d interrupt our commentaries with this gallery. Doors first….. And on to the shops….. And to finish, a few mosaics from the walls of the Medina….

    Photography by Michaela

    July 22, 2019 /

    Travel and photography are inseparable joys. The stimulation of experiencing different cultures, different cuisine, taking yourself out of your comfort zone, are the very essence of travel. Photography is just one of the ways you capture those moments, those memories. But follow this link http://www.thehungrytravellers.blog/photography-by-michaela/ to see another dimension as our travel photos are skilfully turned into stunning paintings by artist Norma K Read.
