About Barbara Weibel

Barbara Weibel After years of working 70 hours a week at jobs I detested, I felt like the proverbial "hole in the donut" - solid on the outside, but empty on the inside. Searching for meaning in my life, I abandoned my successful but unsatisfying career and set out on a six-month solo backpacking trip around the world to pursue my true passions of travel, writing, and photography. My blog features stories about the destinations I visit, people I meet, the crazy things...Read more here....

    Barbara, your night shots are great! Do you have a tripod or just set your camera on something? Also, do you take several shots and cull out all but the best one? With digital, photography is a whole lot different now. Do you travel with just a couple memory chips and up load frequently for saving them onto a cloud site?

    Will you be heading back to Nepal soon or are you going to do spring in Europe?

    • Barbara Weibel says:

      Hi Steve: I shoot almost everything hand-held, because I have a very steady hand. I do take lots of shots and get rid f the bad ones afterward – the beauty of digital photography. I use just two memory cards, then upload to the laptop each night and to the cloud whenever I have a fast wifi connection. I’m planning to go back to Nepal in the fall this year.

  • Barbara, my daughter, a junior at UC Berkeley, is studying abroad in Seville for six months. I hope I am able to meet her in Europe while she is there. Great night shot!

      Hi Nancy. Your daughter is one lucky young lady. I can’t think of a much better place for a student exchange. Fingers crossed that you get to visit her while she’s there – you’ll love Seville, and there are a couple other travel bloggers who base there.

    Great shot!!!

  • Great Shot, The color of the picture supports the theme. Simply amazing…

    I loved Sevilla when I was there in 2000, but I can hardly remember anything about it now! Gorgeous photo, reminds me why I need to get back there.
