I’ve been retired for a few years, and since retirement have put aside £1000 each year to fund a photographic holiday in America; specifically, either N.America and Canada; or S. America and Mexico. I think to do both combos would have been a bit of a stretch time wise.
Due to the political situation in America I have decided to restrict my trip to either Canada or Mexico, and was wondering if any members have spent time in either of those countries on extended photographic trips?
I will be taking a 5D SR and probably a Bronica GS along with a small range of primes for both; my main interest is landscape / seascape…and interesting urban environments (which would have been a big part of my American photography). I’m looking to come home with a couple of dozen reasonably diverse images to turn into large prints for my walls here.
Ease of travel and comfort / value for money are important considerations…but so it having a memorable one month holiday experience. All advice appreciated....bit urgent now as here in the UK this is the time of year to grab travel bargains.
You should consider posting this in the Trip Advice…forum. You might get more feedback there as this is the probably the least active forum on the site.

I live in Canada in the Rocky Mountains, not to far from Banff. I have travelled over western Canada and British Columbia extensively. I am not sure what part of Canada you want to visit, but I am happy to give you any advise I can, and answer your questions. I'll send you a PM with my contact details.
Quick thanks to the people who advised me....in the end I decided I'd give America a miss....just doesn't sound a happy place to visit. Pity.....never been there but seen so many American TV shows and movies I would probably know my way around half the country!!
Probably end up in Scotland this year....never been there either!
