TAMRON 28-300mm

Travel and photography go hand in hand, and few understand this better than Joana Boukhabza and Eric Bournot, the passionate duo behind the blog DesFenetresSurLeMonde.com. Since 2015, the Marseille-born adventurers have been sharing their stunning photos and invaluable travel tips with the world. On their latest journey to Central America, they put the TAMRON 28-300mm F/4-7.1 Di III VC VXD to the test, capturing breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable moments. Here’s a glimpse into their experience with this versatile lens.

For Joana and Eric, photography is more than a hobby—it’s a way of life.

“Photography became a part of our daily routine from the moment we started traveling. At first, it was just about preserving memories, but it quickly evolved into a key aspect of our professional work,” they explain. “It’s not just about capturing a moment; it’s about immersing ourselves in it. Photography allows us to document our journey while also experiencing it more deeply.” This approach underlines their commitment to authenticity over perfection. “We aim to capture genuine moments. Traveling every day means we can’t wait for ideal weather or lighting conditions. It’s about embracing the raw and real beauty of our surroundings.”

Choosing the Right Moments

When it comes to deciding what to photograph, Joana and Eric emphasize balance. “The temptation is to photograph everything, but observation is crucial before clicking the shutter. That said, impulsivity has its charm too! Although our hard drives might disagree…”

Their advice? Let sincerity guide your lens. Capture what moves you, not just what seems “picture perfect.”

From volcanic vistas to vibrant wildlife, the TAMRON 28-300mm helped Joana and Eric create some of their most memorable images.
“One standout moment was photographing a sunset over Chimborazo volcano. With the lens, we could effortlessly switch from capturing the grandeur of the entire volcano to zooming in on the summit to highlight intricate details under changing light,” they share.

Another unforgettable experience took place in Mindo, where they found themselves surrounded by hummingbirds.

“The lens was a game-changer. Its wide zoom range let us capture sharp, dynamic shots of these fast-moving birds while maintaining a beautifully blurred background. The stabilization and ultra-fast autofocus made all the difference, ensuring we didn’t miss a single magical moment.”

Traveling light is essential for Joana and Eric, and the TAMRON 28-300mm met their needs perfectly.

“In Ecuador, where landscapes range from tropical forests to snow-capped peaks, this lens gave us incredible flexibility. We could seamlessly switch between wide-angle landscapes and close-up wildlife shots without changing gear,” they note.

The lens’ stabilization and precise autofocus were particularly valuable in challenging conditions.

“Whether battling high-altitude winds on a volcano or capturing low-light scenes in the rainforest, the TAMRON 28-300mm delivered sharp, high-quality images. It’s become a cornerstone of our travel kit.”
