To all

Is there any interest in a travel section on UHH? I approached admin some time ago about it but life got in the way. I'd consider rekindling the interest if there was someone who wanted to co-admin the thing.

I envision a section that has tips, where to photography, what to take, etc...

Thoughts?

There's not much to "admin" in these types of sections. The main effort is to define the purpose of the section, in writing. There's likely not any controversy inherent to a travel section that would require policing the posts / members. Encourage "travel" images too, in the posted content, not just where to go / what to take questions.

I would subscribe to a "Travel Section" if there was one. Quite often people ask questions regarding travel to a certain location and there will be a response that has information about something I did not know existed or was available. One such recent post by UTMike was about Dead Horse Point and the yurts that are available there for camping ( https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-711364-1.html ) which I was not aware of before reading his post.

Sure, people may still ask questions like this in the Main Photography section, and will probably continue to do so. But, a travel section could be worthwhile by having that info located in a section that is dedicated to travel.

I think so much depends on each traveler's interests. What some people like and shot may be way different.
As for what lenses to take, again, that depends on their style of shooting also. People should really get to know their lenses and what they provide in terms of coverage.
They should have some idea of what may be at the destination like wide vistas, narrow streets, mountains, valleys, and such. If not, research it. There's a ton of information on the net about places, including many Google images, albeit mainly from main roads, but a lot of people have posted images from places not on the main road. Also one can simply Google "what to see in <city>". Smaller towns may be a bit shy on information on the net though. Then one can figure out what they want to see/photograph.
And of course for the occasional "trip", one could always ask here under "General Photography Discussion". I don't see a ton of that. It seems to go in spurts. Many people here display images of their travels in The Gallery.

I would love a travel section! Of course, I love to travel. If Hurricane Ian gets the hell out of the way, I am off again.

It would have to be divided into sections: foreign or domestic; Europe or Asia; east coast or west coast, etc.

Definitely interested. It's always good to hear about what is available and the tips to light, timing and accommodations. Makes trip planning easier and inspires people to get out more.

In my humble opinion, there are enough sections already.

One category should be sufficient.

This information is already presented. However, it is scattered around almost as background information. Very few people present photographs that are NOT travel or travel related. Hardly anyone shoots (and posts their work) in studios anymore. A large percentage of pictures here were shot "away" from home or "out my back door." Your idea has great potential but difficulties also. Is a bird in flight taken in the Everglades posted in "Travel" or in "B-I-F? You have raised a flag, now see if it flies or not. Good luck with the concept.
