Everyone can take snapshots - it's when you wish to make them extraordinary - you need to learn. Here are some tips from the veterans of travel photography to help you capturing the 'wow' factor in your photography-

 Sometimes children can make you feel more comfortable while you are taking snaps than the adults. They are enthusiastic and can run around freely to help you as assistants. You can reward them by letting them look through the view finder or run a slide show later on the LCD screen.

 For capturing folks in a group, either know some story/joke that will make everyone laugh or have someone who can do it for you. This can give you plenty of moments to click and capture everyone in lively mood.

 For portraits, concentrate on taking subject in the picture whole heartedly. This will give you a stronger image and colors.

 Choose your background wisely. Settings that are either too busy or have dark patches of color can distract you or the subject.

 While clicking, always focus on eyes because if they aren't sharp, the image will fail.

 For wide-angle shots, choose locations that are less crowded. Having too many people walking in between can spoil an otherwise good picture.

 For informal images of groups encountered on the road, photographing them as you find them works well. If there are many people, take plenty of shots as the chances of everyone looking good at the same time are less.

 To take picture of your friend or traveling companion, look out for situations on the road where they can be shown occupied with something of interest.

 If you are taking photographs of strangers who have agreed to pose for them, offer the courtesy of asking if they'll be interested in receiving a print later.

Photography as an art evolves with time and we are sure these useful tips in travel photography will help you in learning the finer aspects of it.
