Here is the answery bit – this is what I do to try to take great travel photos

• Research the area

• Look at other people's photos of a location

• When you get there find things to photograph that no one else is publishing

• Check the weather

• Check the timings of things

• Get the headline photos

• Explore, explore, explore

• Then look a bit deeper

• Get different things from the headlines

• Look for details

• Try unusual viewpoints and angles

• Remember you don’t have to travel to take travel photos

• Be prepared

• Gear choices

• Memory card management

• Put yourself in the frame!

• Try some new stuff

• Enjoy yourself

• Share what you have created
