All About Travel Photography By Ashok Dilwali

Photography as a subject has two distinct aspects, i.e., the ‘craft part’ and the ‘art part’. The craft part involves the technique of obtaining good and acceptable results. This used to be a significant handicap earlier, as one had to master the art of using cameras, which was acquired after much trial and error. There were no short cuts. Today, the craft part has been simplified immensely. All that is needed is to press the shutter, and the camera takes care of the intricacies of getting good images. If this were not so, many would have been deprived of photography. It also needs to be mentioned here that the art part remains as difficult today as it was then. Getting a pleasing image that would delight the eyes and heart of the viewer is as difficult today as it was earlier. The author begins by offering some valuable tips for taking better travel photographs. In the second part, some images are shown, and he talks about his travel experiences and gives photographic advice about why he shot them.
