Fodor’s: Take Travel Photos Like a Pro

by Staff Writer

Fodor's Logo

Fodor’s has published travel books and guides for years and years and they have always been a big help for harried travelers looking for quick directions and tips on great destinations.

Their online presence at www.fodors.com duplicated this helpfulness to travelers, who of course invariably carry that ubiquitous camera. And to help these travelers take better pictures while they’re at it, Fodor’s has made available an online guide to taking good photographs.

Their “Focus on Photography� was created with the assistance of author and photographer Jeff Wignall, and it provides nearly 100 easy-to-follow tips, with accompanying photos, covering every aspect of travel photography.

So if you are a traveling shutterbug, go see “How to Take Travel Pictures Like a Pro�. It’s an easy read; just browsing through it makes one feel like a better photographer already. Me, I particularly liked the lesson on composition, “Taking Pictures Through Frames.� Love it.
