Better Travel Photography #3 - Repetition - over and over again

Do your travel photographs look just like everyone else’s?

If you wonder why you lug your digital SLR half way around the world and still come home with postcard images, it's time to revisit the way you photograph your travels. Here is part 3 in my new series of Better Travel Photography - a guide to getting great travel photos that don't look like everyone else's..

Here's today's tip - Look for repeated elements
When you're photographing in tourist locations, look for repeated elements and focus on capturing them.

This can be as simple as a row of street lights or lights on buildings.

Our eyes love to see repeating elements and anything that you can find three or four of is a great topic for a photo.
