I came across these tips for travel photography earlier today. They're pretty good and worth sharing. Check it out. These tips are from What Digital Camera (www.whatdigitalcamera.com)
* Get up early so you can catch good light and skip out on all the crowds. This is always part of my plan, but I
really enjoy sleeping. I end up settling for the sunset a lot of times, which is also a great time for good light.
* Give yourself some choices and bring a couple lenses along with you for the trip (depending on what you plan on shooting). If you have a fixed lens on your DSLR and don't feel like carrying a lot around with you, think about bringing along your point-and-shoot camera. This way you may be able to capture some pictures at different focal lengths.
* Don't shoot everything with a wide angle, go in close to your subject for interesting details.
* Don't forget to take vertical pictures. Framing vertically can completely change the composure and feel of your picture.
* Don't forget to look up. There are plenty of interesting shots to be taken above or below eye level.
* Remember your aperture and shutter speed. Check out your manual if you don't know how to use them. If you've lost your manual you can almost always type in the name of your camera along with "manual PDF" and download it.
* You may want to use your flash during the day to remove shadows.
* Capture people. I love landscapes/cityscapes, but you really capture the feel of the place you are visiting with portraits.
* Stick around for sunset. Also, dusk is a great time to take night pictures.
