Here is The Traveling Professor's 1-minute guide for simple tips for taking good travel photos.
A Big, Clunky Camera is NOT Necessary for Amateur Photographers: I used to have one of those big bulky "professional" cameras but I found it a hassle to carry around, so I wound up leaving it in the hotel most of the time. Then I bought a small, compact Canon Power Shot model that easily fit into my pocket and I found myself clicking away. Nowadays I am even using my iPhone more and more as the technology evolves to put great features in a phone that is small and compact.
Take As Many Shots As You Can: Even the pros take tons of photos before they find one they like. Get a monster-sized memory card (at least 64gb) and click away. For example, at Giverny (the home of Monet) anyone can be a good photographer. I will take 7-10 shots of the same subject hoping I can get 1 good photograph.
Put a Person in Your Shot: 95% of the time, a travel photograph looks better when there is a person in it.
Avoid the Panoramic Shots: A basic of travel photography is to always have an element in the foreground and in the background.
