Apply the Rule of the Thirds:

Rule of the Thirds is a very common photography rule, and while seasoned photographers can choose to ignore it, it can yield amazing results for beginners.

It is a simple, purposeful rule which can create a huge impact on the results of your travel photographs. According to the rule of the thirds, divide your picture in nine equal boxes. Place the subject along the square and lines. So, for instance, if you are capturing an image of a horizon, do not place it in the middle of the image. The entire philosophy behind the rule is to capture pictures as the natural vision sees them. It is definitely not a hard and fast rule, and one must always look at how the frame looks before applying this rule.
