Travel Photography Tips | Choosing The Right Lens
© 2012 Wazari Wazir | Travel Photographer | Dal Lake | Kashmir To be honest with you, actually there is no such things as the right lense, one size does not fits all. Talking about travel photography, most people travel for a different reason, some travel just to record their memories, some travel like they are doing unofficial unpaid assignment for National Geographic magazines where they carry tons of equipment.

Travel Photography | Once Upon a Time in Kashmir | Sonamarg in Winter
