Editor’s Note – DL Cade is the Editor in Chief for the popular photo sharing community 500px, where he runs the rapidly growing 500px ISO blog.
With a constantly evolving collection of over 50 million photos by 5+ million photographers at his disposal, Cade shares tips, tutorials, photo stories, photographer spotlights and more from one of the most vibrant photo communities on Earth.
Each Friday, Cade and Resource Travel Editor In Chief Michael Bonocore share their favorite travel photos. Check out Bonocore’s selections on iso.500px.com.
I feel somehow better about this collection of 10 travel shots than I have about several of the last Top 10 lists I’ve sent over to Resource Travel. Not that those weren’t great, but I always struggle when my picks are too landscape heavy.
Adding that human element is, I think, one of the key things that differentiates a travel image more often than not. You feel like a human presence is there: travel. A great landscape image needs no humanity in it, just the human pressing the shutter.
Alas, I’ve digressed: I hope you enjoy this tour of the most beautiful travel images uploaded to 500px this week, and remember: if you want to submit a photo for next week’s list or possibly end up on the list Michael publishes on the 500px ISO blog each week, upload your favorite travel photo to 500px and tag it with #ResourceTravel500px.
