Spontaneity and original content are equally important to the effectiveness of a photograph — something well-traveled photographers can attest to. Sometimes a photographer is capable of capturing the most magnificent shots of their lives on a whim. Without warning, something spectacular is caught! There are plenty of examples of these types of breathtaking photographs in this year's National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest. <img src="http://inapcache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/blogs/bigpicture/ngtravelercontest_062212/bp1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> SPONTANEOUS MOMENTS - Marrakech Traveler: It was mid-morning and he must have wanted to ride into the light. I was shooting for the ABC TV show Born to Explore when I snapped this photo.

Always impatient to know the current location, and how much time it would take to get to the destination. Somehow knowing that would make me feel better. On a recent trip on a train early morning I was taking some photos and there was this kid. He was peeping back every now and then and every time the train stopped he was looking at the boards. Once he saw the camera in my hand, he got curious but was not waiting for me to click. It was worth the wait and tries. I love how it just reminds me of my childhood travels.

In the back streets of Havana, one who has yet to learn of the country’s history, shows her innocence at play.

They were eating fallen cherry blossom petals, peacefully. Suddenly strong wind blew out and cherry blossom petals were started to fall on the deer. It is like a shower of falling cherry blossom petals. It is called "Hana Fubuki" in Japanese, literally means flower snowstorm.

Caught this well-dressed lady trying to cross the street in a torrential downpour.

I grabbed my camera and started shooting. To get an interesting angle, I went under the glass awning and shot upward.

I was fortunate to watch as fast moving low hanging clouds swept through the city buildings during late afternoon. A cloud swirled around the Trump Tower for a very brief moment for me to capture two frames. This is one of the two.

On 4800 meters above sea level the mountain releases gas everyday from 5am till 7am. The gas is hot but not dangerous. It’s a beautiful view in the middle of a desert. There is always a lot of travelers stopping and checking out because the place is included on the Salar de Uyuni tour.
