Po Pin Chau

January 5, 2018 By Kurt Helmer No Comments

Po-Pin-Chau-3-webThis area is a UNESCO Global Geopark and has much more hiking opportunities and potential photography opportunities than just Po Pin Chau (island). There are some interesting land formations as you will see in one of the photos of the island that can also be found near the taxi stop. Before heading to the Island you could walk to the Sea Cave and take a couple photos. To get there you will need to walk down to and across the…

Payne’s Prairie

August 9, 2017 By Brent Carr No Comments

Paynes_Prairie_stormThere are hundreds of alligators and birds in the preserve. Preserve is not open until 08:00 AM. More scenic after rains as the alligators will be more visible on the bank due to a higher water table; too low and the dike reveals more alligators but with a muddy backdrop.

Big Shoals State Park

July 30, 2017 By Brent Carr 1 Comment

Big_Shoals_nw_3-5466_miniHike about 1 1/2 miles along the “Palmetto Trail” that runs about 15 feet above river (at least this day). The Suwannee River is on the left, and there are several spots along this trail where you can descend the bank to get to the river bed.

Travel Photography in Addis Ababa

July 22, 2017 By jordi estrampes No Comments

DSCF0539Ethiopia is a fantastic country to visit and take pictures of people and landscapes. There are many street photography opportunities in Addis Ababa, with people, cars and buildings creating great opportunities for unique photographs. People are very friendly here and the food is amazing. The below images were taken during my trip to Addis Ababa:

Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive

July 16, 2017 By Robert Strickland 4 Comments

Lake Apopka Wildlife DriveThe Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive is a one-way 11-mile drive on narrow former farm roads built on top of levees. This is amazing habitat in restoration along the North shore of Lake Apopka. “In restoration” does not convey the fantastic breadth of wildlife, especially birds, you will see here. There can be anything from a River Otter to giant alligator awaiting you on this tour. There are birds galore as the Audubon’s groups come to count the various birds.

Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park

June 12, 2017 By Brian Patterson No Comments

Denny-McCann-2-of-2Cades Cove has a magnetic effect on millions of annual visitors to the Smokies. The wide open fields are evidence of a once thriving community that was relocated at the inception of the park. Fields of hay are still grown each year while the deer, bear and other natural residents roam freely while the visitors drive slowly around it perimeter by bicycle or automobile. The visitor center at the halfway point includes small store, a gristmill and several outbuilding that…

Historic Brooklyn

June 9, 2017 By Brian Patterson No Comments

Brooklyn-0416-15One of many brownstones I shot in the Spring of 2016 to create a visual catalog of the unique architectural styles found in the oldest downtown section of Brooklyn. From Greco-Roman to Arabesque, the variety of details are infinite within the facades of these miniature American castles. Tulip gardens are popular in Brooklyn and add a strong color component to the endless sandstone designs. The dogwoods offer their brief splash until the greenery of the oaks and maples take over…

Pulpit Rock

January 5, 2017 By Penne Ebbage No Comments

Pulpit-Rock-1-of-3Any time is good to photograph this location – however it is not easily accessible at high tide. Sunrise and sunset seem to be the favoured times for photographers to visit when the tide is low, enabling long exposures over the rocky platform.

Angelo Rotta Bank

November 22, 2016 By Judit No Comments

EU_HU_ParliamentFor a frontal shot of the Houses of Parliament, the best spot is just across the river (Batthyany tér underground stop on Line 2, or Halasz utca if you’re looking for a parking spot). There’s a promenade all along the Buda side, so you have a lot of options to find the most interesting angle. It’s worth taking at least one full frontal shot – incidentally, with a 35mm lens the facade fits right into the frame. There’s a lot…

Black Creek Trail

October 2, 2016 By William Van Essen No Comments

imageThis spot is an absolutely amazing spit to go as a beginner to help hone in your skills and to get some good practice taking photos of nature. This spot is also excellent for more professional photographers to get some beautiful photos of Florida wilderness.

Lake Louise

August 28, 2016 By Joe Winifred No Comments

LakeLouise_2048We were there during Summer, and so the sunsets were pretty late (10:00pm). Golden hours are better to shoot and dont forget, this is one of most photographed locations in Alberta. So come in early and take the spot; This place is pretty close to the Fairmont hotel;

Pemaquid Point Lighthouse

February 22, 2016 By Brian McKillip No Comments

Pemaquid Point LighthouseAfter visiting Pemaquid Point Light every year the summer when I finally received a quality camera I knew amazing photos would be coming. Sunrise is one of the best times to take photos in this location because it adds a dramatic background to the rocks and light house in the foreground. To get sunrise photos you have to get up rather early because summer sunrises are around 5am. All seasons would be good for this location as it just changes…

Gastown

December 9, 2015 By Jay Cheng No Comments

Processed with VSCOcam with m5 presetBorn in 1867, Gastown is now home to many coffee shops, souvenir stores, restaurants and nightspots. You can suddenly get a different buzz once you enter this area as the architecture here delivers a different feeling from the rest of the city. Narrowed streets and stone pavement. All the historical buildings are well-preserved. I find the night times here most attractive. When the night comes, the trees are all lit up and sometimes when it’s drizzling(which seems to happen quite…

Cascade Falls

December 9, 2015 By Niran Almog 2 Comments

IMG_3933-Edit-EditThis is a piece of nature so you can bring whatever you want (multiple cameras, tripods, etc.). There are multiple vantage points of the falls, which can be seen by climbing in/on/around rocks, trees, etc. The Falls are beautiful any time of year, however Autumn and snow on the ground prove to be the most picturesque.

Road to Milford Sound

December 9, 2015 By Albert Oriol 1 Comment

IMG_5905_smallThe entire trip from Te Anau to Milford Sound is beautiful. This photo was taken pretty early in the morning in August meaning that it’s winter in New Zealand. The first half of the trip to Milford was dry and the second half was a sort of snowy drizzle, although the road had been cleared of snow before we arrived.

Crystal Lake

October 15, 2015 By John Daniel No Comments

Crystal LakeThe lake is beautiful for both Sunrise and Sunset to get a nice reflection of the red mountains. The water is still early in the morning as my shot. I used Tripod on 24mm f/8 and about a sec of exposure. You have to walk 50 feet in the trail to get this composition on a wide angle. If you stay close to the road then you get different perspective of this area too. Just be careful and watch out…

Monuments at the National Mall

October 15, 2015 By Daniel Chung No Comments

national-mall-monuments-1-2I know this may be a redundant post but just wanted to throw in my photos of the National Mall. I don’t think you can ever get enough of the National Mall and all of its glories. Tripods are allowed in all areas of the National Mall except for the White House. As a matter of fact you can’t even get anywhere near the White House these days due to some embarrassing debacles by the Secret Services in the last…

War Memorials

October 15, 2015 By Daniel Chung 1 Comment

war-memorial-1I love coming down to the war memorials late at night because you can really feel the gravitas. Tripod is a must, especially if you’re doing any sort of night photography. Please be respectful when setting up to take a shot. I’ve seen too many photographers exhibit an unbelievable level of rudeness (e.g. stepping on the flowers laid in front of the monuments just to get better composition).

Stourhead

October 15, 2015 By Christopher Wheeler No Comments

stourhead-2-3There is a fine eighteenth-century house here, but the fame of Stourhead does not rest on it at all but on the landscape made by succeeding generations of the house’s owners. No man-made landscape in England is more beautiful; indeed, it is a place of European not solely English importance.
