Best Photo Spots in United States - Page 10

Mystic Seaport Museum

This place is a museum related to boats and how they were constructed a few centuries ago. When you go there, you can discuss with people working as in the 17th or 18th century (printer, carpenter, pharmacist, etc...). We spend 4 or 5 hours there. I would bring a portrait...

Plimoth Plantation

As everywhere you have to buy tickets, avoid the crowded hours of summer. It is like a museum where you have a village of native americans with home and crops; next to it you have replicas of the houses build by the pilgrims. You can talk to people living as...

Stata Center (MIT)

This building was designed by the famous architect Gehry. It is home of several research labs (such as computer science). You can freely walk around, and you can also enter the building. Usually when it is forbidden for tourists to go somewhere, you must use a badge and you won't...

Manhattan Bridge

This is quite an iconic shot, and perhaps has been repeated often over the years. Some of the old photographs are perhaps the most fascinating as you can see the difference in the built spaces over time. Although the bridge is not the more iconic Brooklyn Bridge (which is right...

Caney Creek Falls

Three photographers from Montgomery decided we want to take pictures of waterfalls. A quick Google search for 'falls in Alabama' resulted in many recommendations to visit the Sipsey Wilderness in Northwest Alabama - a three hour one way drive for us. A member of our group contacted the local hiking...

Nu’uanu Pali

The Pali lookout is a historically significant place on the island of Oahu. This is the place that the Battle of Nuʻuanu was fought bringing Oahu under the reign of King Kamehameha I. Be prepared for strong winds as the trade winds are funneled through this natural funnel. Hold onto...

Dugger Creek Falls

This shot was taken at 4:24pm. It is so covered with forest that anytime would be good to get this shot, maybe high noon would be best? We visited the Smokey Mountains in May to beat the crowds that happen after school lets out. (more…)

Multnomah Falls

Multnomah Falls is fed by rainwater and snowmelt, making it a year-round tourist attraction. Most people come here during the day to enjoy the scenic view, especially the photogenic foot-crossing the span of the second drop of the falls, the Benson Bridge. The bridge is only a quarter mile hike...

Willis / Sears Tower

The Sears Tower, or the Willis Tower as it is called these days, is the tallest building in Chicago. It is a very common location for photographers to visit in Chicago. Photos are allowed, as far as I know, as is tripod use. The building is so often photographed that...

High Peaks Trail

Pinnacles National Park (previously a National Monument) became the youngest National Park of United States. This is now the closest National Park to the SF Bay area and is a must visit for hikers, nature lovers and photographers. I first hiked the High Peaks Loop trail back in April, 2011....
