I 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...
Best Photo Spots in United States - Page 2
Horse Shoe Bend, Million Dollar Highway
Million dollar highway considered one of the dangerous and narrow scenic bypass you could take in San Juan Mountains area. As I drove this area in the afternoon scouting for locations I found this area too interesting to not miss for sunset. I wanted to show how the road turns...
Swamis Meditation Gardens Cliffside
World class surfspot below, incredible southern California views from the cliffs, gardens, birds of paradise... epic.
Crater Lake
Crater lake is a brilliantly unique location, with the island volcano providing an unmissable focal point for photos. It's not hard to find an amazing location to photograph along the crater rim, although I found the best angle to be from south western corner, close to the volcanic cone protruding...
Route 66 Auto Graveyard
Rather than go to a specific location for a typical landscape shoot, I set out to find photo opportunities with no set agenda. My thought was to travel west on I-40 and explore as much of Route 66 (which parallels it mostly) with my cameras as I could. One of...
Route 66 in New Mexico
These pictures were taken between 1:00 pm and 7:30 pm in July. New Mexico is given to sudden storms, high winds, and the hot sun. A heavy duty tripod is a must if you are taking landscapes. Unseasonably large volumes of rain this year have made the desert fairly green,...
Shenandoah National Park
The incredibly popular Shenandoah National Park. If you're just driving through, Skyline Drive has many outlooks where you can pull over and marvel at the wonders of the Appalachian Mountains. If you're hiking, there are many trails for both novices and the experienced. And of course lots of opportunity to...
Smithsonian National Zoo
This is probably the closest you'll get to wildlife that is not bear or deer in the DMV area. I took all of these photos with a 70-200 mm f/4L lens and even with the lens wide open, I still found myself having to shoot above ISO 800. If you...
Great Falls National Park (Virginia Side)
This is a very popular location for visitors from all over the world. Consequently, it is extremely crowded. On weekends, the wait to get into the parking lot may be an hour or so. If you must visit on a weekend, I think the best time to visit is around...
Fishing Bridge
We spend ages checking light and setting up or we hang around for hours waiting for "the light", but this particular morning I set up my camera and tripod looked up and saw the image attached. I took two shots but the first one was the one. My camera is...
