Best Photo Spots in United States - Page 5

Sandy Stream Pond, Baxter State Park

Sandy Stream Pond is a prime area to watch and photograph Moose and landscapes. I recently had an opportunity to spend 3 days in Baxter State Park and during that time, I spend one evening and the next morning photographing around Sandy Stream Pond. In the evening, scattered backlit clouds...

The Lower Antelope Canyon

If you are taking a tour of the lower antelope canyon I highly recommend bringing sturdy tripod, a variety of lenses, and taking your time while on the photography tour. The extended tour as a photographer with a tripod and ILC body is totally worth the cost for a number...

Baltimore Inner Harbor

The Inner Harbor in Baltimore is the revamped family friendly corner of Charm City. The area offers a world class aquarium, restaurants and an incredible view. The top image was captured at dusk mid-summer just as the street/building lights were turning on. The area it was captured did not allow...

Oak Creek Canyon

The marked trail is a 6.4 mile round trip hike (3.2 miles each direction). The trail is a gorgeous walk through forests, broken up by crossing shallow mountain streams, and spotting occasional wildlife. While the entire walk is easy if you carry just a small bag with water/food, due to...

Smithsonian’s National Zoo

I find the Fall, Winter and early Spring the best times to travel to the zoo. The cooler weather makes the animals a bit more active especially the Red Pandas, Giant Pandas and Tigers, and cooler weather can sometimes deter the otherwise stifling crowds. (more…)

Covered Bridges

There are several covered bridges in Vermont and New Hampshire. This one can be crossed, whereas some others are closed (sometimes only to car, sometimes to both car and pedestrians). Any touristic map of the region will list the other bridges. Of course, you should pay attention to crossing cars...

Oak Alley

This plantation is famous for its alley used between the main house and the Mississippi River. The alley was used by the people doing business with the owner of the plantation and had to be impressive. The place is crowded, so if you want to see no-one in your pictures...

Highway 250 in Hawaii

Of course Hawai’i has many amazing photo spots! And the sights along Highway 250 in the northwest tip of the Big Island make it a worthwhile drive. Having an automobile is pretty much mandatory. The road out of Hawi is a steady climb up the west side of Kohala (the...

Kohala Coast

Dotted with resorts and small towns the Kohala Coast has everything for the vacationer and the photographer. The ocean is the centerpiece and picking an early morning time for your photography pays off as the low angle of the rising sun lights up the curl of the waves crashing onto...

Bisti Badlands

The Bisti Badlands is a stark location south and east of Farmington, NM and north and west of Albuquerque, NM. Best time of the day is late afternoon and early evening as the sun and shadows provide great opportunities for contrast in a desolate landscape. There is much to see...
