Library of Congress

This place is probably in every tourist guide talking about Washington, for a good reason. As a photographer (and as a tourist), you shouldn't miss an opportunity to go there. The building (outside and inside) is wonderful. Depending on the time you have, you can peak a guided tour or...

Old Sturbridge Village

Since this place is in New England, the best place to go is late September during the foliage period. By going at that time, in addition of making nice pictures of the place by itself, you will have the red-orange-yellow colors in the trees. I would bring a wide-angle lens...

Mission San Jose

This is an old hispanic mission. The church is very nice, and there are nice photographic opportunities given by the shadows of the building. You don't need any specific gear, you will probably go there during day light. However it is perhaps wise to have a wide-angle lens. It may...

Austin SoCo District

This district is a very lively neigbourhood with a lot of different kind of stores. It is an ideal spot for street photography. I would try to go there when you know that you won't be alone to capture the lively part of the area, so week-ends are a good...

Snake River Overlook

The area surrounding Grand Teton National Park includes some of the most photographed landscape locations in Wyoming such as the Snake River overlook and John Moulton's barn.

There are a number of vantage points for the city skyline all along the southern shore of the James River, but the 9th street bridge is the only dead-on location for a city shot. I have to be honest, I'm a Richmond native and I don't find the skyline to...

Mesa Arch by Moonlight

Sunrise is the preferred time, but on a typical day there will be several photographers lined up in front of the arch, making a photograph of the entire arch problematic. However, it is a little known fact that the arch also lights up at moonrise. If you want to try...

Iguazu Falls

Iguazu Falls are an exceptional wonder of nature and a great adventurer's experience. However, for photographers they are not particularly pleasent object due to heavy humidity and often showers. Nevertheless, you must take your camera with you. (more…)

Petra

There are several trips and adventures one must experience while visiting Petra. Firstly, I highly recommend going for "Petra by night" that starts at 8:30 pm and finishes at 10:30 pm on select days of the week. It is a guided tour to Petra Treasury (one of the new 7...

Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu

This is a cool spot behind the baseball field that overlooks the Pacific Ocean which is a great spot in its own right. I parked and walked, close to sundown, along a path that runs horizontal to the ocean front though you are way higher overlooking the ocean. It had...
