The Guggenheim Museum

Once you've gone into the galleries you're not allowed to take pictures. However, they don't mind you taking any from the ticket hall on the ground floor. Luckily the ticket office is in the perfect spot to get a shot of the entire building! (more…)

Porta Susa Train Station

I love it. Plenty of lines, steel and glass. But you can't do photos there. Or better, you couldn't :) Be invisible, use little cameras and DON'T use tripods (or policeman will see you). Best hours are all the days, the light is filtered from the glass top. It's huge...

Butterfly Park & Insect Kingdom

Surrounded with lush tropical greenery, Butterfly Park & Insect Kingdom showcases the stunning beauties of a different variety of beautiful butterflies and interesting insects. It is a great place to photograph! (more…)

Big Ben

This is a very popular stop to shoot Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. The best time is during the golden hour, but you may need to get there early to get a good spot. Tripods are allowed, but be careful as there's a pavement that runs along the...

London Skygarden

To get to the rooftop you need to book in advance (google London Skygarden) but it's free. You can't take tripods up, but other than that you can pretty much do what you like. (more…)

Marina Bay Sands Casino and Hotel

This is a fantastic place to take in the night citylights of Singapore. It's photography friendly, tripod use is allowed. I used a concrete ledge on the river bank. (more…)

Point Reyes National Seashore

Point Reyes is a beautiful piece of the California coastline just north of San Francisco. It is one of the most western extensions of the coastline, and because of this is a magnet for migrating birds--about 40% of the bird species in America have been recorded here, as well as...

Angkor Wat

This is an incredibly well-visited area, and getting in position for a good shot with a minimum of people in it can be challenging, to say the least. The prime sunrise spot is generally mobbed with tourists, and to some extent you'll have to just accept having some people in...

Lake Tanuki

This is the premiere location for taking pictures of Mount Fuji at sunrise. It also has by far the best reflection, i.e. most likely to have smooth water. There is a nice path on the shoreline and a little campground with vending machines and restrooms at the main parking lot....

Ruby Beach

The pristine beaches of Olympic National Park along the Washington coast offer many advantages for landscape photography. Here one can find sea stacks, driftwood, pebble-strewn beaches, and sweeping vistas to warm the heart of a landscape photographer. In addition, there are no towns and houses, and few people. (more…)
