Venice, Italy
Arguably was of the most beautiful cities on the planet, Venice is a mecca of canals and bridges. Travel along on a gondola ride and capture stunning photos of the architecture and the Venetian people as you float along peacefully. Another good photo opportunity is The Carnival of Venice, which brings people on to the streets in fancy dress costumes and mysterious masks.
Kenya, Africa
Kenya is quite simply a photographer’s dream, packing in mountains, deserts, beaches and of course, the wonderful tribal people. Every part of this small country has something to provide a great photograph, from Mount Kenya National Park to the rainforests of Kakamega. It is also blessed with some of Africa’s best wildlife attractions.
Yellowstone National Park, USA
Spread over two million acres, Yellowstone is a must visit for any nature photographer and has everything from hot springs and waterfalls to stunning wildlife such as elk and grizzly bears. There are countless places to take a great photograph, but none are more spectacular than the Midway Geyser with its collection of mammoth-sized springs. Autumn is the best time to visit for photographers.
Great Barrier Reef, Australia
One of the seven wonders of the natural world, the Great Barrier Reef is the only living thing to be visible from space and is composed of over 2,900 individual reefs stretching over 133,000 square miles, and is home to over 1,500 different species of fish. Located on the north-east coast of Australia, the beauty of the Great Barrier Reef really has to be seen (and photographed) to be believed.
Milford Sounds, New Zealand
New Zealand is a country of stunning natural beauty, however, no place can claim to be quite as stunning as Milford Sounds. The country’s most famous tourist destination, and formerly the world’s top travel destination, has some of the highest sea cliffs on the planet, reaching up 1,200 metres from the water. The glaciers, waterfalls and overhangs are best captures on a day when the sun is beating and the cloud is sparse.
Hong Kong, China
Modern city skylines make excellent pictures, and there are few better skylines than that of Hong Kong. At night, the mix and bright lights and vibrant colours make for stunning photographs which are further enhanced by capturing Victoria Harbour. Finding a spot on a pathway along Victoria Peak will provide with the best views and this brilliant region.
Rajasthan, India
Barren landscapes, colourful people and grand palaces, Rajasthan has it all. From the forts in Jaipur and Jodhpur to the floating Lake Palace of Udaipur, The Land of the Kings is steeped in history. National Parks are home to stunning wildlife and the ancient Aravalli Range in one the oldest mountain ranges in the world. Be sure to have a fully charged camera and a large memory card when visiting this Indian state.
