2. Grand Canyon, USA
Featuring some of the most breathtaking scenery on the planet, Grand Canyon National Park is widely regarded as one of the top spots in the United States for landscape photography.
Both the northern and southern rims of the park provide breathtaking vistas of the canyon below. You can take pictures of the rocky scenery anytime, from dawn to sunset, and capture its immensity and grandeur in all its glory. (Yellowstone, with its geysers and hot springs, and Yosemite, with its breathtaking waterfalls and picturesque peaks, are two other top US national parks worth visiting.)
3. Provence, France
The scenery of Provence is among the most stunning in the world. Provence is a beautiful region in the south of France, right on the border with Italy and the Mediterranean Sea, and known for its endless fields of purple lavender.
The bright weather, delicious food, and beautiful landscapes make Provence one of the best destinations to visit for photographers. This rural area is a photographer’s dream, with picturesque hilltop villages and, of course, those famous lavender fields.
4. Tenerife, Canary Islands
Are you a beginner looking for a wide variety of photogenic natural attractions? Think of going to Tenerife. Photography opportunities abound on the island of Tenerife, thanks to its varied topography (including volcanic landscapes, the pine woods of Teide National Park, black sand beaches, rough cliffs, and great trekking trails).
Mount Teide is the highest point in Spain at over 12,000 feet. And Teide is the most visited national park in Europe, drawing 3 million people every year. Tenerife’s pristine and vivid night skies attract many amateur and professional astronomers because of the island’s relatively low light pollution levels. Tenerife is a wonderful low-cost vacation spot with plenty of hotels and eateries that won’t break the bank.
5. Tanzania, Africa
Tanzania is one of the top wildlife photography destinations in the world, making it possible to see African wildlife in its native habitat, the stuff of fantasies.
The big five—lions, rhinoceroses, elephants, buffaloes, and leopards—can best be appreciated on a safari in Serengeti National Park. You can take pictures of cheetahs, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, zebras, and wildebeest, as well as the beautiful acacia trees and landscape surrounding them. Tanzania may not be the most budget-friendly vacation spot, but it will provide you with photographic opportunities that will last a lifetime.
6. Maldives
This stunning group of islands in the Indian Ocean, between Sri Lanka and India, makes for a picture-perfect vacation spot. The Maldives are truly breathtaking, boasting white sand beaches and blue waters in addition to a wide variety of exotic aquatic life.
Despite its higher price tag, this tropical haven is highly recommended for photographers. You can relax and take in the sights, go on a sunset cruise, or go nature-watching on the island of your choice. You can also take advantage of the fantastic underwater, on-water, and aerial picture opportunities by snorkelling, diving, kayaking, or flying in a seaplane.
7. Kefalonia, Greece
Kefalonia, a Greek island in the Ionian Sea, has a fantastic tropical climate in the spring, summer, and fall and is home to stunning natural beauty and fascinating cultural attractions.
Myrtos and Antisamos Beach, two of Kefalonia’s many beautiful beaches, are among the greatest in Europe. The island also features caverns, crystal-clear water, pine forests, cliffs, and abundant wildlife, making it ideal for landscape and travel photography. It’s a great area to come if you want to unwind, and you can quickly go around on your own.
There are many interesting places to see and photograph on the island, including ancient towns, ports, and charming villages. Santorini, Crete, and Corfu are three fantastic Greek islands to visit if you want to see more of the country.
8. Kyoto, Japan
If you’re a photographer, why should you come to Kyoto? For numerous factors. Many gorgeous parks, gardens, and thousands of ancient temples, pagodas, and shrines await visitors to this cultural hub. Both landscape and street photographers will find a wealth of shooting opportunities in Japan, with the country’s many kinds of wood, bamboo groves, and seasonal snow and cherry blossom displays.
The Fushimi Inari Shrine, with its thousands of torii gates, is one of the most photogenic places in Kyoto. World Heritage sites and tame deer make Nara Park, located nearby, a must-see. Kyoto is a great place to visit if you want to see stunning natural scenery and learn about fascinating cultural traditions within the same trip.
9. Namibia, Africa
Thanks to its varied landscapes and stunning animals, Namibia is a photographer’s paradise. Namibia is a photographer’s paradise, what with Etosha National Park (a wildlife sanctuary) and the Skeleton Coast (where the ocean is backed by dunes).
Sossusvlei’s barren dunes are a popular photographic subject. Some of the tallest sand dunes on Earth can be found at Namib-Naukluft National Park (Dune 7 is over 1256 feet tall). It’s exciting to look out over the vast expanse of sand dunes from the top of Dune 7, Dune 45, or Big Daddy.
10. The Himalayas, Nepal
The Himalayas are a popular travel destination because they feature some of the world’s most breathtaking mountain scenery. Mount Everest, the highest peak on Earth, is a fantastic focal point for mountain landscape photographs. It also serves as a beautiful backdrop for shots of the Himalayas.
