Dream photographic location and why?


Recommended Posts

This is a very open ended question, but I am interested in what would be a dream photo location to others and why it would be. This

could be a geographical location, an event, a gathering. Something where the elements you like to photograph would present

themselves just right for you. For me it would be antarctica, and Patagonia. My reasons are Antarctica for the pristine unique

landscape sea scape and wildlife, and Patagonia for the people and the landscape, rugged yet beautiful. Both bucket list items.

<p>I would also put Patagonia and Antarctica at the top, but I cannot justify the cost, given that ice bergs can be seen in Greenland (though different, the arctic has its own charm) which is closer to Finland so less travel fatigue, jet lag, and much lower cost for me.</p>

<p>Another location is Iceland, which I have already briefly visited, but I am planning on doing a longer, 2-3 week trip circling around the country in the summer, just haven't decided which summer. ;-) The icelandic landscape is quite spectacular. Trouble is that it can be very windy and some places are not so safe. Last time I went there the wind sometimes literally prevented me from opening the car door, and blew my tripod (G1348 II) into the ground. I got a bunch of blurry images... along with a few good ones. But the spectacularity of the location cannot be debated.</p>

<p>In addition, Kioto in Japan, some landscapes in China, the Samba Carnival in Rio, are on my list and will probably be realized. But I don't think I will be able to justify the expenditure to go to Antarctica.</p>

<p>Antarctica and the carnival in Rio are also very high on my list. As is the Norwegian coastline and the moon. The Antarctic and Norway for their natural beauty and the carnival for it's general colourfulness. The moon because it's not overrun by photographers. Yet ;-)</p>

<p>It's nothing more than a fantasy, but I'd love to be invisible, along with my gear. I'd love to photograph people going about their daily activities without being seen -- without impacting whatever it is I'm trying to photograph. The best I can achieve is inconspicuousness -- on a good day.</p>

<p>Australia, from alpine regions through to desert, rainforest to the aridity of the kimberleys, very unusual fauna both past and present, and the accent on the laconic soul of mankind, plus the frenetic activity of the major cities....the embodiment of Tao prevails here.</p>

<p>There are some places i did not mention, because I AM GOING THERE THIS YEAR in April, woo hoo. Death Valley, Yosimite National Park, Zion, Bryce, Antelope, Grand Canyon, Alaska, Oregon Coast. To me this is a photographic trip of a lifetime. I knwo to a lot of my American friends its no big deal, but for me the natural Buety of Western USA is a Must do. I would Also love to go to Ngorangoro National park and the serengetti for wild life. That is also on my to do list</p>

<p>My dream location (since I'm dreaming) would be amongst Saturn's moons. Imagine zipping around there, lining up the moons with the sunlight and the rings, getting the shot of a lifetime.</p>

<p>If not that, I'd like to circumnavigate the Mediterranean in a year.</p>

<p>Even more realistic would be a month in GB and Eire. But I'll settle for a couple of weeks in Alaska.</p>

<p>Alaska, China, North Korea, Thailand, Nepal, India, East Africa, Antarctica, Galapagos Islands, Australia, New Zealand, Namibia, NE U.S. in the fall, Patagonia, Myanmar, Viet Nam, Egypt, and probably a few more. Realistically, I'll probably get to wherever my truck is able to take me.</p>

<p>Anywhere with nature subjects, good scenics, and clear night skies away from light pollution. New Zealand comes to mind. Also wouldn't mind the back country of Yosemite, been there once, always wanted to return. Would also like some of the areas in northern British Columbia or Alaska, been on this astronomy kick for the past couple of years, would love to photograph northern lights. Come on sun, fire up those sunspots, ya been keeping us in suspense for too long!</p>
