10 Epic Landscape Photography Locations
Google Coordinates to Each Location Included
Now you can travel to the spots I have and put your camera exactly (well…certainly close) and try to capture the shots in this post. This post is the partner to my recent video 10 Photography Locations in 2 Minutes.
In the video, I thought it would be nice if everyone could easily see and access each photo from the respective locations referenced in the video along with the settings and google coordinates for each shot. It will also help you with the time of year so you know the season.
I use Photopills to plan all of my shots. One of the most useful apps and well spent money in all of my photography software.
Let’s Get to each photo in the order of the video!
