(prHWY.com) June 15, 2012 - florida, Denmark -- Where you like to have a trip, do you know the Best Places in the World to Photograph? We enlisted a slew of experienced travel photographers to help identify the less famous, yet equally photogenic travel destinations
NORTH AMERICA
Maruata Bay, Mexico
Instead of Puerto Vallerta
For great coastal shots of Mexico without all the tourism, head down to the Michoacà n state and rent a bungalo in Maruata. Says Ethan Welty (weltyphotography.com), "This fishing village is known as a hippie haunt, but it has an amazing amount of image ops," from cliffs to wetlands to birds and sea turtles. "Maruata is a protected nesting site for the [Pacific green] turtle, and by volunteering for the local conservation program, you can capture [the turtles] nesting eggs close-up."
Must-get shots: Waves crashing against cliffs; uncluttered beach sunsets; fishermen at work as pelicans swoop down; sea turtles making nighttime nesting trips.
Chugach State Park, Alaska, U.S
Instead of Denali National Park
At Chugach you'll find lakes nested in its mountainous terrain, marshlands filled with swans and migrating birds, views of Anchorage from the hike up the Glen Alps, spawning salmon, and beluga whales off the coast during July and August. Drive up by Turnagain Arm Pass, particularly in fall and spring, to capture its tidal bore, a wall of water created by the gap between high and low tide. DeYoung says only one other spot in North America has bigger fluctuations.
Must-get shots: Crescent or Mirror Lakes amid mountains; swans at sunset at Potter Marsh; beluga whales in season from pullouts on Turnagain; from the Bird Point pullout, surfers riding bore tide.
Cedar Mesa, Utah, U.S.
Instead of Mesa Verde
To capture Pueblo ruins and cliff dwellings in the southwest United States, photographers often flock to Colorado's Mesa Verde, but its lesser-known neighbor in Utah can give you similar photo ops--without the unseemly crowds. "Cedar Mesa is filled with Anasazi ruins, as well as stunning canyon trails, more widely scattered throughout the canyon," says Chris Noble (noblefoto.com). You will want GPS, a four-wheel drive vehicle, maps, and permits from the park's office to aid your quest for canyon vistas.
Must-get shots: Monochromatic, textured images of Anasazi cliff dwellings and rock paintings; sunset or long-exposure nighttime shots of its dramatic canyons.
San Ignacio, Baja California Sur, Mexico
Instead of Prince William Sound, Alaska
Heading south instead of north for whale watching affords you a totally different setting for your images. "Laguna San Ignacio is a sanctuary for the Pacific gray whale, and on boat trips on the water, whales will come right up and play with you for hours," says Welty. Staying in San Ignacio lets you capture the colonial Mexican town set within a lush, green, date oasis, as well as visit nearby Sierra de San Francisco to shoot its prehistoric pictographs built into the rock.
Must-get shots: Close-ups of whales frolicking near your boat in the laguna; wide-angles of the well-preserved Misión de San Ignacio; rock paintings in sunlight or light-painted after dusk.
For so many perfect photos how do you transfer them to your iPad? I recommend you iPad transfer, which is all-in-one software which can transfer photos to your iPad. For more information:
