I am collecting information about the best places to visit on future trips.
I need useful tips: Could you please help and name some of the most beautiful places in the world which you think are worth photographing?

Well I'm not a world traveler, but I'll give you a few locales here in the US.

Maroon Bells

Bridal Veil Falls

Not easy to get to, but the Crystal Mill makes a great picture.

Beartooth Highway NE of Yellowstone

Badlands National Park

I'm sure you'll get tons of suggestions. Those are a few of my faves.

The national parks/forests/monuments of southern Utah. It's hard to take a bad picture in many areas around there.

Imo, ..."most beautiful places in the world" have all been shot, by pros and in all kinds of light and composition. Not to mention most pros use well done Lightroom/Photoshop.

Not that 'we' don't all want to see some of those remarkable places, but as posters above noted, nearly every Nat Park, and even most 'scenic' two lane highways in the US, will have some great scenes and spots to shoot.

My list won't be someone else's list. Your idea of 'great scene' may not be mine or anyone else's best, etc.

Back at the Shooting Ranch, once one gets to that spot on the List, the time of day, the light, the weather, one's $500 cam vs the pros' bag of several $ and lenses, etc and most of us are not in the same league. Not that we can't enjoy it, shoot it, remember it...

Hit the road and go see stuff, avoid the tours/buses, catch early daylight and late afternoon/early eve light, shoot shoot and shoot some more.

All of us will have some fave places; most of us will 'know' the same couple of dozen, as will everyone else.

Almost every country, region, and area will have things worth photographing. There can never be one definitive list of such places.

Having said all that, here are some of the well-known ones I've been to (which have been photographed by thousands of others):

Maroon Bells, Colorado


Most anywhere off the beaten path in Colorado


Moab/southern Utah


Paris, France


Amalfi coast, Italy


London, UK


Croatia


Chicago, Illinois


Florence, Italy


Fiji


Lake Garda, Italy


Istanbul, Turkey


Prague, Czech Republic


Cinque Terre, Italy


Pretty much...


...anywhere...


...in...


...New Zealand

I moved to New Mexico almost 2 years ago and have been awed by the beauty of the place. There are many places where you can stand and turn 90 degrees and take gorgeous pictures each time you turn. I always underestimated the beauty of the desert until I was here. It's a four season place so the images reflect the passing seasons depending on when you go.

Truly every place, including dirty and ugly places, is worth photographing--and can produce beautiful photographs.

Here is the useful tip you need: figure out what you like to photograph. You may find street scenes beautiful, or abandoned buildings, water features, mountains, deserts, or boats. And figure out how to make great photos to capture those places.

Great ideas! Yes, Crystal Mill and these other places are worth to visit for taking magic pictures and for getting a bit adrenaline.

First of all your pictures fascinate! Honestly I'm not good at photographing, tell me please is it possible only by very expensive camera, to make such photos? But yes, I can't stop admire them. Thanks a lot for such delight!
I agree everyone has his own list of 'great scene' and I'd like to get to know people's different preferences to open my mind.
