Question for all....

[casil403]

If you could go anywhere in the world to photograph a place that you've never been and you only had one day (24 hours) to shoot, where would you go?

Just curious mostly to see where/what people would come up with.....
For me, right now (lately) that would be Gwai Haanas NP (Queen Charlotte Islands) on the northwest coast of Canada from sunrise to sunset. LoL...my new fixation!
That or Easter Island to catch the Moaii at sunrise/sunset.

I'm also fixated with Iceland these days as well.... mostly the northern lights incorporated with ice and volcanoes.
Next??

Cambodia for the old temple ruins.

Cambodia for the old temple ruins.

Oh yeah! Forgot about that one...that would be on the list most certainly!

I'm not sure if it matters which large city but a large city to be sure as I tend to lean towards street shooting. It would have be a place where there's a lot of density so I'm thinking New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, Paris. If I could shoot for a day and then spend some time before or after working on my karate fixation I'd have to go to Japan so it would be Tokyo I think.

India would be cool for that also!

That is a tough one. So, so many come to mind. Firstly Casil, BF & Iggy if any of you require an assistant, I would be happy to oblige .

I am tossing up between 2 totally different experiences.

1. a day in Africa starting at a local village before heading out to shoot scenery & wildlife at a game park or similar.
2. As I do a lot of sport photography - an all areas access pass to shoot the AFL Grand Final (the Australian Rules Football equivalent of the Superbowl)

I would love to photograph Machu Picchu in the Peruvian Andes. Incan architecture from the 1400's and the Andes for a backdrop. A close second would be Ankgor Wat in Cambodia as mentioned by Barefoot and casil403. Even older than Machu Picchu, Ankgor Wat was built during the 1100's.

I did all my exotic traveling in my younger days.
- 3 months - London to Afghanistan (before the Taliban)
- 3 months - Through South America (including Machu Picchu)
- 6 weeks - Through the outback of Australia
- 4 Weeks - Game parks in Tanzania
- 4 weeks - Through Europe
- 3 weeks - To Alaska

My current wish list is
1. Iceland
2. Scotland/Ireland
3. Antarctic
