hey guys;
I've been doing photography for a while now and my little brother has just recently picked up the hobby.
I asked him earlier today how he felt about a road trip where we could end up somewhere cool and just take photos along the way. he's in, just looking for me to find us our destination.
in a perfect world, we'd end up somewhere with mountains and a large body of water together.
we live in NC on the east coast. ALMOST every cool spot I wanted is on the other side of america.
any suggestions? the appalachain trail looks promising but I'm not trying to fight off bears or anything. Just looking to eat at some diners, stay in a shit hotel and get some meaningful photos.
Open to a desert too or somewhere with no light pollution.
Hit me with something from left field
thanks in advance!

The AT is really tricky to photograph. Until you get up to Maine, really, it's almost always too dense to get shots you're after. I think it's a really untapped subject, but it's fucking difficult to shoot well.

Speaking of Maine, that's where you need to go. If you don't want to drive over to the West Coast just yet, then there's no reason you can't go up to Maine. Once you get above Boston, it gets really nice. The little towns are fucking amazing. There's lobster fucking everywhere, and there's tons of photographic scenery. Make your final destination Acadia National Park, on Mount Desert Island. Stay in the town of Bar Harbor. It's fucking gorgeous.

oh man that's an amazing suggestion. THANK YOU
bar harbor looks perfect!
Go to the better Carolina and take pictures of Charleston.
Literally the most photogenic city in the country.

I've hiked about 300 miles of the AT and it's more of a green tunnel / forest experience than a open fields and mountains experience. Also not too many bears lol. If you're interested in photography and long distance backpacking, I'd recommend checking out hte Pacific Crest Trail.
