China / Tangzhang
Memorial Museum of the Huaihai Campaign
Memorial Museum of the Huaihai Campaign in Tangzhang, China, offers a purposeful setting to practice architectural and civic-space photography.

Gyeongbokgung Palace

Why shoot here...
08
The Netherlands / The Hague
Escher in the Palace

The Netherlands / The Hague
Panorama Mesdag
Panorama Mesdag is worth scouting because the final frame depends on timing as much as the subject. Use blue hour as the first light window to test, then refine the angle with a 16-35mm wide angle or similar lens. Why shoot here Check the public access points first, then decide whether the best frame works...
