Interesting Places To Take Photos

[debm5469]

I'm interested in finding some new places to shoot some photos. Depending on the light and the weather my own home and neighborhood are consistent go to's as are local nurseries, parks, hiking trails and museums. Where do you go to practice? Public spaces such as libraries, restaurants, shopping plazas sound interesting but I was curious to hear of any other off the wall places where I might be able to get some practice in.

Other than what you mentioned I have the Gateway Arch and river front here in St. Lou. Shooting "urban decay" is big here in St. Lou. I have several customers at the lab that shoot in abandoned buildings.

Do a Google search "photo locations near me" you'll get a lot of hits

I consider interesting anywhere I havent been and anything I havent done. It sounds vague but there are endless possibilities. Also try cheap macro with extension tubes.

If you want to "get some practice in" just delete all your thinking about interesting places. "Place" is meaningless. I happen to do the great majority of my work in a very small radius near home, in an ordinary, small, defunct but not run down, former industrial city in the Northeast.

Here I find people, things, and light. Is there something more than those three ingredients that would really be necessary to make photographs ?

As @Golem points out it doesn't have to be interesting places. Interesting events always work, and you can create a load of those yourself it you can't find events laid on...
Then you can try familiar locations with a different approach - long exposures, different times/weather, close up details.
