How to Find Photo Spots Near You

A simple process for finding great photo spots nearby, plus how to check the light before you go.

Start with a map

Open the LensScape map and let it fill in spots around you. Pan and zoom to see more, and filter by the kind of scene you want, like waterfalls, cityscapes or viewpoints.

Check what the spot looks like

Open a spot to see photos, tags and directions. Save the ones you like to a list so you can compare them later.

Time it with the light

Every spot shows today’s golden and blue hour. Plan to arrive 20 to 30 minutes early to set up.

Check the weather

Clouds can make or break a sunset. Check the forecast on the spot before you head out.

Your next great shot is closer than you think.
