One of the most spiritual and serene places on earth to visit is Angkor Wat, a Cambodian temple of large pyramid-like spires in a four-mile-long square structure surrounded by a moat. The "Temple Mountains," or the large structures that fill this breathtaking spot, are large towers that represent Mount Meru, the place where the Hindu gods dwell, which also are said to be the center for all spiritual and physical universes. The vast-sized temple could take days to navigate, but the beauty of the courtyards, galleries, sculptures and ornate walls beg to be photographed. There are walkways within the courtyard where you can shoot panoramas or take interior shots of the temples with ancient sculptures, offering a once-in-a-lifetime experience for photographers.

The Great Wall of China stretches for more than 4,000 long, and was built as a fortification to protect the Chinese empire from invaders. The North Pass, known as Badaling, is one of the three largest passes of the Great Wall, which was originally built to protect Beijing, and today is the most visited section of the wall. It went through a massive renovation in 1957 when it was opened to visitors, and today runs along the rugged terrain below. There are many places to get a great shot, including from the steps and guard forts that span miles and miles. Just take your pick.

In the middle of the Indian Ocean lies the Maldives, an island system made up of many atolls that feature some the most beautiful tropical and underwater shots you can find in the world. At the Ari Atoll, you'll find exceptional underwater photographic opportunities like whale sharks and many other tropical species. Also along the coral reefs below the atoll, you can find the longnose hawkfish scurrying around with its distinct red and pink crosshatch pattern–one of the favorite subjects to shoot in underwater photography because of its unique look.
