No matter where your next vacation takes you, there are sure to be a number of interesting buildings and other eye-catching architecture. Photographing these subjects may seem simple enough, but the "point and shoot" style often results in bland pictures that do not convey the essence of the setting you had hoped to capture.

Photograph a Hawaiian Vacation
I once met a man working in a public garden in Maui, who was originally from Pennsylvania, and I asked him what it was like to live on Maui. He calmly replied, "Its paradise, just like they say." There is a reason why people there are smiling all the time; just look around. Hawaii is one of the most beautiful places on earth--and truly has the best weather--it is very consistent due to the proximity to the equator, however, there are still seasons. More importantly, each island has its desert side and jungle side. Make sure you do your research on the Internet before deciding where to go and where to stay in Hawaii. Hawaii offers its own challenges to the photographer. Each beach and mountain is so beautiful, there is a desire to stop at every turn to take pictures--so just relax into the Aloha spirit and follow these handy tips for taking some great photos.

Although most potted plants thrive just as well as ones in the ground, they deteriorate quickly when not cared for.

Take a Cheap Vacation to Washington for Christmas
Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, is home to many important American institutions such as Congress and the Supreme Court. Christmas can be an ideal time to visit Washington. The city's streets are less crowded as Congress leaves town for the holidays and lobbyists follow. The city's location in the middle of the Eastern seaboard means that it has a four-season climate. Snow is very likely during this period, giving the area a pleasant appearance. Christmas can also be a surprisingly inexpensive time to visit this area.
