United Kingdom The Vennel and Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh
This is a very famous spot to photograph in Edinburgh, however, it's not a spot that you would just walk into. The Vennel (Vennel means passage) is essentially a lane. I would visit this spot either at sunrise or sunset times. If you go at sunrise, it means fewer people and you might have the place to yourself.
Photography Tips
Take a tripod and explorer different compositions, taking two steps left or right can make a big difference, especially here.
Travel Information
