Known for its height-defying skyscrapers, New York is not only one of the best places for cityscape shots, it also offers plenty of opportunities to capture eye-catching landscape photos. In the autumn, the trees will burst with shades of burnt orange, yellow and red and people will stroll through the parks, making for a charming photo op.

This image was taken in the Garfield Tot Lot in Prospect Park, which is in Brooklyn.
When you enter the park along the northwest side of Prospect Park West, you'll see a small children's playground at the intersection Garfield and Prospect Park West. Walk toward the lot and then while on the foot trail, face west and align your composition — taking into account the street lamp, path, and arching trees.
By subway:
- Closest station: Grand Army Plaza (2, 3, 4 Lines)
