Washington
The one place I had written about earlier than experiencing myself was good ol’ Washington State. The article “10 Pictures that Justify Washington because the Most Instagrammable State in America” was a success.
So I packed up a bag, hopped into automobiles with folks I hardly knew, and bought from Los Angeles to Seattle to expertise the hype myself.
Washington didn’t disappoint.
I do know what you’re pondering.. “Steph, have you ever been to each state in America?” No.
“Steph, what about Hawaii, Utah, Arizona, Alaska, and among the different phenomenal geography throughout the U.S.?”
I didn’t say that Washington is the one state with immense magnificence. I mentioned it’s essentially the most Instagrammable.
Right here’s why.
1. #Fog — The climate in Washington permits photographers to shoot with out harsh lighting, increasing the window of optical instances to shoot.
This permits for full day adventures versus simply the golden hours (dawn/ sundown). Have enjoyable skipping your regulation college programs to shoot that mountain (this truly occurred to me whereas in Washington. Shout out to @MissMeghanYoung).

2. Extra Instagrammers: There are such a lot of individuals who truly meet via Instagram in Washington State that you just’ll all the time have somebody to journey with.
Not everybody cares to cease and play with angles and places to shoot. Hanging out with buddies is totally different than hanging out with buddies who take pleasure in pictures.
In Washington, not solely do folks meet by way of Instagram, they usually hang around with one another even once they aren’t taking pictures. There’s a actual, tangible Instagram group in Washington State that that become friendships past the curiosity of pictures.

3. The panorama is a breath-taking geographical salad.
Seashore? Sure. Forest? A lot. Metropolis? See it. Cliffs, tulips, snow, bridges, craters, lakes …. you’ll discover it in Washington State.

It’s simple to convey your digicam when you have already got plans to hike in Mount Rainier, drink espresso on the most hipster non-Starbucksy Starbucks, or hit the lake.

5. Proximity.
On the coronary heart of Washington lies Seattle, a one to 2 hour drive from every part. There are solely so many instances you’ll be able to shoot at identical place earlier than it will get boring. Washington presents extra locations at an inexpensive distance for day journeys and weekenders.
Don’t be stunned if some Oregon or Vancouver natives are in state to seize the wonderful Evergreen State.
