Do you guys have any idea about where to go for capturing some good shots to impress someone with my photography skills or what kind of camera or lens should I use for nature photography? I was thinking of being a part of bus tours to chicago but before making any decisions wanna know what does your mind says about this. Do you have any suggestions for me?

I recommend that you explore Chicago City. It is a wonderful and largest city of the Illinois, United States of America. It is famous for delicious food, restaurants, outdoor activities, Chicago-style hot dogs, and Chicago-style (deep dish) pizza. I am sharing here some photography places in this city. there are the Nature Boardwalk at Lincoln Park Zoo, North Avenue Beach, The Chicago Theatre, Chicago Riverwalk, Milton Lee Olive Park, and The Bean. What's to say?

Imsaal suggested the best attractions and You should add to your cart to explore them and You should use the DSLR camera in standard lense. This kind of camera is best for trvelers. By the way, Do you have this kind of gadget (camera) for enjoying photography on your tour?
