Favorite Photography Spots in DFW
๐ฟ Nature / Gardens / Parks
โ
Well-structured list with the most recognized DFW spots (Arboretum, White Rock Lake, River Legacy).
๐ I suggest organizing into two subcategories for a more visual approach:
Designed Gardens and Parks: Dallas Arboretum, Fort Worth Botanic Garden, Lakeside Park, Japanese Tea Garden.
Natural Parks and Lakes: White Rock Lake, Cedar Hill State Park, Grapevine Lake, Murrel Park, Stone Creek Park, Prairie Creek Park.
This way, when you want a more elegant look vs. a rustic one, you already have two clear lists.
๐๏ธ Urban / Murals / Street Style
โ
Good mix of murals, modern districts, and historic areas.
๐ Here, I would make two divisions:
Modern / Architecture: AT&T Discovery District, Downtown Dallas, Majestic Theatre, West End.
Artistic / Alternative: Deep Ellum, Bishop Arts, Fabrication Yard.
This allows you to differentiate between a clean and elegant look vs. a bohemian or street style look.
๐ Country / Rustic
โ
Great examples: Stockyards, Penn Farm, Perry Homestead.
๐ You could add a quick note for each with the type of access or vibe:
Historic / Educational: Penn Farm, Perry Homestead.
Authentic Western: Stockyards.
Private Ranches / Farms: Pecan Creek Farm, Lone Star Mansion.
โ๏ธ Out of Town / Getaways
โ
Here are some gems not everyone mentions (Collings Castle, Monahans, Sekrit Theater, Adriatica Village).
๐ I recommend dividing into Scenic Nature and Iconic Spots:
Scenic Nature: Big Rocks Park, Pedernales Falls, Krause Springs, Caddo Lake, Beavers Bend, Monahans Sandhills.
Iconic / Architectural Spots: Stone Ridge Villa, Collings Castle, Castle on the Lake, Adriatica Village, Sekrit Theater, Mission San Francisco.
