Maybe the Cyclorama, if they haven't started taking it apart yet. Stone Mountain for sure! The restaurant, that spins around, 70 floors up. Shoot a 360 panorama, without leaving your table.

In Savannah lots of photo in the old river front area. It may seem odd or gross to some but don't miss Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah. Endless photo ops there. Do a Google search and you will see thousands of photos from there. TNmike

I agree, Savannah is full of photogenic sights; almost any place you look.

However, you can get some unique shots by taking a cheap boat cruise. At the docks in the the downtown tourist area there is a hotel shuttle boat service that goes across the Savannah River and back. It only costs a few bucks, and takes about an hour.

I can spend hours taking photos inside the Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah.

Another nice place to photograph is Wormsloe historic site, not far from Bonaventure Cemetery.

Walk around Forsyth Park for more photo ops and have a coffee at the Sentient Bean (at the south end of the park).

Enjoy.

Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta, Any of the historic districts. Stone mountain has already been mentioned..Take one of the carriage tours in Savannah as they take you past all of the touristy places.

Take one of the tourist shuttle rides around Savannah to get oriented, then you can go back to the sites you think would afford good photo ops. A ride out to the fort and light house on Tybee Island is also a worthwhile venture.

Beautiful waterfalls walk up the steps from nearby parking. This is the starting place for the appellation trail.
