I will be renting in Savannah for three months, ( Jan,Feb,Mar) returning to New England in April. Am hoping to connect with some photographic folks while there, maybe go on some photo shoots together. Also to learn places to shoot that the average tourist might miss. I have only been to Savannah on business trips in the past so I am looking forward to spending time there. Feel free to send me a private message. And thanks!

I was it here a few years ago on my drive from New England to Florida and we decided to spend a few days in Savannah. While we were driving my wife Googled photo walks and we hired a photographer to walk with me at 6am the ne still morning. One of the best photo experiences Ive ever had. We wound up walking the entire area getting to spots just as the sun was optimum for that spot. In addition to the photography, he was a real expert on the history of the city and I really learned a lot. Try googling Photo walks in Savannah. It is a great way to start your stay in the city.

I am in Savannah each Spring. Even in the touristy places there are many photo ops for the dedicated photographer. Bonaventure Cemetery has so many beautiful areas many people never visit. Wormsloe Plantation at the right time of day is fun. Don't forget the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge. Have fun!

Should you decide to head up towards the mountains, shoot me a PM, I would be glad to shoot with you. I am in the Cashiers area, we have several great waterfalls in the area as well as the Blue Ridge Parkway is just over a 1/2 hour drive from where I live.

Tons of wildlife and colonial history in that area. Be sure to visit all the forts and lighthouses and old churches running down the GA coast from Savannah to Amelia Island, aka the Golden Isles.

Thank you so much. Love the area you are in. Had a relative in Highlands for a number of years, always loved to visit. Will PM you if I head your way.

About an hour north on Hwy 17 you'll find Old Sheldon Church ruins and just down the street Tomotley Plantation. This is a private residence, but the shots from the entrance of the live oaks is worth the trip.

Spent several days there earlier this year, and the wife (also a photographer) had the plan of things to see pretty well mapped out such as Tybee Island, Bonaventure Cemetery, obviously the city area itself...even an old car museum where you could kill an hour or two on a rainy day. Maybe for some inspiration the following is my Flickr album of shots by me when we were down there: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmLPUbcC

Savannah is awesome! You will have plenty of time to take in not only what Savannah has to offer; but the surrounding areas as well. I don't know the weather during this time; but the opportunities are still the same.
You have already heard great places and must see places to go. The photographic opportunities are endless.
I would suggest that you first do your own touring; using the local guide books is a good start. Get a first look and enjoy the culture and history. Then, contact a local photographer. You will now have a basis on which to have a meaningful discussion as to where to go and when. You have the extra ordinary benefit of having time.
I wish we had more time to take drives further outside of the city to Beaufort and the mountains. Next time!
(There is a hidden gem near the airport-- The Mighty Eighth Museum)
Enjoy and return with great memories.
