This Map Will Guide You to the Most Popular Photographs Around the World.

From overseas travel destinations to your own neighborhood, there are great photo opportunities around the world. This interactive map shows where people around the world are taking photographs.

Photographer Mike Wong created the tool using APIs from the 500px photography community. The site is an interactive heatmap that points to the various hotspots where you can view photos and data about them. On Reddit, Wong explained:

I love to travel and find new places to photograph, so I often flip aimlessly through Google Maps. A few weeks ago I thought it would be interesting to see where and when other photographers take photos, so I decided to create a small website that shows just that.

The website also has a slider where you can filter the photos by the month they were taken. Wong says that since the tool is new, it only includes data for December and January, but because it updates data daily, it will grow over time. He also plans to create categories so you can filter nature shots, street shots, and more.
