These are the best Reno Nevada photography spots. Trust me, I know that place inside and out. I spent 20 years of my life there.  Where is Reno Nevada? Reno Nevada sits neighboring California in Northern Nevada. Its exact location would be 440 miles from Las Vegas, Nevada if you were to head north.

Reno Nevada is also known as “The Biggest Little City in The World.” The sign downtown will tell you just that.

Reno Nevada is a charming city surrounded by beautiful mountains. With Lake Tahoe just over the hill, there are lots of stunning views to be had from the Biggest Little City.  However, I have found the best Reno Nevada photography spots.

THE GEAR

The gear I used for all my photos: Nikon with a Nikon 14-24mm and a Nikon 24-85mm.  A MeFOTO tripod and a wide angle is a must. I edit all my images with my Lightroom Presets download them and give them a try.
