I'll be driving form Chicago to (almost) Pittsburgh in a few weeks, and I'd like to stop and take some good photographs of anything pretty or noteworthy along the way. I can either drive the north route, to Cleveland, or the south route, through Indy and Cincinnati. I'm getting started in photography and thought I'd take advantage of the trip to practice a little.|||Both routes (having driven them both) are extremely flat and boring. There isnt going to be a ton to photograph either way. So- I would pick it by the cities you will be passing through. Cleveland does have the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which would make a nice picture, and Jacob's Field photographs nicely. There is a submarine you can tour downtown as well, which might make a nice photo or two.
In Indianapolis there is the Indy 500 Motor Speedway and the RCA Dome. In cincinnati there is the zoo, Great American Ballpark, Paul Brown Stadium, etc. Depending on how you go, you could also hit the Indian Mounds (Native American Mounds) at Ft. Ancient state memorial or Serpent Mound park, which might make for a good photo or two. Also, the Cincinnati skyline is renown for being one of the pretties there is (specifically from the Kentucky side of the river, looking down into the Nati). There is, of course, also the river areas in Cincy would could be photographed.|||I sort of did both the routes you mention on the Greyhound recently, going to and from Boston. My recollection is that NW Indiana is wooded but after that its mainly rolling farmland with barns and patches of woods. To the E of Cleveland it got hilly and woodsy, altho I went towards Erie not Pittsburgh that way. The south route was pretty similar, quaint farmland most of the way, altho I unfortunately did the part closer to Pittsburgh in the dark, that area is hilly and wooded. You might be able to find better scenery off of the interstates.
