So I’m getting my car by a photographer in the next couple weeks and was looking for some good locations. I know a couple out this way but dont want to use them. I work in Schenectady and there seems to be some nice area’s out here, but I thought we could use this thread to share our photo op spots. ---

I’ve gone to it many times. You have to use Speeder road or lane or whatever. You’ll see where I shoot on the left half a mile down. Speeder is a private road though. Either side of the tracks off of 396 and you should be okay. ![http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/6332/65281688.jpg](http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/6332/65281688.jpg) Approximate locations of where I shoot. ---

Let me know some time if you want to stop by on a nice saturday and we can do a shoot. My camera is pretty decent (basic point and shoot but I know how to maximize it’s potential). I’d obviously need to know ahead of time so I can wash/wax. [Pictures I’ve Taken](http://www.anyyouth.com/ilya/Maxima/Best%20Of%20Pictures/Resized/) ---

^ That one looks good. Where is that. I never understood why people didn’t want to share their camera spots. Like it’s a big secret or something. Were all in the same game here… Iila do you have the address for the CSX rail yard? ---
