Official Photo Shoot Locations Thread

I want to see some photo shoot locations that are not “secret”. Any thing you post please post at least one example from and a map of approximate location. Please no nonsense. I know that’s asking a lot here but I want this to be Sticky worthy. as always do not quote pics please.

If you wish to elaborate on how the picture was captured as well as time of day/night, weather, lighting, ect… Please feel free to do so. No limit to how many locations one person can post.

Here is one of mine we have seen too many times. For a format example

Port of Albany. Normanskill St and Smith Blvd.

Great thread. I do know a lot of photographers are super secret about their spots though.

dont tell Ryan… shhhhhhhhhhhh

80 Vandenburgh Ave
Troy, NY

Im hoping a few will leak out the spots they are bored with. It happens and I think it would be a nice little benefit to the community. My spot sucked but I made it work. LoL. Location isn’t everything.

Always liked this pic

i really don’t know where half the places i shoot at are located until i arrive at them, i just drive till i find something.

I don’t really like to reveal a lot of places I use, most are obvious but I have to retain some secrecy :lol I’ll share two for now…

Industrial Area off Interstate Ave. near Fuller Road. Tons of potential locations off many of those streets.

Don’t mind the car, thing was a complete crap wagon. I had to Photoshop so many dents and scratches out of it, the owner never took care of it :rofl

Near Division Street (close to Bus Terminal).

Thank you for sharing! Both look to be primo locations and easily accessible.

I’ve always wanted a rolling shot photoshoot of the MR2 on one of the sections of the Taconic that’s really densely lined with trees, both in the summer and fall.

yeaaaaaaa good day !!!

^ I know you having something to contribute! LoL

good shot too :wink:

Should be a sticky.

Im sure it could be if more of Shift’s finest photographers could let us in on a few more spots… :smiley: Its going to be spring soon and this could be a great guide to people new to the hobby whether it be auto, moto, or just photography itself.

Thank you for the locations already submitted.

Million Dollar Beach [out of season].

I have a couple spots but were shown to me by some of the dudes on this site. KB listed one of them. I don’t know of many. Looking for an industrial place to take shots.

I still have an untapped location where I met up with Cossey last year. I still have wet dreams about other spots in that same complex lol. Im waiting to use it a few more times before I go buck wild and say where it is.

Ill let one more spot out, just because its past its prime since Ive used it twice.

Old warehouse/building on the corner of Mustang Drive and Falcon Rd. Parking lot has some nice character (broken, faded pavement). Building was vacant which made the lot easy to use, I think someone has since moved in so the parking lot may be used on a regular basis: Google Maps

:thumbup:lol
