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 as always do not quote pics please.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.

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. ---

Im sure it could be if more of Shift’s finest photographers could let us in on a few more spots… 😃 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. ---

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](http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=mustang+dr+clifton+park+ny&aq=&sll=42.799274,-73.732145&sspn=0.00914,0.023378&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Mustang+Dr,+Cohoes,+Albany,+New+York+12047&ll=42.799376,-73.732145&spn=0.00914,0.023378&z=17) ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3103/4628760744_e0c8449b1e_o.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/a/6/a6f831a0cbbf7a0f4b58d83468ded7a67c4425ff.jpeg) ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4003/4628157027_b66cd16099_o.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/8/b/8b4bb0f1d1d2c621a6eb34db7f15872c8d601339.jpeg) ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2719/4045467528_f97dd67a4b_o.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/7/3/7338b76db2e5e659cd3bfa80a3445904acace891.jpeg) ---
