I am sick of taking pics of my car in the parking lot in front of my house, and I generally want to take pics away from the house, and not in a parking lot.
Can’t do the Threemile Island (Ellicott Creek’s island) parking lot, even though the pedestrian bridge looks kinda cool. (the lot is all rocks and the driveway has a big curb. I bottomed out and knocked an exhaust tip crooked there…with STOCK height)
I’d like to get a pic with the Grand Island bridge(s) but it seems there is no good place to park…
Any other scenic ideas?
PS: I’ll go anywhere within 30 minutes and no tolls.
i think it was stealth who took a picture with his car on a sidewalk in front of some building down town. it was a front shot of his yellow vette. I still think about that picture.
a good photographer can turn almost any spot into a great location. I’ve seen a lot of shots that i wouldn’t consider, you just have to look at them differently. A lot of people tend to like the “industrial” theme, which automatically makes your car badass.
Try anything along the water, especially just off Furman Blvd. You have a freaking natural world wonder down the street which is perfect. Rick and i got some great shots there. The key is to work with POV’s, not necessarily a backdrop.
Some common ones:
Parking Garage
Under a bridge
In a field
abandoned buildings
On a waterfront
etc.
For instance…not a particularly “awesome” location, but he turned nothing into something.
here is a pic of an old train station in OP, with more pic taking skills it would probably come out really nice, my camera just sucks and i dont really know what im doing with taking pics, but here it is
i remember seeing those pics and i would really like to kno where that was.
I would also like to go down on main street one night (after the subway is done) and park my truck like at a cross street and take a pic with looking down main in the background.
but anywa, my go-to spot for pics has and always will be Niawanda park on NT.
this is prob my favorite picture of my Porsche and it was from Niawanda.
I actually wanted to take advantage of my 4x4 stance. And you’ll find that the Niagara Falls atmosphere gives you a nice display of colors to work with!
