The Official Photo Shoot Locations Thread
 

So while driving around today, taking pictures popped into my head and I wanted to find some good locations around the area. But I didn't know any. I hope this idea hasn't been thought of already but I'd like to make this thread for the purpose of posting any and all locations and spots for having a photo shoot or taking pictures. So post em up!

*EDIT* please include a google map link and a brief and to the point description about your location so I can add it to a list that will be made in this first post. Thank you!

Found this spot today

Glencairn Museum (right across from Bryn Athyn college), Bryn Athyn, PA

There's also a cathedral nearby and there's really nice scenery

not a bad idea, i think you should post a google maps link to the exact location, so then people can know where it really is, if they are not familiar with the areas.


most played out location, but always a goodie....

This is a good idea. For central NJ people, there are some abandoned shipping factories in Cranbury.

if this thread is going to turn out to be useful, you should have to post a pic with a google maps link to go with. not just a couple pictures inside a parking garage, you can find them anywhere:roll: post them in the random picture thread.

What about the meet in the garage. Never heard about it. Got an address? I'd def go

Location, location, location

Yes can people start briefly describing your locations so I can put it in a list in the first post. Like just something short and to the point

Also, please post a google map link when you make a post. Thank you! I just updated the first post with this information too

I actually HAVE a thread for the meet.
Search search search.
;)

As for the other pictures, Those are in historic trenton. As well as a bunch of other great locations for pictures. You just have to drive around.

Edit: I'll help you out for the meet thread even though it's just a few clicks

Great idea for a thread OP!

Unfortunately it would be impossible to do that shot again since they demolished all of that field and put up a fence...but their are still other great photo ops at Beth Steel!

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4077/...fe8356be_b.jpg

Btw, don't try to take photos on the opposite side in the casino parking lot....they'll kick you out. "No cameras allowed on casino property".

Francis E. Walter dam near Jack Frost. When they drain the one side of the dam for maitenance you're allowed to drive down in it. Makes for awesome photos.

Yeah, I got some pics of my Monte Carlo further back behind this shot when they still had all the Japanese lettering and stuff up from Transformers filmin. It was pretty cool. And as for no cameras on casino property... I got some in the parking garage and on the roof of the parking garage! :D

Lucky! By the time I had my tripod setup I was getting taser'd and told to move along.

Point and shoot camera phone! hahaha But there was a guy pullin up to say somethin, but he was on the other side of the fence, so I just sped off. lol

Here are some more for the NEPA people:

Good Places for Photo Shoots
 

So I have been looking around for some good places to shoot pics of my car, and now that I have found some I am realizing that some other people may be having trouble finding spots to go also.
So if you have any really good spots that you shoot photos at, list them here!
Couldn't find anything else like this so I hope it helps out

Theres some cool abandoned factorys in south nj if youre willing to take a little bit of a drive

I remember seeing a thread with tons of spots a while back

Yeah I spent about 15-20 min looking for it but couldn't find anything.. if you can link id love it

Anyway:
The back parking lot of the Springfield Target is pretty good, It has some rock walls, and some trees with graffiti, it can be a really nice scenery background depending on the angle that you shoot at.

old factory in ambler

explore. get lost. you will find great things.

Say you're out driving somewhere, running errands, whatever, look around. You may find some place interesting by accident. I've done this a bunch of times. Plus, half the fun is going out and finding the spots

I posted up this thread way back but it never really took off. It was suppose to be a thread where we could all post up our interesting spots to shoot at for others to reference.

theres a good place in conshohocken when you get over the bridge after getting off 476. make a right at the first light then a left at the next 2 lights. parking garage with good lighting and loading docks
