Crossle Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 So, lets say someone wants to go out around the Columbus area to shoot some pictures of their ride. Where are your "spots" if you would like to share them with the group? I mean sure there could be the "obvious" like Hoover Dam or the Easton Parking Garage, but where else do you all go take your pictures? One spot I am going to go check out today is the old Ohio train museum over near Maxton Chevrolet off 161. A place I have known about for years, and been to numerous times, but never tried to shoot pictures of my cars there. Granted I am a "point and shoot" camera guy, but I certainly like neat back drops for my shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 I love the rolling pics better than the standing still variety, would be cool to merge the two, a cool backdrop while moving. Hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berto Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 I like the tunnel right next to the spaghetti warehouse (factory?) across from COSI. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/06%20Civic/Civic5_06-15-06.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/06%20Civic/Civic6_06-15-06.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fynz Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Downtown parking garages can give a good urban backdrop. I personally feel like urban suits sedans and european cars best, but I still shot mine near the leveque tower. http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i169/1fynzx/IMG_1048.jpg http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i169/1fynzx/IMG_1076.jpg For sports cars, though, I think a great countryside works best, especially american cars. Seems to just convey the open air, warm summer feeling that goes along with the cars(although right now this isn't really an option ) http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i169/1fynzx/IMG_1162.jpg And using a rolling rig http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i169/1fynzx/IMG_1213.jpg Good god spring cant come soon enough.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff1647545513 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 There are grain silos here in London that have train tracks right by them that trains run on quite a bit and an old train station right by them too. Don't have any pics with a train going by or the station but here are the silos. http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Jduffey/247758959_photobucket_35997_.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Jduffey/247758959_photobucket_50854_.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Jduffey/247758959_photobucket_50855_.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) Unfortunately this has to be a shameless plug for my employer but my coworker and I just spent 4.5 hours last friday doing this with a point and shoot at night: Protip: Easton is DESERTED by 1130 when its cold out and security didn't mind us blocking part of the street for close to 1/2 hour while we took photos. Locations include: Easton (various, but by Nordstrom is very well lit) 92nd Airborn parking lot (by CMH) CMH Arrivals lane (also didnt mind us taking photos for a short time) various alleys on campus in front of RPAC/near Ohio Stadium Iuka(off 4th) and Walhalla (off Indianola) streets The CAP (Hyde Park, Greek Orthodox Church) The arch near Nationwide Arena Northwestern Mutual (near where casino was supposed to be) - there is also a lot with about a dozen SEL and S class benzes, as well as an old Imperial, a Continental, and an old Caddy Confluence Park Huntington Park along Marconi blvd behind what I think is the Police HQ, near the Santa Maria COSI/Genoa Park (obviously) http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5180/5458915500_4db47943cc.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5134/5458923798_c8a588ab2f.jpg We'll be going to do some daytime photos this upcoming Sunday (3/6) in the FIAT, will post those when we do so.

Yasser-Hanbali Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 personally, i think what makes a great car photo is having a very clean and well taken care of car. and putting it by something that is dirty or just beat up. for example some place on campus find a wall covered in "street art" have the right angle and snap away i know there is a few boarded up building by COSI that make for good shot. also capturing the small details of your car can make a photo, find the focal points that make the car "pop" http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww239/v8killa7/_DSC0031-2.jpg?t=1298766193 http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww239/v8killa7/_DSC0025-2.jpg?t=1298766193 http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww239/v8killa7/_DSC0366-1.jpg?t=1298766314 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to level it off, and remove the wires for you though Love the Bokeh of the 1.4 Did well for you even on a crop camera. Bumped the crop a bit too. http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/132808914/original.jpg Sig Material Worthy. http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/132808935/original.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
