I live in Suburbia, I haven't seen what I consider an interesting location in well over a month any ideas appreciated.

Also here is a chance to show off some of your interesting location photographs to inspire otheres or a few interesting shots of a mundane location as a means of approaching the coomon place ina unique manner.

This is by far my best location yet

 

This one was shot in the parking lot of the lab I use, Main Photo in Santa Ana, with my Lomo LC-A, a point and shoot film cam.


Although it was a pretty windy day with sand blowing all over the place, I tried keeping the D70 protected.
This was at Huntington State Beach.

One "good" location - Ortega Highway here in SoCal



Making the most of a location - the parking structure at the Palace Station (AMVIV)

 

Thanks for sharing these great pics.

 

I have a favorite place to shoot here in Austin. Lots of you have probably already seen these, but these are my two favorite:






The location is an otherwise boring parking garage in Austin .

 

Juan, I didn't realize a Lomo was so sharp. I've been toying (get it? wahahaha) with the idea of getting a Holga and, for some reason, I've always thought a Lomo was the same sort of thing.

Really nice shots!

Mark,

Lomo LC-As are at there best when you use the "infinity" setting, unless you're a good judge of distance.

Holgas are cool. Just make sure you get plenty of black gaffer's tape!

Interesting. Thanks, Juan! If I get a Holga, I'm probably going to get a modded Holga from Randy Smith. Nice guy, too. I emailed him a question and, five minutes later, my phone rang and it was him. He had looked at my web site, got my phone number, and called to answer all my questions.

No bad photo can come of being literally above the clouds:

 

Dave,

Wassup with the PW in this picture? It almost looks like it's hiking it's rear leg like a dog to pee on a bush!

Is that an artifact of the photo, an intended effect or just some suspension wonkiness?

 

I think it's a combination of the sloping ground and the wide angle lens.

 

Lots of PP made this parking garage an acceptable location last night, but if you look closely it still needs more work done to it.

 

applogies for the carpness of the image was taken on my phone as my cameras batterys had just gone but was too nice a pic to waste

 

Half full parking lot a beach/park

 

Are we looking for special locations, or common locations that anyone can find and use for good pictures?

For the second, parking garages are always good, and should be easy to find.

Similar to parking garages are large, blank walls:


Light is probably as big a factor in getting a good shot as location... so scout out somplace that will get sunlight either early morning or late evening, then use it.

For special locations, the "floating bridge" in Brookfield, Vermont (bad picture from an interesting location):

 

Parking garages really are quite versatile; here's one I got lucky with recently:

I guess the consensus is that if you don't have a decent locale, concentrate on lighting and details of the car, and exclude the background.

 

great shot

 

Awesome photo! (I might have to steal that for my background)

It reminds me of one of the "official" MINI photo wallpapers that I got from their website a few years ago. It has an EB MINI sitting in what looks like a warehouse
with an open roof and light shining down on the car.

 

WOW! beautiful! now I gotta try and do this one in 3d!

 

LOL LUDICROUS SPEED!

 

Hey! That's not a MINI!

Great shot anyway though.

 

heh I thought the topc was location... those purple lights are speed pass... IE location...TOLL BOOTH .... HA HA!!! LOL

 

3d?

Following Jray's suggestion, I set it as my desktop wallpaper and I'm actually a bit disappointed; the overhead light and the reflection are kind of distracting ... I'm going to have to figure out how to deal with that, because I'd like to print this one out and hang it.

Ha! This is the Flickr page for that image. I was just messing around with a new toy; the MINI's been nestled in the garage for the last few days. But any location can be a good one if it's colorful and blurry enough!

 

yeah 3d like 3d animation.... that used to be my job... once apon a time before the mini world sucked me up...

 

Somehow that explains a lot...
