Canon4pics Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 As you may or may not have figured from my username, I love taking pictures of all kinds of subjects, but I'm gonna stick to cars for purpose of this thread. Basically as I dont have a good knowledge of the Midlands area as a whole I would like people to post up locations, with the postcode and maybe even an example picture of places which would make a good backdrop to photograph a car. Then once we have ourselves a bit of a list, I think it would be good to set some dates up for arranging some proper photoshoots. So, if you think you can help, post up those locations.

kar1 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Sounds a good idea. I don't really know any places, but have seen a few shoots of cars done at magna in sheffield/rotherham. Old steel works turned into a bit of a museum type place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canon4pics Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Well the chase kinda gets boring, Lichfield Cathedral is on the to do list lol, chasewater, its not much of a backdrop and theres always too many cars around, I have thought about the Rugeley powerstation before but again where can you park the cars to get some good shots? I'm trying to get some ideas of places a little further our from us Sawyer, but keep em coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felfy Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Hi Canon4pics - Happy New Year Funny you should mention those locations...... Lichfield/Stafford/Cosford Shropshire Didn't get 'out & about' as much as I would have liked last year (Scenic locations are few & far between in the Midlands) Will hopefully do more miles in 2011 Edited January 7, 2011 by Felfy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon4pics Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Don't know how I have not seen those threads before, you got some good pics there mate. Didnt realise you were so close actually. I agree about the scenic comment though, but what about some good industrial places, or abandoned warehouses, anybody know of any?

Dorris Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Maybe a little out your way but Rutland water LE15 8PX throws up plenty of opportunities; we are actually classes as east midland. Just an idea, Dorris Edited January 7, 2011 by Dorris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felfy Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Why not use Googlemaps Street View? Bin Lorry (805 x 45 x R170 ) Tyre Lichfield Cathedral Blithfield Reservoir Rugeley Power Station Etc, etc Edited January 7, 2011 by Felfy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon4pics Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) The problem with using google street view is if you dont know where you want to look, you wont find what you want. So to get things going I've started a list view of places mentioned so far lichfield cathedral WS13 7LD Rugeley Powerstation WS15 1PR Belper Mill DE56 1YD Rutland water LE15 8PX Magna museum S60 1DX Carsington Water DE6 1ST (misses just told me about this place) Keep the ideas coming.
