Sawyer Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) Ok heres a rough plan I knocked together. Click the link below: My Ideas So Far Start off at Chase Gate Then Onto Wall Roman Site Then Rugely Power Station Then Brindley Heath in Cannock Chase Then Blithbury Resovoir Then Shugbrough Hall Then Stafford Tech Park Finishing at Stafford Castle Works out 41 miles and roughly £12 in fuel. Obviously this isn't anything set in Stone. Just my ideas to get the ball rolling. Please suggest any places and look on google makes to make is feasible (using the link above) I feel i've hijacked Canons idea a bit, sorry mate. If you think it's poo then feel free to tell us. Is it too many places? Edited February 2, 2011 by Sawyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booth Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 That sounds like a plan to me, only one thing is that I dont fancy a photoshoot day if its going to be raining all day though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon4pics Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Only one thing to point out. This all depends on what time of day you intend on starting this, and also what kind of photos you guys are after, because by the time we have travelled to each location and took photos, then light will soon be disappearing, so if you guys are wanting night shots as well then thats fine with me Anybody have a million candlelight torch btw..... could come in very useful for the night photos if were going for that. Also are we wanting group car photos or are you guys wanting your cars done individually at each location? Sorry to get all techy but I'd just like to know what im getting myself into so I can plan for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Poole Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Ive got a good torch and a flash gun. Its the same torch i use for light painting i do so il bring it along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booth Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I think it depends on how many of us go, cause we cant really do 7 indivual shots at each location cause we'll still be there until next week. Unless we decide who wants pics at each location or something. Ive got a torch at home which is as powerful as a car headlight (Liam called it my portable sun at JAE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we decide who wants pics at each location or something.Ive got a torch at home which is as powerful as a car headlight (Liam called it my portable sun at JAE) I was gonna suggest that, maybe just have one or two of our cars photographed at a specific location. Everyone bring your torches and yea Dave bring ya flash gun..... I really need to get one of those lol. Also if all goes to plan weather wise etc, I will not be posting up the pictures as quickly as I did for the mids meet, ( I am currently starting to study a course in professional photography and can hopefully use this event as a good place to get some much better results for you guys and myself, so if I do take a good few days please be patient with me ) Edited February 2, 2011 by Canon4pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawyer Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I'm bringing a camera too, it's a Canon as well. Digital SLR something or rather. I'm no idea how to use it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lta Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 If I can I'll tag along can't make any promises, I don't even have a torch! I'm sure someone will keep me posted lest I forget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudnuts Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hi guys this could finally be the oppotunity to meet you all yay! I have a couple of other suggestions... Tamworth Castle (Dont know how close you can get with a car but worth a shot) The Moat House Restaurant Tamworth Also Tamworths Ten pin bowling alley has a subway leading to its car park full of funky graffiti where alot of mags have photographed cars. Seen some of the pics but have none to show sorry,they look amazing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawyer Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Yeah I know that tunnel! Thats a good place. Wall is a no go. You can't get near it in a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon4pics Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 You cant get close to Tamworth castle by car as far as I'm aware. I think there are probably too many locations tbh, espescially seeing the amount of people that seem to want in on this one event. We need to pick some definite places we want to go now and then work out the best route, time to start etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon4pics Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 These are the ones I think should definitely be on the route with maybe one or two other places inbetween, but: Rugeley Power Station Shugbrough Hall ( Is this place going to be accessible on a sunday?) looks like a great place for photos if it is... Then Stafford Tech Park (better at night) I'd rather keep the amount of places down if your wanting good photos as a comeback, as it wont simply be a case of drive to each location, take a couple snaps and move on...... needs a bit more prepping than that lol. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudnuts Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Im happy with where ever we go,its really just an oppotinity for me to get on my first meet Weather isnt looking to good though, so if it is raining the cars are going to be covered in crap.

Dave Poole Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Sean il be bringing my camera and tripod aswell so atleast we can get a few more shots having more cameras different angles etc we can get some light painting done aswell. Get everyone running around there cars with torches looking like fools. But atleast the pictures look good because of it at the end lol couple of examples of my light painting.
