Little challenge for the Kent/Essex lot


Dan23

Recommended Posts

Idea is taken straight from the midlands idea. So basically I was thinking we should do a little shoot around a few locations in either Kent or Essex or both. I can supply my camera skills as anyone else who has a camera. Would be best at the weekend as most are free and I'm thinking for around a months time (12th march), then the weather should have warmed up slighty and we will get more daylight.

What I need is some people to put in ideas of places to go, ideally a mixture or under cover, outside, great views etc, what sort of time, so I.e day time/night time.

the Midlands thread wasn't put in the 'meets' section... :D

Ummm, i'm not too sure about places in Essex/Kent, but would be interested to find out what people suggest.

There is a little pay and display car park just next to South Woodford tube station that i've been to a few times to photograph my bikes.

Not really big enough for more than a few cars though.

I can't think of places other than carparks. Only place I can think of is I've seen some pics of cars with the Dartford crossing in the background which look pretty sweet. Gillingham Football Club? Lol. Erm... Chatham historic dockyard. Fremlin Walk... Maidstone Crown Court. Sorry man, my area's a shithole.

see i like gritty places for photos, adds a certain element to the picture, old office blocks work well too, as do underground car parks. you generally want more urban areas for cars rather than natural landscapes imo, but like i say its open for suggestions, i will go wherever people wanna go :)

Dockyards make good places for HDR photos :D

Was going to suggest Chatham dockyard,if the Essex contingent want to travel that far/risk entering the Medway Towns :D

If they thought Essex was bad... :)

OK underground car parks... The Lockmeadow in Maidstone (where the odeon is) has a big one which is always empty and actually kinda creepy. I went down there for a drunken piss and it feels really rapey. There's probably some graffiti down there too, not certain though. Chatham dockyard seems like a good idea. Ooooh there's a wooded area next to my old school in Maidstone, might be cool getting some night shots with the woods in the background. And there's also the dogging spots which are in wooded areas. Oh there's old smashed up buildings round St Peter's St way, thesherv must know what I'm talking about. Those horrible buildings near Maidstone East overlooking the river...

There are some old abandoned and derelict warehouses in Grays, about a 10 min drive from Thurrock Services. I'm fairy sure they are under security, but it may be possible to seek permission to use the site for a couple of hours?

sounding like we need to sort out a mini road trip for this, maybe starting around Essex then moving onto Kent :)

also if anyone can get to these places and take some little pics with/without their car so we can see whats about that would be a great help :D

Lol check out the rapey carpark man, it's trippy lol. It's at the rear lockmeadow car park. Go to the rear carpark, then go into the sheltered carpark, then go to the end where the randomly placed vending machines are and there'll be the entrance to the rapepark. Don't go alone though!

So yeah, my contributions are the rapey carpark in Maidstone, Chatham dockyard in Chatham obviously and the dogging spots. Like fuck am I going to the rapey carpark and the dogging spots on my own to take pics tho :lol:
