Photo Locations

[Josh220]

Anyone have any recommendations for good places for car photos.

Ideally around Yorkshire but anywhere really seen as I get about the country quite a bit.

Done the countryside shots before so really looking for urban and industrial areas or places that are just generally interesting for good car photos.

Oh and I live in Leeds just in case anyone knows some really good places nearby.

I would say look right on your doorstep (not literally lol). I drove a fair way to a place where I thought would be good...then I tried a place 30 seconds from my house and they come out pretty well...like you say industrial buildings look good...old mills or bridges always seem to look good as well.

I found a place in Leeds once, going to have to try remember where it is, but was a bunch of abandoned houses, more like an abandoned street. Really good backdrop for some car photos I'd imagine.

If you Google Map "spring hill, adel, leeds" - this might be the right place.

Try to stay away from trees/greenary too IMO, creates too much of a contrast with the car.

Run down bulidings and industrial estates always come out well.

Is this the place? Doesn't look abandoned although the picture could be a few years old.

Yeah done green and leafy places plenty now and I'm just getting the same old pictures over and over now.

BOCM in Selby or Goole docks.

Thats if you know of them

 

[Josh220]

Goole docks is a very good shout, didn't think of that!

Sorry but what's BOCM?

BOCM used to be a factory just outside of Selby town centre.

It's the furthest point east of the factorys on that map. Max Power used it to shoot a celica last year.

Why don't you try the aire waterfront in Leeds centre?
