Use this thread to post locations of intrest for shooting photograhy.

One of my favorites is Oakland Park Cemetery. Here is a shot from a year or so ago when I had my K10D that I sold to Korn313.



As you can see it is post-processed 'a little', but the architecture there is stunning.

Edit 10-21-2009:
Another photo from this past weekend:

Don't have any pictures yet, but the Kroq St. Bridge is on my list for places to shoot. Its a little hit or miss, but you can usually find some really interesting graffiti (if you are into that sort of thing).

I'll shoot just about anything, but I lean towards the industrial/urban/gothic side. Basically stuff that is not considered 'the norm'.

Nice shots man! Just a little post production eh?

Yeah, just a 'little'

Korn313 and I were talking last night and he brought up the idea of local car shows. We're trying to see if there are any coming up soon and he or I will post the information here.

OT: Korn313 will introduce himself shortly, his internet has been down.

I have never been to a car show before. Could be interesting. I had a frind who stayed with us a couple of years ago while she worked (modeling) the Lexus booth at a car show.

I have a couple of car shows that are going to be held in buford if any one is interested. I love to shot cars and landscape photography

There are also random events like the one I ran across (more like drove through) this weekend that can give photo opportunities. the link blelow is some of the photos I took of the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk:

Nice work!

A friend of my wife's saw some of my portraits and wants me to shoot her son's graduation photos. Does anyone have any recommendations for locations? The Vines Park (or whatever it is) in Lilburn is a thought. Any other suggestions? Cool railroad backdrops on the east side (I think they live in Gwinnet)?

Historic Buford has a rail line going through it. Duluth does as well but the buildings behind the rail line are hidden by trees. You could also try the Southestearn Railrod Museum in Duluth.

As far as other backgrounds, you could take a drive up to Lake Lanier's Van Pugh Park or any of the other parks and get a lake background since it's finally back up to a full level again.

Anywhere up and down DeKalb Ave is a great place to shoot, honestly. Train depots, old brick buildings, ever-changing graffiti scenery... the weird teddy bears impaled outside a scrapyard...
