I need to practice on my new camera setup.

Does anyone have a few good accessible areas that are ideal for photoshoots? I'm not talking about just any parking structure that you can find at any mall/shopping center.

Preferably, somewhere that's a little isolated yet has a great background/scene.

Thanks!

Henry, wanna practice on my car?

 

henry u can practice on my car too

 

I just require a $75 dollar down payment

On a serious note, if I can find a decent spot, I'll let you guys know.

Chris, that spot looks awesome. But how accessible is it?

 

Not accessible at all. From the east there is a gravel road that leads up to it from Burbank blvd. I ride bikes and we shot a video part here. The gravel road is mostly for joggers, when I visited we had to jump a fence to get to it. I have however seen car commercials from Saturn or something with the cars sitting in front of the damn. Idk where the west side of the damn (the side that's pictured) leads to.

 

u can get to it from burbank blvd just before the frontage road along the 405S. i've driven down there before...guess you just have to be lucky.

 

You got your car into the dam Chris? So I guess the access is lowered friendly (the LA river is not as we know....haha!). I know we had talked about trying to do a shoot there before.

 

drove over after Cal told me about the spot. wouldn't work well for pix of my car...no contrast

 

^Very cool.

Henry if you shoot there just be prepared to deal with police, park rangers, etc. I get hassled by police and security guards all the time. Get in, shoot and get out, haha.

 

There should be some decent spots in the Santa Monica Mountains.

Thanks everyone.

Any more suggestions? I would prefer it to be within the SFV or within 10-20 minutes of it.
