DC Area Photo Spots

[mistertripps]

Anyone have some good suggestions for places where you can park your MINI and get good pictures in the area? I'm looking for interesting scenery or backdrops that will allow enough time to set up a good shot without having to rush back to the car.

There are a lot of places in the area.

 

Try some of these spots.......

 

• East Potomac park, early in the morning.

• George Washington Parkway

• Couple good spots along Rock Creek Park

• Around Georgetown area near Washington Habor

• Some old building along Connecticut Ave.

• Night shots around Pentagon City mall and Arlington's court house area

• Around Key Bridge

• etc.

Suggest to spend a day drive...drive and drive around town. Lots of hidden photo op spots in town.

 

Hope this help.

Thanks Maxi - I'll check some of those out.

Haynes(spelling?) point in dc is a nice spot. Time it right and you can get a plane in the backround from national airport.

All, I'll really like to get some updated artwork / pics to dress up our forum, so if you have something, let me or one of the board members know. Those banners at the top are quite old :laugh:

 

Especially some stuff with a "DC" theme to them... but, any DCMM MINI stuff is cool. ...also, notice the width to height aspect ratio.

Hey all,

 

I was lucky to win the photo session with Craig at the MTTB5 raffle. I am trying to find some possible locations. I was thinking older European architecture (i.e. row-houses, cobblestone) Alexandria of course comes to mind but always heavily trafficked by people and vehicle.

 

Anyone have any good idea, I am open to all suggestions.

 

Thanks all

We've done some photo shoots at Lorton prison in the past. It's got some great rustic background options. Ali can probably give you a link of some she's taken...

If it'll help, I won't lock you into "one and done" so we can try a couple of places if you have ideas.

 

If it's okay with you, Sundays work better for me as I am usually out in the middle of the woods (hunting) on Saturdays.

The prison was a really good spot, the club photo was the first event I brought watson to after getting him.

 

Ali took some awesome photos, I have one as my desktop at work.
