Cooper and I were going to go out and grab some pics this afternoon. Anyone got any recommendations for some killer spots to grab some pics of a blacked out car?

 

They must be keeping them a secret

 

I know there is a pull off as you crest a hill just before you get to Boulder on HWY 36 with a panoramic view of the Rocky Mountains. I used to see car shoots all the time when I drove out there to work. You will know it when you see it! Its a great backdrop for just about any shot really.

Hope it helps.

 

That would be Davidson Mesa

 

I wanted to do a photoshoot there for a long time but haven't been able to.

 

Yeah I like that spot too but what sucks is that Id have to drive down to superior and then flip around to get to it. I've got a good place for mountain backgrounds though. I like to find some different stuff.

 

My favorites are NCAR and Flagstaff:

 

Try to keep it in a very uncluttered location to avoid a mess of reflection in the paint. Also if you don't all ready, I'd get a CP filter. I loath shooting black cars.

 

You can come join the EuroBerge crew downtown at 6am on saturday morning. All of the Editors will be on hand taking pictures for the magazine. Email me if you want to join.

Holy cow all you guys get up early :-) I was already complaining about being at the dyno at 9am

 

dave, we're also in bed at 10

 

That's how you guys do it! See I keep getting up for these meets at 8am after going to sleep at like 2 or 3. Cars and Coffee meets are killer for me.

 

Yeah, i can understand the sunrise photo shoot i suppose. no people around and such... just hard for me to make the early morning stuff.
Autocross days are the same way...those dudes are up at dawn or earlier. Savages :-)

 

the main reason for going early is to avoid traffic. Every ride done in the afternoon has had lots of traffic.

as for places for a photo shoot, have you tried red rocks amphitheater? or Garden of the gods - kinda far, but should work. The other possibility is Roxborough park area closer and great views
