Default I want to shoot my S2000...

Hey guys,

I enjoy a bit of photography every now and then (Motorsport etc, and some landscape although not found the time of late) but I'm wondering what the best location would be to shoot a Moonrock S2000? I've been trying to think of a few ideal locations lately but not really been able to come up with much and I dont really fancy just taking a pic in a car park or on the street!

We have quite a few beaches around here and some industrial/factory areas. Also easy access to lots of countryside. Would love access to a quarry as I think that location could be quite interesting.

If you have any arty pics, please share to give me a few ideas

Cheers
James

Think it depends on the camera/lens really. Or what sort of a look you're going for. I like my Lake District photos. But I also like some industrial ones.
Beaches are good too.

Hmm. Think this is all down to personal preference really. Hurry up and post them though. Haven't seen enough arty S2000 shots recently.

I think some of the most interesting ones are with the car in its normal background (the driveway)

It shows the car it the habitat where it spends most of its time.

The trick is to make the background look good (even though it might not be) so all the focus is on the car.

I like taking pics late in the evening, using a tripod of course with a small arperture and slow shutter speed.

Light dependant they usually turn out ok:

Oh yeah, I forgot to say, Moonrock is basically grey. So it doesn't really matter where you shoot it. It will still look grey.

At least it will look the same in greyscale shots.

That goes for Silverslow too....
