I'm always stuck for ideas when I want to take some nice snaps of the car and always end up taking pics at the Teesside Ind. Est like below







Any ideas of some good places to take pics in the area and would be great to see some posted? wink

That's has to be a wind-up?

Judging by your photo's, you have the skills, but may be lacking a little creativity?

Just outside Middlesbrough, to the south, you have North Yorkshire with its stunning coastline, moorland, hills, National Park.

Even in Middlesbrough it's self, use a little creativity for juxtaposition.

How about using the infinity bridge when it's illuminated and reflecting in the Tees.
How about the chemical works or ICI flare stacks for the industrial/blade runner look?
Long exposure shot of a stunning car parked up with the evening night life going about it business (people, revellers, passing head/tail lights, static street lighting/signage).

There are loads of possibilities, just go out there and have a play...

Certainly not a wind up....

Yes creativity is not a strong point hence looking for inspiration...

Will take a look at those suggested areas to see if there are places to safely park and get great shots of the car with great backgrounds!

Try outside the Golden Gates @ Wynyard Hal, took some great ones of my last couple of cars there prior to advertising them. South Gare is a good spot especially if you get a moody sky or with SSI in the background.

Topgear have been filming the BMW i8 up at Blakey Ridge this week. If it's good enough for them...

I know your struggle with finding new locations in the area but they do exist. Best to just go looking and see what works.

Couple that I've used that I liked include this one, which is in the town centre behind the Pig Iron pub (access it on the road that runs from the cross roads near the train station where the club Slam/Absolute is.



And also under the A19, accessed on a road just on the left after you've gone over Newport bridge heading towards Portract.

There's a similar spot just up Stockton Rd, near Macmillan Academy.

Don't forget the Transporter Bridge from both sides... and there's Dinosaur Park as well, which you can get in shot from the car park if you're patient.

Before they closed it, Acklam Hall on Hall Drive was a good spot and if you want to risk it, you could drive onto the grass on the Avenue of Trees opposite.



Car Park behind Sporting Lodge is Ok, as there are some trees and stuff behind and it's often empty.



Gisborough Hall is good too, you can park on the road at the front

Top of Carlton Bank good too
