Scenic Photo Backgrounds

[SMURF22]

I'm after a few awesome places to take a few pics of my bike. Please post locations?

PLEASE POST SOME PICS OF YOUR RECOMENDED LOCATIONS. Thanks

NOTE: This thread is for PERTH LOCATIONS ONLY PLEASE!!! Simply a guide for WA riders to go for a ride and snap some good pics of their bikes.

Looking for something along the lines of:

• Abandoned warehouses (that doesnt involve trespassing)
• Graffiti Art Walls
• Bridge Underpasses
• Background Scenery
• etc?

Cheers

Boat ramp - Hillarys.

Background of Breakwater sign lights, water and boats

Like this but less angle looking straight at it from across the water. Boat ramp makes it look like you are nearly parked on top of the water.



Not "along the lines of" but best I can think of right now....

Old wool stores freo.

South Perth Foreshore, Under the narrows, East Perth Bridge walkway are generally a good place to start

i like "city" backgrounds. I don't mean a backdrop of the entire city, i mean like average life in the city. Like the strip through leederville on a busy evening, or Beaufort St or outside Cicerellos in freo just as the sun is setting and the neon lights start to stand out.

What will you be taking the photo with?

SLR/Tripod/Stand?
Phone?
Regular digital camera?

I thought that looked more like a female scarecrow's vagina....

There's some cool spots in Leederville, in the alleyways. Here's some goon on a Ninja being a ninja.

That Leederville one is great, might try there myself one day. I don't have any bike example shots but from a few car cruise photoshoots below.

An industrial look?

And a bit of a boring one but can get reasonable results

I took these recently when it was around 6deg C, but now it is only 2 ;-)

It may be too far for you to come, Surrey in southern England.

The ZigZag trail up near Kalamunda, Looks good at night overlooking all the night lights.

Perhaps consider river bridges as well as road.
