Default The Bay Area's best spots for photo shoots?

I'd like some ideas. My roommate wants me to take some pics of his Supra as soon as the widebody kit goes on. Anything from natural scenery to nice views to nice buildings to hellish graffiti'd ghettos will work. Here's what she looks like at the moment...

Am I seeing this right, is that Supra right hand drive?

Good place to shoot her? Lets see, Crissy Fields with the GG Bridge in the back ground comes to mind. Or Alameda Point where they just had the Taste of Lexus event, with the S.F. Skyline in the back ground. Not sure how accessable it is though. Treasure Island. Santana Row. Damn! I better wash the car and take some pics. LOL

Wow rich is alive!

Marin Headlands, Ft. Point, Lincoln Park on the Marin/Peninsula side. East Bay/South Bay...Mt. Hamilton (Livermore side), Berkeley Marina, former Alameda NAS as Will mentioned (watch out for Alameda PD though), Treasure Island (watch out for SFPD). Ghetto.....Hunters Pointe, some parts of Mission District, Essex St (Downtown behind San Francisco Centre) and the list goes on and on and on.

well the kit hit the port of long beach last friday so it's a matter of him calling around and finding the best install/paint rate. right now he's still deciding if he wants to mold the kit on or rivet it on- a la jgtc look.

Oyster Point Marina is another place with good views. Pretty quiet on weekends.

Wow I love the engine work on that Supra. If you want good places to take some pictures there are some in San Jose around the Evergreen area. Ive seen alot of nice spots up in those hills. There is this nice spot at the very top where you can park and see the entire city. Another great spot would be up in the foothills near Piedmont in San Jose. They are just neighborhoods with mansions the size of huge apartment buildings with private driveways. I love driving by those castles.

Berkeley MArina, ceasar chavez park, killer view of the bay, and golden gate bridge, and san fran in the background. My camera sucked, but great backdrop at night.

Sorry to bring back this old thread but can you really park on the lawn there? Don't even know where that is! --^
