Default Photoshoot locations in the Bay area

Norcal family,

I need your suggestions on good places to do a photoshoot. I have some places in mind, but I'd like to hear your ideas. When I shoot the car it will be early morning or in the evening. I'll be doing the shoot in the next 2 days.

Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

mountains, trees, landscape. Something worthy of being on a calendar or ad.

Thanks guys for all the suggestions. I'm trying to stay within a 60 mile radius of the East Bay.

Chris I really like the north side of the GG bridge, where we had last years Cruise meet.

Lot's of good shots there of the ocean and city on a clear day.

Everyone takes shots from the Presidio. It is an awesome location, but kinda played out for me.

Per kickin8's example, It would be a change to get some shots of SF from the other side bridge.

He also pointed out Treasure Island. I like that location as well.

I need to do a "Last Time" Photo shoot of the wifey's car some time soon. I wouldn't mind hooking up with ya.

I smell a mini meet in the works.

Thanks for the suggestions of the GGB. Glen I have to do these shots either tonight, tomorrow or Friday at the latest. So I'm under the gun big time.

*Hick's Road* in Campbell



I was messing around with the camera, didn't actually take any nice pics...my other buddies were doing that...but the area is down by cupertino...a little far for you...

Alameda Naval Base is also really nice...but might be a bit far as well?

If you go to Alameda Naval Base, make sure to install your front plate, not have any tint, no bulbs out, no loud exhaust and obey all traffic laws.

There was an incident a while back where the Alameda PD snagged some Is300.net members and even towed away 2 cars, a father and son act on top of that !

They were at the Naval Base as well, doing nothing wrong and when they were already headed out and about to enter the tube into Oakland, they were apparently followed and pulled over.


Nuff Said

George those are some nice shots. I may consider going up there. If I do I'll be there really early before it gets too bright. I am also thinking about driving up to Mt. Diablo, but I have to scout that out as well today.
