Need some help finding good spots to do some shoots. Post em up please...

 

Meldrum Bar Park in Gladstone, OR has some good spots for river background shots. Also, that parking garage we had the meet at a couple weeks ago had a good Portland skyline back drop.

 

Whoa I missed a meet?!?! That sucks!!! I need to check in with the NW section more often. When's the next one? PS: Thanks for the info I'll have to check that out. I just took some photos at the riverfront in Portland but had a problem with strays wondering in the picture...

 

Yes, you did! We only had 3 Zs and 4 G35s but it was a good opportunity to network.

Meldrum is a great spot for river front backgrounds. It's rarely busy; especially during the colder months. I, definitely, recommnd.

 

57 views and only one person responded? Come on lemme know your secret spots!!!!

 

bump still searching... Anybody? Maybe someone knows where some good graffiti art is to take pics infront of?

 

Lol, man, still no one to respond?? What part of Portland are you in? I know mostly of river background shots.

 

More towards Gresham but I work in Vancouver and most of my frineds live in Portland so not too far away. I know it's depressing that only you have given a suggestion. thanks again BTW.

 

sorry i wish i had an idea for you. my camera sucks for pics anyways, so ive never really looked around here.

 

It's cool. I found an awesome spot near the river but I'd like a little more urban setting.

 

I'm sure you could find something in NW Portland's industrial district.

 

There is a view spot on SW Terwilliger Blvd neer OHSU and Duniway Park, where you can pull off and get a great shot with the city of Portland and Mt Hood in the background.
There is also a spot up by the Washington Park Zoo on, I believe, Washington Park Dr. (can't remember the name, but it is the road from the Zoo through the Rose Gardens) that also has a great shot with Portland and Mt Hood in the background. But it is a popular spot for camera shots and is the one that is used on a lot of postcards and calendars.

 

Thanks I'll check that out too! Any spots for my car to sit in the foreground or is it mainly a view of the city? My buddy lived off Northrup by Legacy Hospital and we use to take drives up into the rich neighorhoods and saw some pretty amazing views. I might have to go back up there...

 

These are spots with parking pullouts that would work to take a picture of your car and have the city in the background.
I haven't been up there in a couple of years, but they use to work great for those kinds of pictures.
There are several viewpoints with parking up in the West Hills that overlook the city.
This Saturday is suppose to be nice, so it might be a great day to get some pictures up there.
