where there’s smoke there’s forum fire
I was wondering if for some reason I were to visit you for a day of shooting pictures, where would we go
I would take you Banff, Alberta you could spend days there camping and taking pictures, some are without any doubt tourist traps, but even they can be a treasure if you pick the right time of the day
Pete
That would depend. Are these going to be human form photos and would you be the model or am I? ;^)
We would probably go to Hocking Hills...in mid Ohio. Not much around it, other than untouched nature in its finest. Last week was the prime time for the fall colours. But winter has just as much to offer. They have some photos on their website, but they hardly do it justice to what the area has to offer.
We would go do Hocking Hills in Mid Ohio. It is surrounded only by untouched nature in its finest. The prime time for fall colors have past, but winter brings just as much beauty. They have some photos on their website, but they hardly do the attraction justice.

Yo, PB. When I'm home I'm in Columbus. Where you at?
I know that my post included this funny squirrel picture, but that lake is actually a fantastic place to drop by for a bit of picture taking.
Hint, look at my name, maybe that could make you think of a place that would get my camera going
Pete
Hi PB: I am lucky to have been in Ohio with full fall colors, I was staying east of Cleveland in a place called Chagrin Falls a few years ago
Pete
@soap: I actually live in Warren, OH...just north of Youngstown. I actually have some family in Upper Arlington in Columbus that I visit occasionally.
@bmxdad: Chagrin Falls! I work just about 15 minutes away from there in Solon, OH.
It's funny what a small world it is!
I went to college (the first time around) at Hiram. I dated a girl or two from Warren, familiar with the area.
Errr .. bmxdad.. That picture doesnt belong to you does it? I think you should credit it back to the owners of the pic?
If you are coming to this part of the world I would say go on a bit more and go to new zealand (aka middle earth).
Hearty, that picture has been all over the internet and the news. It's a very well know pic on the blogosphere so of course Pete didn't take it.
Yes Niko, Heartyfisher: I have no idea of who took the picture, but it was kind of fun and have been in papers everywhere, happens to be at lake Minnewanka a very nice spot in Banff: I think in New Zealand I would like to see the area where "Lord of the Rings" was filmed. Also a Friend of mine is training the New Zealand National BMX team.
Actual the Squirrel where helping the couple taking the picture and I think they used a Canon and you how they are to operate ;>)

Depending on where I'm at. If we're in NY, then it's NYC no doubt for some hardcore street stuff, most likely in lower manhattan, as well as brooklyn.
if you visit me while I'm living in Finland (was all last year, followed by a month this upcoming summer, and I will probably move there later on), then it could be Helsinki for more urban stuff, or any of the 100,000+ lake shores in the country. Or Lapland.
I went to school in Delaware, Ohio. Hocking Hills was fantastic. Haven't been there in 30+ years, but I need to get back there before the end of time.
If you visited me, we'd either go to New Orleans or the Atchafalaya Swamp - depending on your photo style.
If one of you visits me, make sure to bring ALL of your gear with you.
All of your Nikons belong to me!!! Muahhaha
It depends on where you catch me. Most of the time, I'm in San Diego. However, if you visit the San Francisco Bay Area, at times I'm there, such as next week. Then every once in a while I may be in Seattle.
Well imagine that. I am in Sandy Eggo, Calif also.
If you visit me. What we would shoot would depend, in part, on the weather. In the morning we would check the weather and surf report; if good surf, go out in the fairly early morning to Sunset Cliffs or Wind and Sea beach areas to shoot the surfers. After an hour or two of that, we could drive 4 miles to the Cabrillo Monument on top of Point Loma. There is an old lighthouse to shoot and terrific city and bay views. After that short stop, we would make it to the San Diego Zoo for some fabulous animal shots; this Zoo is truly world class.
If we don't spend too much time at the Zoo, we can then drive east for about 60 miles to Julian. This is a small mountain gold/silver mining town with mountain views, historic old timey town buildings.
Then race back to the beach area, specifically, Pacific Beach, in time to shoot the sunset from a nice pier that gives great shots of surfers right by the pier, plus the chance to shoot north and south views of the local beach area.
And finally, put on the widest aperture lens or your flash, and stroll up Garnet St from the pier, taking shots of the local beach bars, tatto parlors, boutiques, that provide lots of cool lighting for street shooting of the extremely active night life in that area.
Had enough? If not, we wander back over to the San Diego airport and let you take some night shots of airliners landing at the airport. Really cool shots possible.
Me, I'm beat, but only have to drive 2 miles to get home. You? I'll stick you back on an airplane and take a shot of you as you pass over head taking off for parts unknown.
Now I'm tired. Night-night~

It's an old topic yes, but this is where I would take you.
Cascade Springs, near Midway Utah off the Alpine Loop.
