Default Ideas for the nights..

Well me and about 10 other friends wanted to go out for a cruise at night. We also want to park somewhere to take some snapshots of our cars. Any ideas of where to go? There will be 10 cars. lol.

We thought of mall / plaza parking lot as they are lit up which makes it easier for photos. But then we thought if the police saw us loitering they would bust us for that. None of us have huge houses either so we can do it at home.

We're going to attempt to meet up around 9pm. Does anyone have suggestions that won't get us in trouble?

That would be a good idea if it was just me alone taking pictures. But I don't think the owner would like seeing 10 cars parked outside and us taking pictures.

I think you should do it on an iceberg. That would make for a really cool shot. Since you didn't tell us where you live and/or post this in your regional forum, I'm not sure what is near you to make for a good backdrop.

Where do you live that cops would "bust" you for sitting in a parking lot, as opposed to just telling you to leave?

I was just goofing around.

Start keeping your eyes open for interesting architectural structures, like parking garages with big spiraling ramps.

Google your photography from your local area and see if there are any building or places that real photographers have selected, and go there for your shoots. Let someone else do the leg work on finding you a good spot
