This looks like a real interesting place to shoot - would anyone be up for a shoot with me? (I have done some car photography). My idea would be to shoot in the night/dark and use off camera lighting techniques - just need some subjects to work with!

ive put images from my last shoot here: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0...

I'd be keen if you wanted to shoot my TVR Chimaera - Been planning to take a trip up to this spot. PM me if so, although not taxing car til 1st April so have to be after then.

Cheers

Never come accross this wall before - it is awesome!
Some incredible talent behind those. What's the story behind it? IS it a council supported thing?

I was out in Ibiza in the summer, had a walk around Ibiza town for our final day waiting for the plane and that place is full of genius artwork.

I live in St Neots, less than half a mile from the bridge so if anyone wants a meet up or a cuppa, let me know. My car's in my profile but only of it's not raining.

I've not been to the bridge before and don't know the area, just wondering if you knew how busy the road is and how safe it is to park up a car and take photos at the location? i.e. Speed limit of road and visibility (e.g. is it after a blind bend that people drive too fast around?!)

Thanks

It's very safe, the road is reasonably wide and isn't heavily used - so long as you don't park across the road you'd be ok.

Speed limit is 30 though it is worth noting that it's the border between coming out of the town and heading into the country so people can and do fly through there at times. You should be OK providing you don't do anything stupid like park across the road.
Obviously be aware of peak traffic times such as early evenings when people are making their way home from work etc. I live a minutes drive from there so know it well.

Sounds good - thanks to all that have responded I look forward to hearing from you in the coming weeks when you are available.

In the meantime if anyone wants to shoot with me nearer to me (in Luton, Beds) would love to hear from you.

My abilities with a camera aren't great, but I took a few photos last year on a trip up there.
