There are times when we all want to get some good car shots but aren’t actually going anywhere scenic. Perhaps we’ve just spent hours polishing or fitted some new bits etc.

I realise we live all over the country and abroad, but there are some of us reasonably close by, and we may have some good tips for each other.

It could be a great view of course, but just as easily a lovely freshly tarmaced car park, or perhaps some brightly coloured shutter doors, or something architectural. You get my drift....

I have taken to driving to Heart of the Shires Shopping Village NN7 4LB. Good tarmac, land falling away gently, reasonable background etc. Trouble is it’s a 46 mile round trip! Here’s an example of a friend’s loan car there:

Can anyone recommend any good locations?

One of my favourites, not far from T-Tonys overlooking the Trent Valley. Did have to go down into Field but worth it for the effect.

Truly awesome shots, but do you mind sharing the exact locations for others nearby where possible please?

And tonight, Radio Lincolnshire reports 230 Zed 3's spotted at Thorganby at sunset. Early speculation reports it's a bizarre religious cult!

Burton Dassett Hills. Several locations there but weekends tend to be busy.



Always keeping my eye out for locations myself. My signature image was taken on the A444.
Heart of the Shires village is just a couple of miles from where I work. You are just a couple of miles from me too.

Yeah, and the snow ploughs are on their way =))=))

Tony.

ps. It's a lovely place, especially on a summer evening, even riding in an oil burner.;)

Good call - I’d forgotten about Burton Dassett! As you say, it can be very busy. A sunrise or sunset there later in the year might be good.
