Good photoshoot locations?

[Cully77]

What are some good places to do some good car photoshoots? I'm in the northwest burbs, would prefer to stay local but will drive a reasonable distance too.

Thanks! Cool meeting a few people last Sunday- unfortunately I wasn't able to stay too long. Still need to upload the photos I took.

Really, nobody has any suggestions? Did I post in the wrong forum?

- Anywhere in downtown Woodstock. They also have a cool bridge (train viaduct sp?) about two blocks southeast of downtown.
- Batavia on Route 25 North of Fabian Parkway on the west side of the road. They have a nice windmill. Also in Batavia, their police station is a cool building to use as a backdrop. It was a very old factory built with sandstone rocks. Really nice.
- Round Lake on Town Line Road. Park Campus School has a unique building that is often used as a backdrop.
- Main St. in Carpentersville has some nice old buildings.
- The original McDonalds in DesPlaines.
- Any Hooters Restaurant / especially the one in rockford
- Any Portillo's when they are not busy.
- Pick a wall, any wall.
- It's carnival season, watch for positions that would allow the rides and boothes to show in the background.
- On top or in a parking garage with a nice skyline.
- Downtown Wheaton.
- Downtown Elgin


Where is local for you?

yeah I know it's not the most active but I figured the people here should know chicagoland the best.

Algonquin Sonic on Randall Rd. On the south side of Sonic, there is a parking area that has an embankment on the east side. Makes for a clean background (grass in the summer).

Lake in The Hills Costco lot, north side, towards Randall. It's up on a hill, so, you can get a nice background of trees and sky looking north.
