Thanks for the feedback-definitely on the hunt so I'm out and about, just curious if anyone had some spots I'm not hip to...what is it with these photo forums? All these comedians...must get real lonely up there with that ego. I appreciate the positive fellas, for real thank you-not sure about the last couple, but I never did like bully's-after 20 years in the pen guys like that should be REAL thankful I put down the gun and picked up a camera

As I go about my daily travels I keep my eye peeled for good locations. If I can't stop and scout a new location right then, I put it on my list and return later to have a closer look.

I keep a list of those locations I have scouted that are suitable for my needs. My list is organized such that all the locations are organized by the time of day, and time of year, they are best used.

It's almost always about the light.

You could sell that list for a good chunk of money to a new portrait photographer who opens their doors near you haha. But that would make their life too easy.

If you live near there then go out and search the area before hand. Do your homework and you can sell anything. Google it too. Find the nice spots. Think outside the box and in the end of the day just go with your heart.

I've been there. But the milk was toast by the time I found it.

Easy, ask your client if they have a preference of locations. They might which would make you job easy. Otherwise Id say its time for a photocrawl. So get out and explore.

Well you did start asking location questions for a completely different state then the OP was referring to. But think of the hazing on here to be similar to what friends would do amongst one another. These are good guys I assure you and they do help people quite often. Just start a new thread. You will probably get lots of helpful info if you do.

Agreed!

i usualy just look around, and travel a whole lot

it definitely helps to go outside once in a while... (looks at calender, and realizes that i haven't done so in a loooong time)
