I'm looking for some places in the Hampton Roads area to take some nice shots with a good background. Let me know your favorites and post your shots if you have any.

Nice shots Tony. Diane and I use to get stopped by the park ranger right around the lions brdge because we use to take Sadie to the rivers edge so she could do what labs do and swim. For some reason, I can't remember now, that was illegal. That area was always great for pictures.

Yeah I was not even trying to get the lion to sit on my car that day. I was just getting it in the shot. When I looked at it it looked like the lion King of the Jungle was sitting on the King of the Hill

You can also find some nice shots in Colonial Williamsburg, but its hit or miss with the crowds this time of year. Also, Rt 5 also has some nice scenery up around the plantations.
The Lions Bridge is also very nice and as I recall there are some nice flags around the entrance to the Mariner's Museum (building).
Does anyone know where there are any warehouses that might offer some nice backdrops?

Does anyone local have a photographer they recommend? I've been wanting to get some good pics of the car (rolling shots, background shots, ect).
Here's an idea. Maybe we can get a group of us to pitch in $$ and have a photographer take some nice pics of the cars.

A couple buddies of mine are really into taking pictures. I'm sure they would enjoy getting some more Corvette's together to.
We always are looking for new places to get pictures.

Ahh yes, the infamous cruise where I not only lead the group to the fire department's annual picnic instead of a nice beachy picture spot, and into the middle of a parade. 
but as I remember I made WAY to much food for all ya'll after the cruise.
You all have no idea how long I was eating leftovers.
