Dallas Skyline Sunset Shoot

[brad]

Hey all.. my photo club is making noises about wanting to do a sunset shoot of the Dallas skyline similar to what a group from here did last October...

Anyone got any details on that shoot? Where it was done, what permissions you got, and how you managed a police escort?

I didnt go to that one but a bunch of us did meet at the same place the top of the Methodist Hosp parking garage it is on Colorado you enter the parking garage and just go to the top floor there was about ten of us the night we met up there and no police escort. And noone ever said a word. cost you a couple of bucks for parking. it was a fun night id like to do it again soon Heres a map to it

If memory serves me right the Police Escort at the one shoot was a friend of one of the photographers who wasn't on duty at the time.

If you have a group of more than just a handful of people you probably should have little if any problems, unless you do something crazy to bring attention to yourselves up there.

Yes, Methodist Hospital is the place. As a courtesy, you might ask the administrative staff for permission. While it is a public hospital, they can set rules and of course they are naturally more vigiligant about security these days. When I asked for permission last July 4, I was informed "no, I needed to ask in advance", but security did later allow me and several others tot ake pics. My point: A little upfront work might help help ensure the photography community maintains good relationship with the hospital. I would hate to think that one day they might have a rule: No pictures. Just my $0.02.
