That looks to be pretty expensive. Looking for someplace a little more picturesque and free

I doubt it would cost you anything, if you made a phone call to see when they are not busy.

your not running the car on the track, after all, just posing it by some of the garages, etc...

Still not that picturesque, but I can ask the owner what they think

true, guess it depends on what they want for a background.







i think the garages make a cool backdrop for a car, though ;)

Playing with a long exposure and light painting.


Those were of another Pixtus member's car on Treasure Island with San Francisco in the background.

Have you checked out the Monument/Battleship Texas area? It is just down the street from you. I haven't been there in a while so I can't offer any specifics.

^^ That's a good area ...

Also the Kemah Boardwalk, Woodlands Shopping Center at night, Katy Silos, Sabine Pass Bridge Downtown, Downtown Houston, Nasa, Nasa Shuttle Look Out Park, Midtown bar scene, Washington Bar scene, Graphiti Wall off Main, Graphiti Wall off Canal, Graphiti Wall off Crawford st. ...

Plenty of places.

I like MSR, but it is pretty bland. I do hope to run one of my cars there sometime this year though.
