However, I'm looking through some of the general course blurb which is available on line - including the recommended online reference material. One of the recommended sites is http://strobist.blogspot.co.uk/ . There is an interesting article on there about keeping a list of suitable locations in your area - http://strobist.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/how-and-why-to-keep-location-catalog.html . So I'm thinking that I'll use this page to do just that.
List:
- Car (though I don't think the fact that it's black will help)
- Carved wooden horse on side of canal
- Boatyard on side of canal
- Dead tree near Angela's house
- Open farmland on left of A500
- Brook on right of A500
- Hedge running diagonally uphill on right of A500
Update 28/7
Well I've used a number of the above subjects and locations already and not thought of many more. However I'm mainly looking for everyday locations which kind of fit with where my interest in photography lies at the minute (i.e. being inspired by Lewis Baltz and other photographers of "normal" street life).
So, I think I would add the following to the list:
- Street on the way into Nantwich
- A500 gates and road side
An interesting point here is that 2 is actually the same location as 5, 6, 7 in the top list - but is the less obviously attractive, more everyday bit.... i.e. 5,6,7 in the top list are off the road and in the fields, my intention was to cut out the road from the shots, but now my intention would be to emphasise the road and act of travelling down it.
