[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 296278, member: 9240"] Here's a shot from Google Maps. The field in color is now covered completely in a solar array. The closest legitimate parking is at the very bottom. The businesses at the top are all gated lots with warehouses (note the tractor trailer parked there for size). The 'X' is where this shot is taken. The field is lowest at the bottom left corner, which is also where there's a farm that has tall trees running as a barrier between it and this field, and the top right corner is the highest elevation. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]84871._xfImport[/ATTACH] Looking up the field from the bottom can make for some phenomenal perspective shots, but that's where I [I]really[/I] need some height to see it. Unfortunately, long lenses from a distance can't do it justice because of other things in the way, and even if I could convince the farmer to allow me into his second floor bedroom there are trees in the way. Best I could hope for (outside of spending serious money on a cherry picker that I have no way of trailering there) would be to get on the roof of the white barn across the street at the bottom left. Alas, without height, these are the [I]best[/I] perspectives I can get on partial areas of the field from a latter at ground level (unedited photos)... [ATTACH=CONFIG]84872._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]84873._xfImport[/ATTACH] This is the upper left portion of the field (not even 10% of what's there). I'm going to figure it out this year, but my push was to get something for the DEDPXL April assignment and I at least have something there. The rest might take some negotiating. [/QUOTE]
