Title: 2011 Photoshoot Locations~ [updated 2/22/11]
Post by: agpgirl on November 14, 2010, 02:15:48 am: FIRST THINGS FIRST: This is NOT the 2011 Photoshoot thread; It's just a list of locations near the con next year so you can pick a place to hold your photoshoot (but dont post that here).

I've never been to the Vancouver Hilton or Red Lion so I wouldn't know where to hold a cosplay photoshoot by the con next year. Do any of you know some great areas for meetups or photo-taking? If so, please tell me! I'll post it on here so other people unfamiliar with the area can check it out too...!

Photoshoot Locations near the Vancouver Hilton::
- Esther Short Park
- Smaller park-like areas a few blocks East and/or West (less people)

Photoshoot Locations near the Red Lion::
- River-view spots

It is a beautiful park with several different "types" of terrain (grass, trees, brick, etc) with a big clock tower and water feature, too. I went in 2007 and it made for some amazing photo shoot opportunities.

There's also some possible good areas just to the West of Hilton (if I remember correctly). I'm actually planning on going to downtown here pretty soon (most likely Monday), so I can take a look around.

I'm hoping to see about getting at least one photo shoot done at Officer's Row. It's a national site, so I think some people would love that. There's also the Academy building that'd be great.

I still haven't gotten around to looking for sites for y'all yet, but those are some possibilities.

I watched Tainted Donuts. That is very well done.
