Yes
OK, so I have a slight problem when it comes to getting out and about to take photographs. I can't walk far, like maybe 20 feet, a bit more at a push. And I certainly can't stand still for more than a few minutes.

This has become a real problem for me time and time again. I end up always thinking about this before we go anywhere and it usually ends up being the reason we decide not to go :sulk:

I'm also agoraphobic. The ONLY thing that gets me in the right mind set to go out, is my photography. So as you can imagine I need some inspiration to get out.

So does anyone have any idea's of places I can go to shot some good stuff that meets the following criteria:

Has parking space within 50ft of the subject
Has seating, or suitable ground for hosting a seat (that often goes in the boot of the car with us)
Is not a busy place
Is within an hour and a half driving distance from Boston, Lincs.

Though the distance doesn't matter too much if you know of somewhere really special.

:help:
 
I took the hubby to Silverstone for his birthday in September. To be honest it bored me almost to death :lol: And it took us ages to find somewhere that wasn't crowded, but still in view of the track. But thank you :love:
 
That's a lovely idea, but I would have trouble getting on a boat :sulk:

I'm a hopeless case eh?
 
Apologies if I'm being stupid but do you not have a wheelchair to help you get about?

I doubt it. Getting on a boat in real life isn't like some of the morons you see on the likes of You've Been Framed trying to get themselves into a rowing boat. I've been on a few boat trips; From Cyprus to Egypt (although that was technically a ship), plus small cruise boats on the Nile, and the Seine. Getting on many boats is no more difficult than walking to the garden gate.

So, have a look around. You'll prolly be surprised.
 
probably people photography would suit you, if you get yourself something like a 70-300mm len's, that way you could probably keep a good distance away and get some good candid shot's.
 
The zoo on a nice sunny day is always a good spot if you like pointing glass at beasties. Furry or otherwise.
 
you need to go to a drive thru Safari Park or similar, or zoo, plenty of places to rest whilst taking candids and animal pics.

motorsport is good, as would be airshows
 
evilowl ~ No I don't have one, I should have one, but am resiting, as I am intending to do something about it.

Gfk ~ That's a great point. I will look into that!

Thailand tel ~ that is a very good idea too, but I am saving for a Canon 350D right now, and I don't think I could get a lens like that for my Kodak Z740 :shrug:

Oldgit & ppp ~ another good idea! the only thing that worries me about a zoo, is the walking around from exhibit to exhibit, but the safari type zoo is a cool idea, thanks :)

Chewyuk ~ Thanks, but I don't have a chessboard :lol:
