Hey guys - relatively new here but I do have a question for you guys. I see a lot of great images on here. A lot of the best ones I see are from weird angles/places. For example it seems as though all of you are spider-man because you seem to be able to get on top of buildings with ease. Do you just have to have connections to get to these places or what?

Post your tips on how to get to unique locations to get your favorite shots.

Just start experimenting. You can do a lot with public access areas. Just experiment.

Agreed.....start by getting low to the ground and see what happens.

Car parks that is a good one. IDK why that didn't cross my mind since we have tons of them here. I guess I never really considered climbing on things either, although I am 6'4" 220 so I ain't exactly nimble.???
