View Full Version : BMW Photoshoot in the Bellevue/Seattle area
yourweekson569 03-07-2008, 01:59 PM I am doing a BMW only photoshoot somewhere either in seattle or bellevue area. I have few car photoshoots in the past and hope to get as many people as possible for this photoshoot. I am still looking at locations, dates, and times. If you know of a good place for the photoshoot let me know. Just post here if your interesed or send me a message.
n00bjabi 03-07-2008, 02:41 PM Fix your ish so I can send you a PM with some information :D
I refuse to send emails.
NiTrOuSoXiDe 03-07-2008, 02:56 PM That's your first post?? LOL
Welcome!
I live on the Eastside and I know a few decent locations for photoshoots, depending on the ammount of cars. There's nice parking lots on Lake Wash Blvd in Kirkland on the waterfront. There's also Juanita beach with a HUGEEEEE parking lot that's always empty and there is BBQ space. If it's only like 3 or 4 cars, there's a nice little spot right near the boat launch in downtown Kirkland next to the big gazeebo (sp?) where you could get the water and boats in the background.
If people would be up for a short drive to Alki Beach (20 min from Kirkland), there's countless spots over there right on the water with incredible views of downtown Seattle.
Bellevue, there's a few spots but not too many I know of with nice backdrops. If there were only 3-4 cars, maybe we could set up in a parking lot in the heart of Bellevue Square and get a nice looking backdrop of the buildings at dusk, but other than that, I don't think there's much worth taking pictures of in Bellevue. Then again, I've only lived here a year so I don't know much.
Redmond, there might be some nice places where we can take some pics with nice backdrops of the hills/fields and maybe something in Redmond Town Center? Again, I don't know if Redmond has many photo ops. I think Kirkland might be where its at. Plus, if say we had a good number of people attending, we could all hang at Juanita Beach because there is MORE than enough parking available, it's a GORGEOUS photo op (especialy at sun set) and we could have ourselves a little BBQ and not be far from the cars at all (20 feet?).
Hope it helps.
SilburSurfer 03-07-2008, 03:02 PM Dude i'm very interested let me know if and when this is going down. I would def. want to be a part of it.
Bmw Rollin' 03-07-2008, 04:04 PM I'm in for it. Someone else can think of the good spots. :alright

russoturristo 03-07-2008, 05:33 PM Vote for Juanita Beach! I live across the street :)
NiTrOuSoXiDe 03-07-2008, 05:41 PM I think Juanita would be a prime spot for a nice sunset photoshoot. Easy to get to, ample space for about 9999999 cars and we can have a little BBQ/bonfire too!!

Get your bumper on and i'm sure you'll find a way to make it ;)
yourweekson569 03-10-2008, 12:02 AM Well its good to see that there a lot of people interested. I've posted on a few different forums and have been getting a huge response of people wanting to do the photo shoot. I have a few people I know from school who want to do it. It would be better to do it on a Saturday or Sunday. It sounds like alki beach or somewhere on Lake Washington is where you guys want to do it. Two Saturdays from yesterday would work out. Looks like I am aiming for Saturday March 29th. I will get the location up this week. Just need to agree on a spot.
yourweekson569 03-10-2008, 12:06 AM Acutually I think doing it on Lake Washington is the best place. Does anyone know of any places around there?
yourweekson569 03-10-2008, 12:22 AM l
deafboy 03-10-2008, 12:25 AM Get your bumper on and i'm sure you'll find a way to make it ;)
lol...not any time soon.
i need to stop spending money :(
NiTrOuSoXiDe 03-10-2008, 10:47 AM Alki Beach on a Saturday, especially if it's nice is going to be MOBBED. There's no way in hell we'd all get a good shot together.
Better luck at Juanita but either way, I'm down.
M3isgod 03-10-2008, 11:26 AM Im down if its a weekend
BKHuff 03-10-2008, 12:29 PM Depending when it is I am down
XCELMotorsports 03-10-2008, 02:21 PM Alki beach is played out. So many people and car forums do mass photoshoots there. Lake Washington however, has great driving shots and single laned curvy roads. Depending on what part of Lake Washington. I pretty much drove from Renton all the way to Bellevue square just taking Lake Washington Drive/Road, and Renton towards UW a few times also.
But whatever spot you want, im down. Dont mind if i bring my own photographer also?
SilburSurfer 03-10-2008, 03:17 PM juanita beach would be perfect i think. plently of room and if the weathers good it would be pefrect.
yourweekson569 03-10-2008, 11:29 PM juanita beach would be perfect i think. plently of room and if the weathers good it would be pefrect.

e46grocerygettr 03-11-2008, 01:19 AM Make it a drive/shoot. Rolling shots is a must! Have it on the eastside. Perhaps meet up at XXX in Issaquah, then drive up 405 to the Juanita/Kirkland/Bellevue area. :stickoutt

represent gods chariot
yourweekson569 03-11-2008, 03:55 PM Well I think the idea of meeting at the XXX down in Issaquah might work. I will definantly get some shots of moving Bimmers. I have an e30 and know another guy who has one so thats at least two there. Who else has one?
yourweekson569 03-11-2008, 03:55 PM l
XCELMotorsports 03-12-2008, 12:32 AM So whats the official plans? I dont really want to drive to Issaquah and drive back to Bellevue to have the photoshoot. Since i live all the way in Seattle. haha
And i know a E30 owner, owns a red one.

yourweekson569 03-17-2008, 12:49 AM still workin on it. actually, do you think maybe doing a photo shoot at the XXX would be cool?
yourweekson569 03-17-2008, 12:54 AM or maybe some where like the issaquah high lands. that is a good place. meet at XXX, then go to the top of issaquah high lands maybe. they are building houses up there, but at the top there is none and empty roads to do drive by's and what ever.
iranmeba 03-17-2008, 02:03 AM i live in issaquah (well south bellevue but go to school in issaquah) so if you guys do want to know all the cool places around there for pictures i can help with that.

Sounds great!
SneakyMike 03-18-2008, 05:35 AM Time? Place?
yourweekson569 03-18-2008, 12:59 PM i'm thinkin issaquah high lands. there are roads at the top where they are building house and there are none up there yet. i think it would be the best place to do it.
yourweekson569 03-18-2008, 01:01 PM also it would be either the 29th or 30th of this month. just want to get as many people to come as possible. i know there is a photo shoot in seattle on the 29th and might try to avoid that with it on sunday. but it depends on how many of you want on saturday or what ever day. what day?
yourweekson569 03-18-2008, 01:05 PM the other idea if maybe make the meet a little later in the day so those of you going to the alki can make it to mine. does anyone know the time for the one in seattle so maybe we can get one on the 29th.
BimmItUp 03-18-2008, 01:26 PM I'm down for any day. What Seattle photoshoot do you speak of?
So either the 29th or 30th for sure?
XCELMotorsports 03-18-2008, 03:38 PM Wont be able to make it if its the 30th. Attending a annual North West Nissan meet on that day.
Bmw Rollin' 03-18-2008, 03:41 PM Can't do it on the 30th either, gots to work. 29th will work.
SneakyMike 03-18-2008, 05:11 PM 29th..
So where and what time of day??
David Imola Red 03-18-2008, 08:09 PM ahhh im ganna be gone. 27th of mar - 13th of apr
e46grocerygettr 03-19-2008, 12:15 AM Why don't we just all meet up at the Honda-Tech meet on the 29th since there will be other Euros attending.(VWvortex members) Then we could do a bigger meet along with them.

Nice. Well if the timing is right, I could be looking at 2 photoshoots in a day.

No disrespect intended, but i rather not attend a meet where i know hondas are going to attend. I dont personally know them, but most meets where theres a large group of hondas always end with a problem.
And i never went on honda tech, but on other automotive forms they all talk down on honda tech. A couple of my friends actually went to a honda meet with their "track spec" cars. And there were alot of honda people talking shit and making remarks on their cars, when their cars seen more track and "performance" mods then most of thos guys even seen or heard of.
Also, at lot of the times, the police are involved due to their loud exhausts and random burnouts.
deafboy 03-19-2008, 04:16 PM Tight dude. Maybe this will count as our desired photoshoot(s)?
who knows...
we're kind of lacking details here.
I still need to know when and where I am suppose to be
SneakyMike 03-19-2008, 07:08 PM Someone update the first post on when are exactly where we're all meeting
yourweekson569 03-20-2008, 01:08 AM Ok, so heres the deal. I want to have the meet on the 29th, that is final. Second off I was thinking the time would be some where around 2:00 in the afternoon or if you want it can be earlier. The 3rd thing is the location, I have three places and you can decide on them. Here they are 1. Issaquah High lands at the top or the park n ride, 2. A big parking lot some where on lake washington near bellvue or kirkland, and 3. maybe the XXX in issaquah. These are the places or if you have a better idea go ahead and throw it out there. The time can be modified to fit into eveyones schedule. The final decision for where the photoshoot will take place will be made by next tuesday.
deafboy 03-20-2008, 01:36 AM I could care less...lol
looks like it's suppose to rain.
but I'll hope for the best.
BimmItUp 03-20-2008, 02:38 AM Anyone know when the other photoshoot is at? If so, we can work the time around that so there aren't any conflicts. Like myself, others may also want to attend both photoshoots.
Blue330i2006 03-20-2008, 02:57 AM http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=122300
Lets do this photoshoot at the E90 post meet. the lot is big enough.
BimmItUp 03-20-2008, 03:07 AM Thanks for the link. Are you saying we should have the photoshoot at Alki too? Looks like they got some numbers, but no time yet. Maybe it's too early?

Yes, that way we will be able to see the most cars with the smallest amount of logistics.
deafboy 03-20-2008, 04:56 AM If the weather is shit I probably wont drive all the way down there...lol.
I have plenty of nasty pics of my car from old sneakymike meets :rofl:
yourweekson569 03-20-2008, 11:09 AM No, its not going to be at alki beach.
yourweekson569 03-20-2008, 11:10 AM This is a seperate meet thent he other. I want it a different location. Now if rains, I don't know if we'll still do it. If it does, I'll either push it back one more weekend or just take the pics even if it rains. Or just do it at a park and ride and there won't be any problem if it rains or not.

kipwinger 03-21-2008, 05:34 PM My car's down right now but I'll get her going for this. Has the drive/photoshoot location been decided?
yourweekson569 03-22-2008, 10:57 PM alright, i have the location for the photo shoot. I don't know how many of you have been to issaquah before but there is a boat launch/park with a parking lot right on the water and the perfect spot for me the do the photo shoot and easy to find. I believe its called Lake Sammamish State Park boat launch or something. Here is a web site with pics of the area that i found. I check today and yesterday and it wasn't busy. So thats good. http://nw-photos.com/thumbs/2007/07/070711c.htm . Now that the location is set, i was thinking of doing the photo shoot some time around 1 or 2 pm in the afternoon if that works.
yourweekson569 03-22-2008, 10:58 PM what time are you guys set for?
yourweekson569 03-22-2008, 11:04 PM I need to know who is coming so i can make a list and get the numbers down for it. so after this post, say if your coming or not. i'll get directions up by monday for the location.

like 5 dollars or something?
yourweekson569 03-24-2008, 01:28 PM no we're going to the state park. there is a seperate park which is just for boat launches and it won't cost anything. besides we aren't parking and shouldn't have to pay. there is a machine that you put the money into. let me clarify that its not sammamish state park.
yourweekson569 03-25-2008, 01:06 AM if you have friends with other cars they can come. but there will be photos with bmw's only. that is the main point of the photo shoot.

yourweekson569 03-28-2008, 01:29 AM Now for the instructions on how to get there. For those coming on the I-90 from the seattle direction read below.
1.As you are arriving in issaquah, there are two exits. You will be taking the first one.
2.On the right side of the high way as you are coming into issaquah is a long 2 lane exit lane you want to get into. Stay in the left lane.
3.When you get to the light, make sure your in the very most left lane. The intersection in front of you should say "SE 56th str".
4.You will make a left on to this street and take it all they way to the end. It a little far. As your driving stay in the left lane. You will pass a cost co on your right hand side and keep going past that. Go across the bridge and there will be a fed ex on your left side. Keep passing that till you get to a light with an albertsons in your view on the far distant left.
5.Make sure your in the left turning. E Lake Sammamish Pkwy SE should be in front of you. Take a left turn on this road and stay in the left lane again.
6.You will go about a mile down this road. You'll pass through one light and then keep going.
7.After about a mile on your left side is Lake Sammamish. You should see a brown sign that has boat for a boat launch and it will say 1000ft before you get to the entrance.
8.The turning lane is in the middle of the road and when you see the entrance to the little boat launch park, get into the turning lane and turn left into the entrance.
9.When you've made your way in, you should see the lake in front of you with a big grass area and a parking lot. My White E30 with dark tinted windows will be parked there and thats how you get there from the I-90.
If you have questions contact me.
yourweekson569 03-28-2008, 01:31 AM if you live in sammamish, then go down the way that goes by pine lake middle school as if you were going into issaquah and when you get down there, it is the right which is not far down. its kinda hard to see the entrance so keep your eye out. there is a divider in the middle of the entrance. the sign to the place says lake sammamish state park boat launch i believe.

Or just give us the address lol
yourweekson569 03-28-2008, 10:43 AM uh, i don't think there is an address. when i go by theplace today, i'll see if there is anything, but the instructions are really easy to follow. there is literally four turns you take and your there. make left off high way. get to the end of that road your on. make another left at that light, go down till you get to the boat launch on your left and go into the entrance with the divider in the middle. not hard to find.

I dont mean no disrespect, but ive thrown tons of successful potlucks to bbq automotive meets. And from what ive seen so far, this meet was planed poorly so thats what made me decide to attend the E90 meet. Im sure that reason is also what made others not attend your meet.

dude, don't get your panties up in a bunch I clearly told you that there was already a Meet planned for this date and even invited you to come to take pictures and such.. clearly, you didn't even provide the time and your directions were scrambled.. Second, it was messed up trying to gather people when there was already a planned meet.. I don't know why you are so upset, :confused

if its in two weeks, why dont you come to our Alki meet on the 29th? http://www.e90post.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif well thats more like 3.. but if not tukwilla sounds, don't know any place in tukwilla though http://www.e90post.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gifhttp://www.e90post.com/forums/images/smilies/sigh.gif

thats the day we are supposed to have a meet.. you are also welcomed http://www.e90post.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gifhttp://www.e90post.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif there should be plenty of cars to take pictures of! btw, what kind of camera are you using?? http://www.e90post.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif

Aight, still trying to find a meeting spot. I'll give the final location early next week.
what date are you shooting for?
ah, then is it possible to move the meet later that day on saturday after the meet in seattle. does anyone know the time for the one at alki beach? if its early enough we could the shoot sometime after if that works.
sorry, wont be able to make it. Just fyi the Alki meet is on the 29th if you missed the first five times I said it.
BKHuff 04-03-2008, 03:02 AM Alright Patti panties... this whole meet that you "planned" if you can call it that was screwed up from the beginning. You set a date and it was constantly changing and changing and changing. I would have been happy to come to this but the date and location was constantly changing!
I am pretty sure a bunch of us would show up, hell there was 5 or 6 people who showed up to Dick's on tuesday when Mike posted it up that same day! The difference is his meet had a set date and time so it was very clear where yours was screwed to shit. If you want to do a photo shoot start a thread see when a good date is and when you get the grunt work down open another(separate) thread and post it up like Mike showed you.
KTHXBYE!
XCELMotorsports 04-03-2008, 03:56 AM God i never seen anyone so upset because acouple guys didnt attend a meet. Its like were being nagged cause were late to a dinner date or something...
Other then that, lay off photoshop and the funky exposures a lil. Some of your pics kinda hurt the eyes...
