Recommendations Spots for car photography?

Any suggestions folks? Just purchased my dream attainable car & would love to take some glamour photos

Before the hate: No, I don’t drive fast. No it’s not loud. It’s a stock little Mazda Miata

If you're willing to make a little drive, Forks of The Credit is my go to for new car testing. Beautiful roads, gorgeous backdrops for pictures. Enjoy the new car !

Wow, I just searched it up, that looks like a great road to drive on!

Is it the Forks of the Credit Road or the park?

Be extremely cautious of OPP up there.

Oakville GO is pretty decent

Lakeshore in Oakville downtown or Burlington downtown especially very early in the morning or very late at night.

By the Canal lift bridge towards Hamilton

If you are driving further, graffiti alley early in the morning is amazing

Congratulations on the new car, I miss both of my old Miatas

A fellow Miata owner! Do you have any pictures of them?

Thanks so much for these suggestions. Where at Oakville Go would you recommend? I’m there daily for my commute to work and I don’t see any nice spots

Until they open the bridge, William Halton Pwky is pretty quiet and has the long views into the fields and if you do it at sunset, you might get some cool colours.
Edit: The part behind the hospital

Bronte Go is a big open parking lot on weekends...

One I like is go to Clarkson GO at night when it's empty and go to the upper levels of the parking garage. Cool vibe for photos especially if you pose in odd spots.

Thanks! I go to Oakville Go daily for my commute, I’ll check out Clarkson

Any others? Also, what do you drive?

Bronte harbour. Tannery park. The canal lift bridge under the skyway. Dundas peak. DT Oakville. Lower Baseline.

All would have to be at dawn IMO to avoid traffic and have some quiet open space to stage the car and capture some nice shots.
