I’m just getting started on this whole photography thing, and one type I don’t get to do very much is landscapes. I really like landscapes and scenery, but I don’t ever seem to be in a good place to shoot them. I grew up in South Bend, a half hour’s drive from the shores of Lake Michigan, and that would have been a beautiful place to photograph…but I’m looking for something a little closer to Indy now. Any suggestions?

I’ve got a few of my favorite shots up on my site at http://rogersmj.com/photography . Very beginner stuff. As you can see, not much in the way of landscapes and water.

There are a lot of very nice cityscapes around Indy, especially at night, such as looking back at the city from White River.

Oddly, there are also good photos to be had from the top of The Star parking garage.

Another place I like shooting at has been the Zoo, which also has a few spots that look back on downtown.

Finally, there’s always Geist and pumpkin patches in the fall (some of my favorite photos just involve sitting/laying on the ground and shooting groups of pumpkins).

I find myself frequenting the Zoo, the canal downtown, Eagle creek state park, and if we expand the driving radius I like to go out to parke county and shoot the covered bridges, take in the natural beauty of Muscatatuck nature preserve, going to Lake monroe to look for wild life.

Indy and Indiana are full of things to do at various times of the year. Indiana has some great museums to visit and fantastic Victorian age architecture can be found in most cities and town here.

Hi All,

I’m new to the group/area and would love to find some places to shoot. Would be great to meet up with you sometime and shoot. I’m only down here mon-fri and weekends I’m in South Bend.

Where is the star parking garage located?

Not gonna lie… I did a photoshoot in a trailer park with Polina Osherov and had the time of my life! Definately different from Monument Circle or Scottish Rites Cathedral, but interesting nonetheless.

You can check out her pictures at www.polinaosherov.com then click on “blogs” and scroll down till you see the one that has my name, KJ, in the heading. Those were all taken at the trailerpark.

Just a thought!
