I tend to agree.....just trying to think what is out there. I have never been there, but maybe the Cradle of Aviation Museum may offer some cool shots.

I think Hofstra University (South of Hempstead Turnpike-which is an Arboretum) would also offer better outdoor shots than Eisenhower Park.

I've heard that about Hofstra, I just wasn't sure if you could just show up and take pics, I wasn't sure of the policies. Maybe I will suggest there. I am hoping that this weekend the weather will be warm enough, and not windy that we can be outdoors, I love shooting natural light and outdoors.

I graduated from hofstra. You can take pics on campus the problem is parking. if you park on campus you need a permit and if you don't have it you will get a ticket. The best bet is to park in the dunkin donuts parking lot and walk over. No places to shoot indoors worth while though.

So the weather is supposed to be 62 and nice out, so we are going to be outdoors. I am going to look into Hofstra, any other locations in this area? Thank sooo much!

I went to Planting Fields Arboretum about 1.5 months ago.
I couldn't get shots in the greenhouses because they were too crowded--We got there about 1 hour after it opened and meandered our way to the greenhouses. Maybe if you get there right as it opens you'll have better luck. I didn't get any shots inside the greenhouse, but I did get some shots outside on the lawns and by some trees, it's a gorgeous place, but go scout the place ahead of time as it's large and there are so many places to take good shots, but they are not easy to find, I stumbled across a few.

Here is a link of some of my shots--keep in mind I'm not a pro, I'm a beginner, but I'm just saying the place definately has potential.

BTW, the lighting inside the greenhouse was glorious.

EDIT, I just went through my shots again #38 and #39 are in one of the greenhouses, they are tight shots as I wanted to avoid other people, but maybe you get a smidge of an idea about the lighting. Hope it helps. Again I'm new, so don't go by my pics, just an idea for location.

Crowds shouldn't be a problem in November. I got there as it opened in August and had no problem.
