Inspire me please!Typically, I'm a sports photographer for a local rugby league side, however since the start of the year I';ve been looking to test my skillset in landscape and taking photos of the incredible views of Leeds, Whitby and Knaresborough. Added in the post is a picture I took last week of one of the arcades in Leeds. I'm wondering if you all can help me, by suggesting any places that I should photograph in Leeds during the coming months.Feel free to suggest any type of location, i'm really keen to learn and test my skills moving forwards.

I think the silver pack horse in the new Trinity Centre would make a good picture on the right day.

You could do CNOSNI a favour and take the photo he describes at the end of here http://www.secretleeds.co.uk/forum/Mess ... eadID=5068 i.e. a night and or dusk shot of one of our top banner images

Lovely photo of the arcade Chris. I don't think you would go far wrong in trying Roundhay Park, Templenewsam or Kirkstall Abbey.
