As a new Picable photographer you may have wonder where everyone gets all of these magnificent photographs that you see on Picable. Here are some hot spots to take your Picable Portfolio to the next level. Even if you are a photographer but do not use Picable you will still be able to come up with some good pictures by going to the following events and places.
Parades
Parades are my favorite place to take pictures. You get a nice mixture of photography subjects from sexy women,hot cars, animals,clowns,and a crowd that is constantly smiling. One of the benefits of a Parade are the subjects come to you. You find a good spot and sit down and all the cars,floats,women,motorcycles, and other subjects come cruising by you at a nice slow pace. You can roam around and take pics but I prefer to stay in one place.
At a small town parade you should easily be able to shoot 100 quality pics for your picable portfolio. At a large parade such as "The tournament of Roses" parade you should be pumping out even more pictures.

Fairs
Fairs are excellent places to shoot pictures. You get everything from farm animals, exotic animals, people, farm machinery to the midway with all of the games. If you spend one day shooting a lot of pics then you could easily get 500 usable pics to add to you Picable portfolio. You want to shoot and ask questions later. The question you ask later is should I upload this to my Picable portfolio? If you snap 500 pics total at the fair then you may only end up using 200 of them but this is the power of digital cameras. No need to buy film.
Zoos
A day at the Zoo can be very beneficial to you Picable portfolio. Obviously you get the animals as subjects to shoot but you also get a wide variety of people. People love zoos and Picable loves people pictures so you have a perfect combination.
A day of heavy shooting at the zoo can be very tiresome so I recommend you find a good spot to sit down and take a break. A good spot is defined as where you can continue to snap pictures of the zoo visitors.
College Campus
The college campus is a hot bed of cute girls and funny activities. Don't limit your campus photography to the hot babes and the frat studs. Many college campuses have buildings of unique architecture, museums, and also the parking lot. Yep, I said the parking lot. From beat up clunkers to funny bumper stickers the college parking lot can be a haven for funny pics if you keep your eye out.
Car Shows
Car shows can easily increase the amount of royalties you earn on Picable. By properly marketing you pictures on car forums you can drastically increase your earnings. For more information on how to increase your royalties using car forums then check out my other article on How to Get 10,000 Page Views a Day on Picable.
Car shows have the hot women models, the very diverse crowds, and the cars. Everything from classic collector cars, race cars, low riders, new and old corvettes, custom cars, stock cars, and every other type of car you can imagine. The basics of A car show is to shoot shoot shoot. Shoot hundreds of pictures. Carry a little notebook with you to take notes of the cars details such as the make and model, the year of the car, and any interesting tidbits of information about them that you may learn from talking to the owner of the car.
Many car shows have "fact sheets" that are usually lying on the dash or taped to the inner windshield so it is viewable from the outside. Snap a close up of the fact sheet and it will save you time as the fact sheets usually contain all the required information such as the make and model of the car, the year of the car, the engine the car uses, as well as the owners name and hometown.

The Street
Photographing people on the street can be very fun. You can usually find a nice diverse amount of pedestrians to photograph. The next time you go to Las Vegas take more pictures of the people on the street as opposed to the buildings. There are countless pictures of the fancy casinos but if you take pictures of the people looking at the casinos then you will have unique pictures that no one else can get.
Amateur Sporting Events
Amateur Sporting Events can include everything from the local community softball league to walkathons,marathons,soccer,horseshoes,church basketball games etc.
