Plane View Park, World Fair Marina, and Vaughn College (03/01/11)
-
Nice set Mat! Hope you had a good day. I was tempted to go out BIG TIME all day as I don't have school on Tuesdays, but a nasty back pain stranded me home :-/
-
Wow, look at that light ... awesome pictures. The ones from the College Control Tower, how do you get up there? :cool:
-
Very nice stuff ! I was actually checking my old pictures from LGA today :)
-
Great looking set, ya I'm curious about the tower as well !
-
I've never been in Vaughn College Tower, but I know it's not far from the park.
-
Right down the block but that's not the point, I want to know how to get up on it :cool:
-
Nice shots!
How do you get onto the Vaughn Tower? Once you're up there, do you have to shoot through glass?
TIS

Ahhhhh, the Vaughn Tower...I spent many, many hours there when I was in school. Its a great spot, they pipe in LGA tower so you can listen along to all the ops. It is fully enclosed, so you're shooting through glass. I am not sure if you can just "go up", as it is part of the college. With that said, you could just walk in the front door and hang a quick left and go to the elevator and head on up, if you'e brazen enough...
-
Yeah, I am a student there right now. Like cowens727 said, if you're feeling brave, just walk in, pop a left, and take the elevator or stairs all the way up. I really doubt you will have anyone asking you for a student ID. I have never seen staff up there, only students.
-
As a student of the college, I would ask the security desk first, which is located in the lobby before heading up just to be safe. I'm pretty sure they may give you a name tag as a visitor.

Yeah, that would be a good idea. Unfortunately, I'm not to familiar with what their policy is regarding visitor check-in in the school.
AirtrafficController, do you dorm at Vaughn by any chance or are you just a student?
-
I wonder if they'd accept another colleges student ID as a visitor?
I'd lovee to go up there.
-
Man, that looks like a sweet spot. Great pictures, that Spirit shot really pops

Yeah, I really like that one. It stinks that Planeview Park is so low. When shooting you often get vehicles, street signs, and light poles in your shots.

I sure hope nobody here decides to try to tresspass into that tower. I mean I can't believe what I am reading. Use your heads!

Just bring a baby! :biggrin:
I'll go by the security desk when I have some time and I'll ask about the policy regarding visitors inside the school.

Works every time! Yes get the skinny on if visitors can go up there. Hell the school should charge something. They would make a fortune. I would pay for that!

Good news guys. I just spoke to one of the guys working security in the school. He said as long as you're signed in as a visitor at the front desk and have a visitor sticker you should be golden.

To get a visitor sticker do you have to have business with the school or?
-
I'm qiute surprised that no one has used this spot sooner! I wonder what their stance on alumni spotting there would be.....
-
He told me told me that even if you're there to tour the facility you'll be fine. I assume the guard that works the morning and afternoon shifts has the same stance. If anyone is planning on coming to visit, just say you're visiting financial aid or student accounts :tongue:, or you can send me a PM just in case and I'll try and help you out.
