Anyone? Surely someone has to be going over that way this weekend.

South of McDowell just off 27 Av. would be easy. I'll give it a crack if you would send it to a out of state address.
Another arfcommer that watches our forum closely but never posts. She loves that AZ htf stuff and being from a small eastern state would like one. Dawn or dusk would give the best contrast too. Question just the sign or how much skyline or surrounding urban structures should be included? |

View Quote Yes, this - not the CDL driving school. If it's a pain, don't worry about it. I thought it was just up all the time. |

Feel free to forward that picture . A decent photo shop person could get it done as a last resort.
But I would prefer a "natural" picture myself. |

That looks great! Let me see if I can get you a time window. View Quote I drive by there all the time. I believe it just scrolls through 5-6 different ads every few minutes it changes. So I don't if you would get a set time window. I believe if you sit for 10-15 minutes you will get the one you need. |
|
I drove by it 3 times today. Its a tough spot. The pull off lane on the left is too small, and there's nothing on the right.
It changes every 5 seconds or so. Soo whomever gets a pic, make sure your careful! |
|
I used the 27 Av on ramp and went to the base of the gore point and acted broken down.
Spent 10 min + and nothing local appeared. Cent Link, Lite beer, that Sheriff and one other. Different adds for the same four. This evening or Monday morning may yield a completely different lineup. Advertising during prime time is different than advertising in the off hours. I may break down this evening again and see if by pure luck I can get it. |
|
Hold on guys, if this is dangerous, forget about it. I don't need a picture that badly.
Update in OP |
|
That's effed up. My picture was better than the one in their advertisement. I hear you though. I would not recommend anything I posted.
Rizzo is right. Admittedly the best place to see a freeway sign is from? The freeway. This may not be the best place to take a picture. I will find a spot on the far side and use the 70x300 lens and try again. Should make it look like you were right next to it. But I would still like to have a window. If that's possible. |

I made an attempt at 7:00pm, at the 27th Av on-ramp as Mauser stated. Sat for 10 mins and it cycled through 5 ads, but did not see the CDL ad. They may only run it during weekday peak time??

View Quote And you lived to tell the tale. Nice job. You have some serious lurker cred with that post count. My hat is off to you for putting forth the effort. When you have been there. It's not as bad as others would think. |

After thinking it over. The west side pedestrian walkway on the 27av overpass. Taking the picture through the fence would work well.
I have taken many through a fence that no one knew was there. Add to that it is going to be cropped so any hints that a fence was there would be removed at that time. Would that work for you Rizzo? |
|
Why not call and ask when the ad is scheduled to run? It'd save you a lot of time.

Thanks to everyone who is trying - this photo will likely be used for an AZCDL advertisement, so it's all for a good cause. Just be safe, don't take any unnecessary risks. ETA: Just got an email saying it's supposed to be rotating 24/7. It may be possible that it only runs on the other side of the billboard, as that's the side that it shows in the ad. |

Rizz has a point, the ad does state West facing. We're probably targeting the wrong side. |

Came back east and that side was dark. I'll check it out here in a few from the 35av overpass. Then grab some marinated skirt steak to try the Alton Brown fajitas. Sorry wrong thread. |

I have a errand to run in south Phoenix. Anyone see if the sign is up and running. Will be heading out about 8:30 or so.
I'll toss in the camera. |

Thanks, there is something I want to point out. When it changes the sign starts out kind of blue. then as it warms up it get a brighter white.
Then when it's going to change it starts to go to the blue tint again. So there is really a narrow sweet spot for the white. Now in the blinding light around here just looking at it. It's always white. The camera brought out that blue background. But it can see much better than I can. Photobucket dumbs them down too. All files should be around 6mb or so. Out of 15 I have 4 or 5 usable. That could be edited a bunch of ways. Any ideas before I crush rizzo's mail box. I wish he found the shift key when he signed up. |

Mauser, those photos are awesome! Thank you very much.
Send 'em on over to my email. And include the address where you want the decal sent - I'll happily send one to you and one to your friend for your efforts. Do you want the decals to feature a 1911, Glock, shotgun, AR-15, AK-47, or precision rifle? |
|
Sent them by two different e mails by mistake. Did you get both?
I is tarded..... Edit for 1911 for her and AR15 for me if that's not too much trouble. |
|
|
...... Anything like this comes up again don't be afraid to call.
If I can I will. Too dangerous you really should change the thread title back. Sun sets at 7 something tonight. I wonder what that would look like at sunset. HMmmmmm |
|

No crap. It was interesting though. Black during the day and Red at night. Now I know where that red border comes from in the day.

Thanks, and I forgot to tell Rizzo your welcome. I'm glad I could help. Not to drag this on any farther. If I could have figured out my settings better. The sign would have been sharper. Plus I could have moved in closer. This is the one that got away. You win some and lose some. I just wanted to see if I could do it. Picture fail but you get the idea. http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/Mauserone/DSC_0909_zps0b6833e2.jpg Better but the wrong effing sign. http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/Mauserone/DSC_0907_zpsa3f1303d.jpg OK now I will shut up.

Hey they used one of the night time pictures as well.
Makes me glad I went. I don't get a lot of chances to do night stuff. It was more of a afterthought. Kind of wish I had taken more. I thought it looked a lot more striking. Thanks for the link. |
