Location hunting - Points of Interest

Now that I've got used to using the equipment and have a few ideas of what I'd like to create it's time to think about the locations I have available. Unfortunately I'm not as free as I'd like to be here because I don't have a car. Ideally I'd be able to do a lot of travelling just to figure out some interesting places to go to. The Malvern Hills would be particularly interesting I think and it would be a great place to do some star trail/night sky photography. 

Here are some ideas I came up with while keeping in mind the limitations I face such as limited travel methods (walk, cycle or bus) and money for things like extra batteries/intervalometer.

Cathedral:

I'd like to do some wide angle panoramas inside the Worcester Cathedral but I think that considering the time of year, it's unlikely I'll get a clear enough day to ensure consistent lighting between each shot. Too many clouds!

The outside of the building is very interesting too though and is lit up at night. I think there is some potential for interesting landscape shots showing the vast scale of the building. Perhaps I could try a timelapse of this but I imagine the shots where the lights come on won't stitch well with the previous shots.

Great Malvern:

I'd really like to travel to Great Malvern to take some photos inspired by Chris Kotsiopolous' work. It'd be a great place to do some star trails or nightscapes but without my own car I think this idea is probably going to be impractical. 

Town Hall:

A few months ago I was in the Guildhall when there was a music sale on. I took the opportunity to have a browse around the building and on the top floor there's the main event room. It's a very large room featuring big framed paintings and grande chandeliers. Thinking back, this might be an interesting room to create a 360 degree panorama in. There do seem to be quite a few images like this around now though and I think it's unlikely I'd be allowed permission to use the room.

County Cricket Club:

One place that has come to mind is the county cricket club. There is a little building on the field that looks a little out of place. At night time it's often lit up which contrasts with the dark field it's in. Last winter the field was very flooded which made the building look even more out of place, it actually had a horror film-set kind of feel to it. It would be very cool to have someone travel across the scene in a canoe with an oil lamp, achieving a creepy silhouette effect. 

Sabrina Bridge/Road Bridge:

I'm particularlly interested in shooting around the Sabrina bridge due to the river. Chris Kotsiopoulos' work often focuses on the sky, natural elements and extreme weather. If the river floods like it usually does, I think I could get some quite interesting images down there. One Idea I'm currently thinking of is to shoot a 180 degree panorama whilst standing on the middle of the bridge, so that both sides of the river captured. I would frame this so that the sky and the reflection in the water balance the image out, with the river as the vanishing points on both sides. 

I think that this image would encapsulate many memories for me because this bridge is probably the place I've been to the most in Worcester as it's needed when I'm walking to most places. My thinking is that by the time I come to shooting the final images the river level should be quite high which will make the image more interesting than usual. I will go and do some test shots asap.
