5 carefully curated photography spots with GPS coordinates, shooting tips, and local insights
Mobberly Baptist Church Mountain Bike Trail
Small, well-kept mountain-bike and walking trail circling a large pond and wooded singletrack behind Mobberly Baptist Church. Shoot tranquil pond reflections, ducks, bench-framed portraits, wooded trail leading lines and action shots of riders. Free parking by the church, clean restrooms on site, easy access and family-friendly trails. Best at golden hour or calm overcast mornings; spring wildflowers and autumn color add variety. Weekdays and early mornings minimize crowds; summer can be buggy.
Carmela's Magical Santa Land
Seasonal indoor/outdoor Christmas display rich in colorful lights, oversized Santa figures and festive vignettes — great for close-up detail shots and night-time light compositions. Best visited at dusk and after dark for illuminated scenes; daytime captures show textures and props. Typically ticketed/event-based (check seasonal hours), with on-site parking off US‑259. Weeknights and early evenings are less crowded. Small venue — expect close quarters and wheelchair accessibility varies by setup
4243 Mount Pisgah Road
A rural stretch near Kilgore offering rolling East Texas countryside, pine-lines, field edges and big skies — good for wide landscapes, dramatic cloudscapes and intimate nature details. Easy roadside access by car; pullouts and gravel lanes provide informal parking. No entry fees but respect private property. Best at golden hour for warm light and at sunset for broad sky colors; spring brings wildflowers, autumn cooler light and foliage. Weather can change fast — storms yield dramatic skies.
Air U Trampoline Park (Purchased by Gym U)
Indoor trampoline park offering high-energy action shots, colorful play zones and candid interaction moments. Best shot on weekday mornings or early afternoons for fewer crowds; evenings and weekends are busiest with parties. Lighting is mixed LED — bring fast glass or a high-ISO-capable body. Expect entry waivers, non-slip grip socks and paid admission; free parking on site. Ask permission before photographing children or parties.
Mr. Churro
Small, colorful churro stand with a tidy storefront and warm interior — shoot plated churros, close-up texture and dipping shots, candid customer interactions, and neon/illuminated signage after dark. Best visited mid-morning or early evening: natural window light softens interiors; evenings reveal warm interior lights and signage. Street parking is available on Beechwood Dr; easy walk-up service makes quick setups possible. No entry fee; be respectful when photographing customers and staff.
