Recently I've been itching to be a bit more proactive with my photography. I live central Scotland so a few hours drive gets me into prime territory. However getting there and back during the nice light hours makes it quite difficult - for someone lazy like me.
Recently gone down the rabbit hole on YouTube of people kitting out mpvs, 7 seater as mini camper vans... And perhaps my next car will be something like that. But, I've also found alot of discussions online of staying over in standard cars.
I think practically, it seems perfectly doable. Seats back give me enough room to stretch out. Would just need to fashion some blinds for privacy. I think that's really it.
So my question, does anyone else do this? What's the general feelings on it and what are the pitfalls? My understanding is there's no laws against sleeping in your car on Scottish laybys - I'd assume simply because they're there to give drivers a rest and that's what I'd be doing.
It would only be for 7 or so hours - get there for sunset, get up for sunrise, and then straight home. With this, there's no real need for any major luxuries in the car!
I'm really just thinking out loud here, I've spoke to a few (non photography) pals and they think it's a ridiculous notion... so just looking for other comments and insight... Im sure there's some stories to tell!
Cheers
