Dreamshot a Midnight Blue Metallic Ford GT at night in the desert

How to unlock the Midnight Cowboy achievement in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit - Definitive Guide

This one's pretty simple to get.

Step 1 - Highlight 'Boulder Desert' on the map (Bottom Right area)
Step 2 - Enter "Racer Freedrive" by hitting Y on the controller.
Step 3 - Select Exotic and then find the Ford GT and Paint it Midnight Blue Metallic.
Step 4 - Once you're on the road, hit start on the controller and go into photo mode. Snap a quick pic and it should unlock. (when I say quick, I mean.. hitting the A button in Photo Mode.. not just clicking the right stick while driving)

I'm not sure what the deal is, but I've noticed that sometimes the 'time of day' says a certain time like 12pm but it's actually 12am and dark out. This one says it's daytime but when it loads its night. At least for me.

If it turns out to be day for you, just hang out a while and it'll turn to night eventually.

Actually, you have to Dreamshot it, so going from Step 4 there, pause first, enter Photo Mode, THEN take the pic, and the cheevo DOES unlock.

You might have to level up your Racer Career a bit more until Boulder Desert unlocks for you, ddak.

@CAMOKIEREN: Clicking the right stick will make a Snapshot, Dreamshots are made in Photo Mode and come with HD quality

Just to throw my 2 cents in, I had tried this a few times when I was on the road at the start of the free ride but it wasn't working at all. I drove off the road into the "Desert" and took a shot and it popped for me instantly

Another option for the early achievement hunters who can't wait (like me) ;-) to just drive there with the GT (after you unlocked it online like i did (i always play online first) and by the time you get there, it will be night, just press start photomode and it unlocks (worked on first try for me, i just waited about 1 minute when it started to turn dark.)

I made a nice guide for this when the game first came out with 4 other achievements. Recorded with Black Magic Intensity and edited with Windows Movie Maker.

GT40 is an awesome car

There is an event called Boulder desert(that is the location of the events) its an racer event. Go over it and then press :triangle: to enter free drive. Pick the exotic series and then the Ford GT, making sure the color is Midnight Blue Metallic. Then hit :start: and go to photo mode while on a desert patch. Name of the race you need to select is "Born in the USA".
