anyone from Melbourne know any good locations for an amateur car shoot?

Will just be me trying to get some nice shots.

South Eastern suburbs would be ideal.

not really a random photo, but been working on learning about the google maps API and came up with these...

They are interactive google maps with some of the photos I have taken marked on the map at the location they were taken from. Took 5 hours to get them rigged up and running, they could do with some cosmetic tweaking, but the functionality turned out good. Few more features I want to add in down the track too.

Let me know what you think

Article in the Herald today about photography theft / use without permission.

http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/were-being-screwed-photographers-and-designers-vent-over-stolen-images-20130118-2cx6x.html

Nothing new, but those of you photogs who are more talented should always be on the lookout for your artwork being stolen.

Quick question. I have a Canon 7D and I'm about to buy a new memory card. I'm either going to get a SanDisk Extreme 120mb/s or a SanDisk Extreme Pro 160mb/s. Obviously the Extremem pro is a bit more expensive but is much faster. Just not real sure if the faster card is worth the extra money. I have a SanDisk that does 60mb/s at the moment and I don't really have a problem with it, but if I'm buying a new card I want to get a good one.

Anyone have any advice?

If you're going to be shooting rapid-fire shots using the 11ty FPS of the camera, then a faster card is better because the files will transfer to the card's memory quicker. Otherwise, I don't think it will matter too much.

    • I wouldn't be concerned at all, other than to suggest having them flow tested when you receive them to confirm they are reasonably similar, and then put the highest to lowest flowing ones in cylinder 6,1,5,2,4,3
    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now.
