Just a heads up to any keen photographers, we're running a photo comp at Meguiar's MotorEx coming up July 21/22. 3 categories:

1. Most Liked “Car” Photo: (the photo with the most votes). Prize: $1,000 CASH

1. Most Liked “People” Photo: (the photo with the most votes). Prize: $1,000 CASH

1. MotorEx’s Choice: (Chosen by MotorEx based on the photo that best represents the 2012 MotorEx). Prize: $1,000 CASH

with around 500 vehicles on display and heaps happening there won't be any shortage of cool stuff to capture.

For all the info on the show and the comp go to www.motorex.com.au

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.

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

Wow...

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?

[GoldZilla]

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.

[89CAL]

Yeah I figured it cant hurt. I probably don't NEED the extra speed but always handy to have more

I buy all my cards from the states here: http://www.bhphotovideo.com
Much cheaper than here.
