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.

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪

      I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.

      Stripped the tank down and gave it a good scrub. It came up really good! Not sure if I'll just put it back in like that or give it a blackening treatment (such as Bowdens The Black Box). That might give it a matte look so might just run it as is.

      @MBS206 Ha ha, yeah ADHD is a daily battle to not get drawn in to doing things you want to do that you know you shouldn't do!  Every single time I walk into my shed I end up doing something I started the day having zero intention of doing! I keep mentioning the 1 step forward, 3 steps back scenario and I'm tipping people that are blessed with ADHD (yes, blessed) are the worst at that!
