You mention weddings, glamour shots and portraits, but it is hard to see how they would fit in to what seems to be a landscape site. Would you have separate selections for these? Or would weddings, glamour and portraits be mixed in with landscapes?

Just mixed in Steve, I guess its primarily landscape, but that's not to say a good landscape location cant be used for a wedding shoot etc..

..Not sure where your referring to about the facebook links? There is a social media plugin that displays a small link at the bottom of each page, and on the about and contact page there is a facebook feed in the side bar, but thats about it?? You dont have to click on them to get the info?

...

My mistake. I misunderstood your initial post.

Nothing to stop people linking to gardens/parks, walls, archways, etc that make good portrait locations. After all these places are on planet earth so google can be used to locate them.

Great Idea, but agree a drop down choice for maybe 4/5 key settings would be good, landscape, portrait/weddings, buildings, Nature/Birding etc.

But always on the look out for an easy to use site like this....

I have added some in my local area!

Awesome Thanks Roo, just approved the posts!

Drop down box is a good idea, but might get complicated for a location with multiple shot types.

Might be able to add a radio box or something so that multiple fields can be checked, leave it with me!!

Thanks for adding the new locations Roo, great to get some on there for Vic!

Any chance you have some sample photos for these locations? Thanks again, ill get working on the option box

[rellik666]

Erm.......maybe.....will see what I can do!

Radio Box is a great idea!

Alright, I have added a "template" for the listing description field when uploading a location, it includes:

Location name:
Location information:
How to get there:
Location fees/costs:
Best time:
Genres for this location:
Tips:

Any other suggestions for this field?

There is also a google map in the right toolbar that you can enter your current location and get directions to the photography location

[rellik666]

[mercho]

Thanks Roo, approved, they look like great spots!

Appreciate you putting some up for Vic

[harper]

love what you are doing mate. the site is coming along very nicely

[s1l3nt]

Brilliant idea! Can see this definitely taking off much quicker once it gets going a little more!

Will add to it once i have something interesting to add!

Just added a location north of Mudgee called "The Drip"
Wasn't easy to use the map feature, as there was no pin to place (I eventually found the pin sitting down in Mudgee 50kms away, and dragged that up)
See photos in this thread for an idea of what the place is like, but imagine something vastly more specatcular than my pics were able to convey.

Will add some Canberra ones as I'm able to. But it could be a huge listing, there's a hell of a lot of photographic locations in Canberra

[mercho]

Thanks Ezookiel, great write up mate! Looks like a top spot, would be great to get some Canberra ones added to, dont worry about filling it up, the more the better!

The map "should" be drag able so if you set it at the nearest street address and then drag it accross. That being said it is entirely dependant upon the google map api lol

A few more locations have been added to the site, feel free to check them out. Just need to get some more contributions to get things rolling
