Constructive Critique of my photographs is always appreciated

My Photography
It's good that they blurred out the number plate of my car
CC, Image editing OK.
Didn't take long to narrow it down to my house, but the street view has a google copyright symbol on it, and the date on the copyright is out. It says 2011, but the car in the driveway I got rid of in very early 2010.
Canon EOS 60D ..... EFS 18-200mm f/3.5 - 5.6 IS - 430 EXII Speedlite - "eBay special" Remote Control Unit - Manfrotto 190XPROB w 804RC2 head.
I just Googled my address and this time the front of the house came up.
Exact same image dated December 2009, just before the Summer Rains started probably
Just looked up my 2009 Diary we got 189 mm of rain from 21st-31st December that year.
i typed my address and it showed the house over the road
cc and enjoy

That's amazing, but I only get an aerial image.
Alive and still clicking - apologies to PSQ.
Living and working in the Roaring Forties
Assorted cameras of all sizes and shapes including Pentax K (the original), MX, Z1,K20D; 50mm 1.2, 35mm 2.0, 85mm 1.8
if you use the buttons you can drive right along the street and you can swap sides of road with the compass
and to change from ariel view just hit the box on right and it changes from ariel to street
cheers macca
On the scroll bar on the left of the aerial image is a zoom slider. At the top of the zoom slider is a logo of a person.
Click on and drag that icon to the road.
Unless you're somewhere obscure that hasn't been driven yet by the google cars, you should have a street view come up.
At first the aerial view is in the top corner, but can be resized
I tried my Mum's address, which is in the country in New Zealand, and on a lane that as far as I know didn't even have a name when I was growing up. It went straight there and even gave me a street view which surprised me.
But I got more or less identical results typing it into Google Earth, maybe a little slower and at lower resolution.
That's amazing.
Even has my sports car in the driveway!
All my photos are taken with recycled pixels.
Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom, is knowing not to serve it in a fruit salad.
The pictures they're using are old! The front of my place looks totally different now.
For much more recent (independant from google) aerial views try this one - www.nearmap.com
It's certainly faster for me than google maps but, as for some others, it gives the house over the road yet when I type that address in, it indicates location not found - interesting watching the process too. Thanks for sharing this.
If you like hi-res versions, go to the nearmap website and look up your address.
Only aerial views, but they're redone every month or so, and you can scroll the slider bar along the top of the page and watch how your place has changed over time.
You have to either become a free member, or sign in as a non-commercial guest the first time you go there, but it's all free for personal use, and much much higher resolution, but primarily only does major areas, so won't be likely to have country towns, and none of the bush, outback, National Parks, etc generally.
