I don't know about you guys but I get a lot of questions asking me "where did you take that photo?" and sometimes I wish there was an easier way to find and share new places to shoot. I've been messing with this idea for a while and now I have a feasible way to do this.

Using google maps I've made a custom map I'm going to be updating with little placemarks of where I've taken photos, I'm then going to give a brief description of the area as well as include a picture that I've taken there to give people an idea of what to expect. Now the great thing about all of this is I've enabled the map to be editable by anybody who has a google account (gmail, picasa etc.) so it won't be just me but anyone can share new locations!

here is a link to the map, I'll be updating it soon with more spots but in the meantime feel free to add your own spots! Let me know if you need any help with how to do something!

Cosmin, very kind of you to share your experiences and where you've aimed your gear.
Impressive; I need to look into this and make one for our regional area to help the novices in my state.
