It would be nice if it had a link to local laws about permits and stuff like that, I mean the better informed is someone about the specifics they would need to shoot in that location (permits, insurance, property release needed, etc.) the better for them.

The concept is awesome. I have been looking for sites around my hometown, and missed out on a pay gig because it was in another city and I didn't know what good locations were available. The local knowledge of permits, property releases and the like are also so important and so hard to find.

Thanks!

Very good idea. This is world wide so I am not sure if I will be able to get the information for everywhere but I will make an effort as I go here. Possibly help make it user submitted. I will think about the best way for this. Thanks!

I appreciate all the input, keep it coming. I want this thing to work for all of us.

Why? Just curious. I'm not opposed to removing it. Of course I know there are other ways people could pull the images but the "geberal public" would struggle with those other ways.

Sorry this will be necessary. I won't be selling the email addy's or anything.

I hope it does, make sure you contribute the locations you currently use. That will help make it successful.

That was my first thought.

Necessary? Why?

This will be necessary so I can keep track of the user base and for statistical purposes. More of a personal thing than anything.

Sorry

I did check out your site, and this was the #1 reason I didn't register.  I'm sure you have nothing but good intentions, but there's too much crap out there where personal info can be misused.  Plus I have google earth, and for the most part - photographers usually bug me for my locations (which I happily share - after I'm sick and tired of shooting at them).

I respect your decision. To each his(or her) own.

Great idea. There are places that charge loads of money to find good location. If this site actually gets filled with good locations, I will even pay membership fee...

That is not ever going to be an option. It will always be free. I might have small little ads similar to the "sponsor" squares on the side if this gets big enough. Another reason to keep track of numbers. If this thing stays cheap enough and the bandwidth and space isn't ever an issue I will refrain from even putting ads on it. If it gets big I will need some help funding it so ultimately that's why I need registered users instead of anyone can post. So I can see if it's all worth it.

All it takes is for you guys to use it and pass along the word.

Because it's nonsense and it leads people into the false belief that there's a way to stop people from saving their photos if they are posted on the Internet.
