If you don't know what to shoot...

[Ikinaa]

Here's an idea...

http://www.confluence.org/

Shoot the latitude and longitude integer degree intersections in the world.

Now that's weird...

[CyberDyneSystems]

tooo funny!

Consider that about 2/3rds of the confluences are in the middle of the ocean... they'll never get them all

But a fun project

Holy snapshot Batman!
I checked out the Quebec link and there are a bunch not photographed in the North. Since I'm heading up there in a few weeks, I'm going to stick the info in my GPS and try to shoot a couple. Unless of course I run accross a bunch of moose. Speaking of which I believe that the plural of moose is meese.

Depends on how close you are. If you're *really* close, the plural is not to be spoken here.

I hate you.

I love funky little projects like this. Why oh why didn't I learn about it earlier?

All the California spots are shot except two which I suspect are really on Military Property. The one near SLO is, I'm almost sure of it. The one up north? Eh. Can't believe it hasn't been shot already if it is accessible.

Please make sure your car insurance is paid up. Barring that make sure you've got enough rope to drag one o' them big boys back. Feed your family on that and you'll save enough on groceries to buy a 1DMKII in no time.

I bet roast Moose goes well with a side of Mac & Cheese!

Now that would be a nice picture... a moose at the exact intersection point

Tera,
Come on up here and shoot away. I checked out some on the sites and even a mad man would not go there. however there are a couple that I plan on shooting. Too bad my back yard is not on the list

You would not believe how much meat is on a moose. A buddy of mine manages to scare one to death every year and even after splitting up the meat with the 3 others (takes 4 permits for 1 moose) There is still enough left over to allow me to dine in fine style for many a meal. Combine that with the stuff that customers give me and the freezer fills up in the fall.
Have not tried using Mac and Cheese as a side dish but will remember to do so this fall

Tera,
I do around 10 trips a year through the Northern Parks and moose pose the biggest threat to the truck, espically in the spring when they come out of the woods and lick the salt that has accumlated on the sides of the road. In 20 years of driving up there I have not yet (knock on wood) managed to be tagged by one. Have seen a lot of others that have had the misfortune Hard on the moose and hard on the folks that hit them.

How about this?
-Shoot the moose with your Canon.
-Shoot the moose with your cannon.
-Process what you shot in step 1 and sell it.
-Buy side dishes with the money.
-Render what you shot in step 2 and freeze it.
-Eat like a king all year.



Sorry, Kraft, your mac-n-cheese sales just went down. :P

Have Fun

Safer would be this :
-Shoot the moose with your cannon
-Try to stand the moose on its feet as if it were alive
-Shoot the moose with your Canon
-Process ...

Little quiz

There are two possibilities to shoot 360 confluences with only one shot...

Which

Which

North and south pole?

How about from a plane? Could get many that way too, though detail would suffer.

Oh, cocking the shutter without winding the film. Again detail would suffer from all the multiple exposures (at 1/360 exposure...)

Yes... northpole and southpole : latitude 90 (-90) and longitude 0-359
the longitudes are passing through the poles...
