Photospots.co.uk Maps (OS & Google)

"A website for amateur photographers to share their favourite photography locations."


Very clean site with direction of the sun and location of the photograph clearly show for each individual shot.

UK photograph locations have the additional maps from Ordnance Survey Openspace


Switching from Google Maps to Ordnance Survey is extremely well implemented no page refreshing required making this very user friendly and usable.
