Local Guide Ayaka in Tokyo has shared over 10,000 photos on Google Maps, which have been viewed more than 100 million times. Sebastian, a Local Guide in New York City who shares photos of the city’s subway stops on Google Maps, is not far behind with 90 million views. Curious how they take such intriguing, helpful snaps? Our new YouTube series, Photo Journey, explores that exact question.
In this series, you’ll get tips for taking beautiful photos and learn how sharing 360 photos can show others what places are really like. You’ll also see how Local Guide Vanessa takes photos that help other parents find kid-friendly places in Chicago and how Michael, a Local Guide in Jakarta, uses a drone to take amazing shots of his city. Stay tuned for new episodes, too!

HDR, Always HDR, plain photos too boring..... You want people love your photos, be creative, be positive, be outgoing. Always find new thing, new place and new fasion. That's what I am doing in my daily life.
@kmajewski Loving Ayaka's feature. Would love to get a feature on how I manage to capture exterior architectural shots from a background where street photography on DSLRs/mirrorless isn't easy to capture.
Congratulations kmajewski, I migrated from Panoramio (with 25 million + views) to Google Maps with my efforts reactivated in Google Maps trailing far behind near 10000 photos with 12 million views - on the photos that included predominantly unexplored villages. Wish you reach new heights in your journey of Photography that attracts greater viewer base and help several viewers! You are Great! All the Best!!
Thank you for bringing up the issue of 360-degree camera and photo incompatibilities.
It is an issue which continues to be either sidelined or suppressed at the moment and that has been my experience when trying to gain basic details out of the Tech Support departments of several manufacturers and so the LG Team can be forgiven for not knowing the full facts themselves.
Although some of the manufacturers will admit that they have their own list of phones ( and phone models ) which are known to be incompatible and another ( much smaller ) list of those which are guaranteed to be compatible the vast majority of smartphones do not seem to appear on either list and most of the manufacturers won't provide much in the way of guidance either.
We all need to be particularly wary of the marketing phrase " widespread Android compatibility" because it seems to be legally meaningless and to be used to gloss over a whole host of incompatibility issues which only surface once a 360-degree camera is purchased and installed and then is found to be totally inoperable
This is holding a lot of worthwhile projects back and I hope the Google Maps will put pressure on the manufacturers to be far more transparent and honest with their customers.
Es el inicio de todo, las tomas fotos, las compartidas y con el tiempo empiezas a tomar una tendencia que te caracterizara en tu ciudad, tu entorno y esto permite que muchas personas vean los entornos que ya conoce pero que no los ve con la misma belleza con qué ojos y qué quiere que los demás sientan eso es lo que hay que llegar a un lugar, es algo de tiempo y de constancia y muy gratificante.

Leaning Tower of Pisa : 1173 , Italy. A building that seems to defy gravity, reputedly the scene of an experiment that established one of the laws of the physics, Pisa's famous leaning Tower is actually the campanile, or bell tower, of the city's cathedral. The tower is 179 ft. (55m.) high. The original architects were Bonnano Pisano and William of Innsbruck.
Easter Island : 11th -16th Century, Pacific Ocean. The most fascinating aspect of Easter Island is its huge statues which the islanderror call moai. They are about 12-15 ft. tall.Some of a bigger upto 32 ft.in height. Silent and enigmatic, the huge statues contemplate the pacific
