Photography Courses in Macro Photography
Getting up close and personal with your subjects through macro photography provides fresh new views and enhances your photo collections. Here´s a brief look at the ins and outs of macro photography along with considerations and tips.
Want a little extra oomph out of your photos? Start using the macro setting on your digital camera or invest in a macro lens for your SLR. By getting up close and personal, you'll see the world in a whole new way and so will anyone viewing your images especially in areas such as Perth Australia.
What is Macro Photography?
Macro photography is more than zooming in for a close up. With macro photography, the photographer actually gets as physically close to the subject as possible with a goal of reproducing an image at a one to one (or closer) ratio. Because the focal length is quite short, it's important to have a lens capable of achieving this type of magnification. Many of these techniques you can learn in online photography courses in Australia.
While purists apply the term macro to images that have a vi or closer ratio, you don't necessarily need to get out your measuring tape and calculator to enjoy experimenting with your macro settings. It doesn't matter what you call it if the image is stunning and one of the best ways to get incredible images is to get up close and personal.
What You Should Know about Shooting Macro Photos The depth of field at these ranges is far shallower than you may be used to. Because of this, it's important to use the smallest F-stop possible for optimal crispness. Since you'll be using a small aperture setting, lighting your subject becomes critical. However, a catch-n occurs. Your camera's lens is often right up against the subject making adding light nearly impossible. You may need to compromise by settling for a wider aperture setting or getting creative with your light source.
Focusing is also critical because at this magnification, the slightest blur becomes a major distraction. The shallow depth of field can be your best friend or your worst enemy when it comes to shooting macro images. Use it to draw attention to your subject just as you would when shooting other images with shallow depths of field. Understand that you can minimize this effect by closing the aperture but doing so requires compensation in the form of more light or longer exposure times.
Since longer exposure times require complete stillness during exposure, use a tripod and a shutter cable (or timer) to ensure that the camera doesn't move while taking the picture. If you're using a digital camera, you will be able to see the results immediately and make adjustments as needed.
Uses for Macro Photography
Besides being fun, macro photography has a variety of uses. Imagine jazzing up your travel photos by including macro shots of the local currency or seashells on the beaches of Perth. Artists often use macro shots of flowers, fruits, and other subjects that they plan to paint. Macro photography also has its practical uses. For example, when taking a home inventory, take macro shots of serial and model numbers to further document your possessions. Selling products on eBay? Include macro images of details that either will entice buyers or inform them of the item's condition.
The more you use macro photography, the more you'll start seeing the world a little bit differently. Get up close and personal with your subjects and create stunning, intimate images.
Breast Augmentation Tucson Guide
Having breast augmentation comes with a lot of questions. Should I go the route of getting implants or a more natural method? Many women are now choosing to have a breast augmentation without surgery. This is because it can get rid of their problem areas as well as let them have the breasts they have always desired. Here are the benefits of getting breast augmentation by natural means.
One natural method of augmentation uses your body's own fat. This is taken from areas where there is unwanted fat on your body. This can be your thighs, stomach, and many others areas. They suck out the fat with liposuction and then it is placed into the breast area for fuller, great looking breasts. You can find many of offices offering natural breast implants in Tucson Arizona.
One benefit of a naturally augmentation your breasts is they will feel natural. With breast implants sometimes they will not look as natural. This is because they often look stiff. Using fat from your own body helps the breasts look like you were born with them.
Another benefit is that transferring fat for a enhancing your bust nauturally does not interfere with a mammogram. Traditional implants do interfere. Mammograms are routinely required after a woman reaches the age of 40 so it's great that they do not interfere with detecting medical conditions, such as breast cancer.
When you get regular breast implants they often leave scars. That is because they have to make open incisions in order to place them inside you. However, with a natural method large incisions are not involved so there are virtually no scars.
Not having to put foreign items into your body is another advantage to breast implants naturally. Unlike implants that were never part of your body, a natural breast augmentation uses fat that was already in your body. This eliminates the risks associated with foreign materials in your body.
One of the disadvantages of breast implants is they are often recommended to be replaced after ten years or so. With a natural breast enhancements such as found in Breast Augmentation In Tucson this is not required . This is because you are using your own fat that was already in your body before the augmentation. Changes in shape may occur due to pregnancy or gaining weight but otherwise another procedure is not needed.
Lastly, a great benefit is that you don't have to worry about it deflating like implants. There is also no chance that it will leak since it's not an implant but fat from your body. This is a much safer option because the material in implants can cause health issues if it leaks into your body.
There are so many benefits to enhancing your breasts naturally. These include having breasts that feel and look natural, they do not leave scars like normal implants, they don't interfere with mammograms, you do not have to put anything foreign into your body, and they do not leak or deflate. Naturally augmenting the size of your breasts is a big decision. By looking at all the advantages you will be able to figure out if this procedure is right for you.

Polk County says goodbye to Billy Croker
The Latest Local News from the Rome News
Family and friends gathered at First Baptist Church in Cedartown today to celebrate the life of one of Polk County's greatest business and political leaders.
Billy Croker, remembered for both his thrift and charity, his compassion and zeal, was laid to rest at Northview Cemetery following morning services.
The 79-year-old county commissioner had just started out earlier in the year taking the helm of the board of commissioners as chairman.
Croker's accomplishments – from helping to create the Northwest Georgia Regional Commission to providing countless people with charity in Polk County – were named by many who attended the service.
Longtime friend Ray Merritt reminded those in attendance that Croker's life wasn't all about politics or business. Merritt said Croker enjoyed conversation with everyone he came into contact with, and especially enjoyed sharing jokes with friends.
"Billy always liked to pick on me, and I liked to pick on him," he said.
Merritt believes his friend was in a better place and looking down on everyone with a smile on his face.
"Heaven awaits, the gates are open, and they're calling for you to come on in Billy," he said.
Jean Crane, who considered Croker a major influence on her life, said she would always remember how much passion Croker had for sitting and talking with people, but that his favorite topic was politics.
"With Billy, it wasn't about agreeing with him, he just liked to talk and debate," Crane said. "I liked from time to time to take the opposite side just to hear what he'd have to say about something."
Ronnie Wood, a local engineer, said Croker's influence will remain with the community for years to come.
"It think when you step back and look at it all, Billy's achievements in this county are unparalleled," Wood said. "He's a local political statesman, and a one of a kind."
Polk County Commissioner Jennifer Hulsey said Croker was always an individual looking to do good, and was the definition of loyal.
"Billy was just Billy," she said. "He love to laugh and joke around, but he was also quick to say what he thought, no matter the consequences."
Hulsey closed her remarks with what she said is a fitting tribute to Croker, by asking those gathered: "What are you going to do for Polk County?"
Police cars and fire trucks accompanied the funeral procession to Northview Cemetery, where American Legion Post 86 Honor Guard performed full military rites.

Network of legal clinics for veterans proposed
The Latest Local News from the Rome News
Efforts are underway to establish a legal clinic to assist veterans in the Rome and Northwest Georgia area.
Steve Shewmaker is an Atlanta-area attorney whose firm, Shewmaker & Shewmaker, handles a significant amount of military legal matters. He said a number of attorneys have expressed interest in establishing such a service in Rome.
The clinic would provide legal assistance to qualifying veterans, for services other than those that have a direct bearing on Veteran's Administration issues. It would most likely operate out of the VA medical clinic at 30 Chateau Drive.
"Attorneys meet face-to-face with veterans and then those attorneys will either assist veterans on the spot, a one-time consult, educate the veteran and send them on their way," Shewmaker said. "If more work is required, if that attorney feels competent to handle that particular matter, they may take on the individual as a client."
They also could refer the veteran to another participating attorney.
Cary S. King, another Atlanta attorney with veterans experience, said his goal is to set up two or three of these clinics a year until there is a legal clinic wherever there is a VA medical clinic.
"This needs to go all over the state," King said.
The group is working with the Military Legal Assistance Program of the State Bar of Georgia. It's recruiting attorneys who can help in various sectors — from family practice and bankruptcy to criminal cases and real estate issues.
"We're very enthused about doing something in Rome," said Norman Zoller, director of the Military Legal Assistance Program for the state bar. "I do get a lot of calls from up there."
Zoller said the state has a memorandum of understanding with the VA.
Floyd Superior Court Judge Walter Matthews, a Vietnam-era veteran of the U.S. Navy, said he's interested in hearing more about the program. He said he wants someone knowledgeable in veterans' legal issues to speak to the local judges, district attorneys office and public defenders.
"We're going to find that information out," Matthews said.
King said Rome attorney Terry Haygood is spearheading the effort to recruit local attorneys to participate in the program.
Virginia Harman, an attorney at McRae, Stegall, Peek, Harman, Smith and Manning, said her firm is sponsoring an annual award for a person who has made a meaningful impact on the lives of local veterans.
The award will be named after the firm founders — Oscar Smith, Charles Shaw, and James D. Maddox Award — who were all veterans.

Llynfi BMX track at Coegnant inspires regeneration hope
A former colliery site has been transformed into Wales' first national-standard BMX bike track.
It is hoped the Llynfi BMX Track, at the former Coegnant Colliery at Caerau, near Maesteg in Bridgend county, will help regenerate the area.
Built over two years to specifications endorsed by British Cycling, the track opens to the public on Monday.
"We'll be able to pull in people from across Britain and further afield," said project spokesman Eugene Dubens.
The track features a starting hill, 90 degree turns and a variety of jumps - some as high as 2.3m (7ft 6in) - and has been built with 7,000 tonnes of soil.
Spectator areas and car parking facilities complete the venue, which is surrounded by a tall security fence to prevent motorcycle riders using the track.
The project was conceived by the Caerau Development Trust in partnership with Bridgend council, the Welsh Government and Maesteg council.
"Start Quote
End Quote Eugene DubensWhat we are trying to do is to tap into tourism and other ways of regenerating the area"
Mr Dubens, the Caerau co-ordinator of the Communities First scheme - set up to improve the living conditions and prospects of people in Wales' most disadvantaged communities - described the track as "a significant new facility" for BMX biking, now an Olympic sport.
"The unique feature of this track compared to other tracks in Wales is that it's built to national standards that have been endorsed by British Cycling [the UK's governing body of cycling]," he said.
"What that means is that we can host regional and national competitions on the track."
Mr Dubens said the track had been developed and would be run for and by the local community.
- BMX stands for Bicycle Motocross
- The sport enjoyed great popularity in the early 1980s and has enjoyed a recent resurgence
- Up to eight riders race around a 300-400m track, with jumps, bump and berms (banked corners).
- Riders from all areas and backgrounds, starting from four years of age and running up to 40-plus, race against riders of their own age or ability
- A race is contested by up to 8 riders, with the first over the finish line winning

"What we are trying to do is to tap into tourism and other ways of regenerating the area," explained.
"We are close to Afan Forest where people travel from all over to go mountain biking, and it was a question of how does a rundown area tap into that? With a BMX track.
"It's a local facility but also a regional hub."
Sunk in 1882, in 1913 Coegnant Colliery employed 1,900 men. Its maximum output reached 309,177 tons in 1920. The colliery was wound up by the National Coal Board in 1982.
David Sage, Bridgend council deputy leader, applauded Caerau Development Trust for its vision and innovation in developing the project.
"The way in which this former industrial site has been given a fresh lease of life is a clear example of how we can all work in partnership to deliver not only a first-rate new facility for the local community, but also a facility that will help to put that community on the map," he said.
Monday's opening will be marked with BMX demonstrations, challenges, free coaching sessions, professional and amateur races, prizes, live music and graffiti art workshops.
The council said plans were being considered to create more community facilities on the former colliery site, including a sports barn, affordable housing and a multi-purpose rugby and football field.

The momentum vector distributions of fragment ions produced through the Coulomb explosion of small molecules such as NO, and in intense laser fields (∼1 PW/cm2) are measured by the mass-resolved momentum imaging (MRMI) technique. For NO, the MRMI maps for a single pathway, are extracted from the observed MRMI maps on the basis of the momentum matching of the and ion pair. In the MRMI maps for the fragment ions produced from and their ultrafast structural deformation both along the stretching coordinate and along the bending coordinate is identified. The ∠O–C–O angle distribution of spreads significantly (FWHM ∼40°), and the ∠O–N–O bond angle of increases toward a linear configuration within the ultrashort duration of the laser pulse. This type of deformation is also identified for These structural deformations are most reasonably interpreted as a consequence of the formation of light-dressed potential energy surfaces.

Arizona Cardinals
Report: Cardinals negotiating with Keim for GM spot
Lost somewhat in the shuffle of the Arizona Cardinals' search for a head coach is the fact that the team is also looking for a general manager.
Rod Graves, who had been with the organization since 1997, was fired the same day as former head coach Ken Whisenhunt.
Last week, the team met with Morocco Brown, the director of player personnel for the Washington Redskins about the post, but other than that, the rumor mill has been pretty stagnant.
Tuesday morning, Albert Breer of NFL Network reported that the Cardinals appear to be zeroing in on an in-house candidate.
Arizona VP of player personnel Steve Keim has entered into negotiations to become the Cardinals' next GM. Also a finalist in Jacksonville.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) January 8, 2013
Keim, Arizona's vice president of player personnel, has been with the organization since 1999 and, as Breer mentions, is a candidate for other general manager openings around the league. In fact, Breer reported Monday that Keim, along with Atlanta Falcons director of player personnel David Caldwell were the favorites for Jacksonville's GM job.

Those of us who switch on the TV to ring in well-deserved downtime and find commercials waiting or flip through a high-gloss magazine to find artistically appealing adverts know: With the help of their marketing departments filled with the best of the best, globally recognized businesses are continuously fine tuning the image of their company as well as of their products. It is, after all, the image of a business that is outwardly presented which vastly influences product recognition and success. But a "corporate identity" is not only important to multi-million dollar, internationally active business.
For those who wish to hire out items at attractive prices, Erento is where you want to be. After all, there is a continuously growing community looking to hire items online. Why buy winter sports or trekking equipment that is just used for one week and then clutter up the garage? But even the best offer means nothing if there are virtually infinite similar offers out there.
Successfully hiring out items is not witchcraft. To take advantage of hire platforms as effectively as possible, all you have to do is follow a handful of tips to optimally design your own profile.
Every day more than 100 billion business emails are sent out worldwide (Statista). Even for those of you who have a hire business, email has become the most important means of communication between you and your customers. This is why excellent communication through email is such a deciding factor for your well running hire business. And, this is also why we would like to use today's article to show you some of the various email types which are relevant to you as a hire business. Furthermore, we will give you some tips on how to improve your emails.
People who hire items out, usually count on getting the item back in one piece after being hired out. However, not every hire customer is as careful with such items as the people who hire them out would like them to be. And, accidents do happen which can make a newer high-quality and fully functional trailer ripe for the junkyard.
Legally everything is clearly laid out: Whoever should damage the property of another, must reimburse the owner for the damages. But if worst comes to worst, problems will most certainly arise. When the hire customer denies being responsible for the damages, people who hire out have the cards stacked against them. They now have to survive a financially intensive and exhausting legal battle which, in the worst case scenario, they will lose anyway. After all, it is not just the truth that counts in a legal dispute, but first and foremost the proof.
Content Marketing – has this term crossed your path in the past year? It is one of currently most discussed topics in the internet. This is also why we have chosen it for today's topic. The most efficient tool to manage content marketing has already been presented by Santana in her blog post, the Corporate Blog. Today, we will have a look at what content marketing is (specifically for hire companies with their own websites) and which goals can be achieved using good content.
Great product descriptions are key in getting good quality leads through hire platforms such as Erento. Your potential customers are more likely to contact you, if your product descriptions offer them all the information they need, and make selecting the right product easy.
This is why devoting time and effort into crafting descriptions for your product is a smart investment.
But what exactly is a great product description? In this article, we'll share our 5 most important tips!
How do customers get in contact with you? Sure, a lot of them call you. But we are sure you have seen an increase in customer enquiries via the internet. After all, more and more customers are using online platforms to gather information about products or services before they purchase or hire something. This is why we will take the chance today to present you with important factors which will influence customer satisfaction in online marketplaces such as Erento. The reality is that only truly satisfied customers come back, recommend your products or services to others and continue to be loyal to you in the long run.
Do you also believe that a picture says more than a thousand words? It does not matter if it is on Facebook, Twitter, your blog or on your own website; your entries should not be just a sea of text. This is why we use images, diagrams, and infographics on websites, company blogs and within social media activities. They help to attract more attention and spark more interest within potential customers. In today's post, you will find tips and tools to show you how to use your images in order to add more value to your content.
Erento wishes you a happy and successful New Year!
We have a lot to look forward to this year, and not only in developing a stronger relationship with our partners and customers. We are proud to introduce Erento's new branding – and most specifically our new logo.
Enjoy quality time with your family this season, we at the Erento editorial department will also be slowing things down and closing until the start of the New Year.

Why Northstar Realty Finance (NRF) Stock Is Jumping Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Northstar Realty Finance (NRF) are up 4.68% to $16.90 after the finance company agreed to buy Griffin-American Healthcare REIT II, for about $3.4 billion, expanding its holdings of medical-office buildings and senior housing, Bloomberg reports.
Stockholders of Griffin-American, a real estate investment trust that isn't traded on exchanges, will receive $11.50 a share, comprising $7.75 in cash and the rest in NorthStar common stock, the companies said today in a statement. NorthStar also will assume about $600 million of debt.

- The revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 9.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 47.8%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $53.70 million or 25.82% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, NORTHSTAR REALTY FINANCE CP has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -58.18%.
- NORTHSTAR REALTY FINANCE CP has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, NORTHSTAR REALTY FINANCE CP continued to lose money by earning -$1.10 versus -$4.52 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($2.05 versus -$1.10).
- The share price of NORTHSTAR REALTY FINANCE CP has not done very well: it is down 17.86% and has underperformed the S&P 500, in part reflecting the company's sharply declining earnings per share when compared to the year-earlier quarter. The fact that the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings is not reason enough to justify a buy rating at this time.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 348.9% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $47.96 million to -$119.37 million.

Westermann poised for Hamburg switch
Heiko Westermann is to complete his transfer from Schalke to Hamburg today after meeting club representatives in the northern Germany city. The Germany international was released by the Royal Blues from their training camp in Austria yesterday to enable him to travel to Hamburg, where he discussed terms on what is reported to be a five-year contract. He was due back in Gelsenkirchen today to say farewell to his former team-mates before making the permanent move north. "He has flown to Dusseldorf because he is preparing for a transfer to HSV," revealed Schalke coach Felix Magath on his club's website. "It seems both parties have a verbal agreement. We now have to see if that gets put down on paper. I expect the transfer to go through." The 26-year-old, who has been linked with Sunderland, was one of Schalke's biggest earners having only recently signed a new contract until 2014. "I did not have any perspective for a regular place in the Schalke team in my favourite position," he explained to the Revier Sport newspaper. "Therefore, I wanted to change clubs. Things are different at HSV. "In Hamburg, they were looking for a central defender. I think that I can show off my strengths well here." Given the club's financial worries, the opportunity to strike him from the wage bill and earn a transfer fee believed to be around 7.5 million euros was too great for Magath to turn down, particularly since he has signed two new central defenders in Christoph Metzelder and Kyriakos Papadopoulos this summer. "We have plenty of cover in defence so this is an area where we can most easily compensate a loss," explained Magath. "Heiko does not want to leave because he is scared of the battle for places, even though I cannot promise him a place in the centre of our defence. "But it is also obvious that we will miss Heiko. He has a very good attitude, has always trained well and achieved a lot as captain of our team. "If the financial situation had been better here, a transfer would never have been an issue."

As more independent mechanics say manufacturers deny them access to data, states debate 'right to repair' laws.
To uncover many car problems at his four Massachusetts and Rhode Island repair shops, Stan Morin exchanges small gifts with friends at local dealerships. It's not that Mr. Morin or his mechanics lack the qualifications to diagnose car troubles, rather they say they can't get the same service information provided to dealerships.
Morin spends thousands of dollars a year to subscribe to manufacturer websites, but his diagnostic reports sometimes have nearly 20 pages less than those provided to dealers – pages that can mean the difference between finding the problem or referring the customer to another shop. So, he's forced to barter with dealership mechanics for access to their computerized diagnostic tools to keep his customers. "I need to do what I need to do to survive as a businessman," says Morin.
Many independent mechanics charge that, as cars have become more advanced, manufacturers have limited their access to engine computers, impeding repairs and forcing drivers to seek the help of an authorized dealership. That could lead to higher prices for repairs, mechanics say, a prospect to which they say drivers already pumping more of their paychecks into their cars should pay attention. Manufacturers insist that mechanics are given all the information required to make repairs and only stopped from accessing sensitive information, such as part blueprints or security information.

text: World's largest solar bridge project gets underwayBy Matthew Knight, CNNUpdated 1722 GMT (0022 HKT) October 5, 2011A CGI image of how the new solar panels will look on the roof of the new Blackfriars rail station in LondonStory highlightsNew solar array will be largest on a bridge anywhere in the world, say developersBlackfriars Railway Bridge in central London will carry 4,400 photovoltaic solar cells on roofPV panels will create 900,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year, generating 50% of new station's power New station due for completion in 2012Work on the world's largest solar bridge has started in central London.The new solar roof spanning Blackfriars Railway Bridge above the River Thames will cover more than 6,000 square meters when finished, according to developers. Over 4,400 individual photovoltaic panels are expected to produce around 900,000 kilowatt hours of electricity every year, providing the station with half of its energy needs, according to Solar Century, the UK company installing the solar roof. Annual CO2 emissions are also expected to be reduced by more than 500 tons. "It's fantastic to see this project finally come to fruition. Blackfriars Bridge is an ideal location for solar," Derry Newman, chief executive of Solar Century, said in a statement. "For people to see that solar power is working is a vital step towards a clean energy future," he added. Built in 1886, the railway bridge is being transformed as part of an upgrade by Network Rail -- the owner and operator of rail infrastructure in the UK -- to the existing Blackfriars station."The Victorian rail bridge at Blackfriars is part of our railway history. Constructed in the age of steam, we're bringing it bang up to date with 21st century solar technology to create an iconic station for the city," Lindsay Vamplew, Network Rail's project director for Blackfriars said in a statement. In addition to the solar panels (manufactured by the SANYO Electric Co. Ltd), the station will also include rain-harvesting systems and sun pipes for natural lighting. The solar roof and the new station are due to be completed by the summer of 2012.

Hands-on: Addison Lee app review
Addison Lee, not satisfied with being London's biggest alternative to the black cab, has created a new app to make it the most convenient too. This is the taxi company's second version of the app, re-designed from scratch. As such it's ironed out all the creases and created an impressive transport offering. One we enjoyed so much we feel a little lost now the review process is over.
Cabs can come quickly
Since Addison Lee went the iPhone-only option with this app it has obviously had plenty of time to focus on perfection. The result is a clean, simple and easy to use cab-calling platform. In its most basic form a user, upon opening the app, is met with a pick-up map which quickly pinpointed our location within seconds. Then a tap of the right arrow and a drop off point can be selected just as simply from the map.
A really nice touch here is the time it will take a driver to arrive being listed at the bottom of the pick-up screen. Users can move about the pick-up location to see if that speeds up the arrival, if they're in a rush. It's genuinely useful to have this at a glance rather than calling to find out how long a wait is expected on a pick-up.
We set a pick-up at a station, arrived on the Underground a minute before, and the car was waiting ready. An impressively seamless way of travelling that we could definitely get used to.
The finer details
The next steps are a case of choosing from a selection of options. The time can be "ASAP" or "Later" to select a specific date and time. The "Passenger" section decides what size car will be sent, either under four persons or over. Then users can choose between a Standard, VIP or Hybrid car – probably depending on wallet size and environmental conscience.
Then users have the option to add a note to remember what the ride was for, which appears in a confirmation email for one's records. Finally there is payment, which can be in cash on drop-off, from an account, or by card through the app.
Track your driver
Once a job has been logged the app will store it in the "My Bookings" section.
The current job, when selected, shows where the driver is. Selecting this option immediately brings up a map with the user location and the driver's vehicle. The car can be tracked as it moves closer on the map with an estimated time of arrival updating too. This information updates automatically every 30 seconds. When we used it the timings were spot on, to within a few seconds.
It was really reassuring to be able to see how far away the car was and to know exactly when it would arrive. Tracking the driver's choice of route was quite fun in an oddly voyeuristic way. Ideal if you're waiting inside a bar, it's raining outside and the company is boring you.
Fast track
Regularly used addresses can be placed in a "Favourites" section so pick-up or drop-off is a one-touch affair. A home address can also be set so when out and about a simple "Take Me Home" selection will do exactly that with few other actions needed. For users with regular routes these options could be really helpful as a time saving assistant.
There are also options to search for a location using text, find a spot using a map pin, or to scroll through lists of useful locations like airports.
Final thoughts
While Addison Lee is still one of the more expensive taxi options, you get what you pay for. The cars are always a high quality Ford Galaxy, when choosing the standard option. And the service is, in our experience, usually very professional.
The app makes ordering a car almost too easy, especially with the ability to pay by card or account. It sort of feels like a free ride since cash is never changing hands – potentially dangerous for the old bank balance then.
While we can see this app taking the pride of place on the iPhone home screen of many regular users, who have an account, it might be a little pricey for others. Nonetheless this is a great app to have to get users out of trouble when stuck, late or without cash. But with competition from the likes of Uber and black cab calling service GetTaxi, it's got its work cut out.
