Photomode is a bust. I never use it and don't care about having my driver "stand" beside my car like a dope.
The locations are pretty cruddy, bad lighting, changes time too quickly, etc.
Don't get me wrong I love taking pictures (but mostly at race speed )
Weren't there photo locations in previous iterations such as the Grand Canyon or some other massive mountain range formation? I think it was in the intro of 3 or 4. Now THAT was stunning...
