You have location data that is nowhere near where you actually took the photo from.
The app records that location at 12:02 and matches this to the 12:02 photo. You then carry on driving for a couple of minutes, and you get a mile down the road. The time for that exact loction on your phone / app says 12:00. You see a stunning view and shoot that out of the window. You are driving down the Pacific Coast Highway in California, a passenger in the car. Its only 2 minutes, yes, but think of this. The reason for this is, lets say your phone says it is 12 midday. This is because the location from the GPS app at any given time, will look for the same time in a photo, and apply that location data. This is the most important thing you have to do when getting ready to GeoTag your photos, is to make sure the date and time on your phone matches exactly the date and time on your camera. The Most Importing thing to do to GeoTag your Photos Now, let’s move onto to how I use it, and how useful I find it. It is so simple, you probably won’t even need instructions.
IMAGE GEOTAG HOW TO
Just search for GeoTag Photos in the App Store or Google Play, and download to your phone.įull instructions on how to use it can be found over on their website. It is a simple app, you don’t need to have an internet connection for it to work either! If it doesn’t though, then you will need the help of a Third Party App. Bear in mind though, that this option does suck the battery life up more than usual. All you need to to is activate the function, make sure it pick up a satellite, and away you go. I am more than happy to shoot with my Canon 5d Mk3, as it still takes great photos, despite being 9 years old! Unfortunately, though, it doesn’t have the built in ability to GeoTag photos. My Canon 1DX mk2 has, but I don’t tend to take this on trips, as it is too big, heavy and bulky.
Some cameras have the ability to GeoTag the photos built in, when the photo is taken. I love this, as it is great to look back, click on a pin, and see the photos that were taken at any given location. The other is from our 2017 Canada Road Trip, using the Lightroom map module. One from the old iPhoto system of our 2013 USA Road Trip. I also like looking back on trips, and seeing the route we took. Or perhaps you just want to use it to reminisce?
Perhaps you want to go back and try again when the lighting is better. Well for me, it is just another way to exploit and take advantage of technology, but it is also a great way to remind yourself exactly where a photo is taken. What are the benefits of adding GeoTags or Location Data to your photos? Now look closely at the GeoTag photos, and then look closely at the map where the photo is pinned. If you look at the photo, you can see it is the entrance to Santa Monica Pier, in California. See below, a shot showing one photo and its location on the map. This means the map coordinates are included in the photo, and the location can be seen on the appropriate software.įor example, Apply Photos and Adobe Lightroom can both show the map location of a GeoTagged photo. Simple put, a GeoTag is the location of the photo embedded in the image itself. What is a GeoTag, and why would I add it to my Photos?
