I am a strong believer in location information. What is the point in talking about an issue, community or anything for that matter if we cannot pinpoint their location on Earth?

Geotagging^W is, simply said, tagging location information to an object – the object could be an image or a post office. But geotagging^W in photography is picking up since the entire process of capturing the location information (latitude, longitude, altitude and orientation) has been simplified since it can be directly written into EXIF^W data of the image.

I am a big fan of geotagging and the next few paragraphs I want to explain how to geotag photographs and create history (more…)

Geocoding is a method of assigning lat long info to objects. The new ‘Reverse Geocoding’ is picking the lat long info from an object e.g. a photograph, and looking for name of the place, country etc. related to that info.

I use RoboGeo to process my pictures and upload them to Flickr. RoboGeo offers ‘reverse geocoding’.

Geotagging your photographs could get messy sometimes. Though I have GPS receiver, D300 and necessary interface cables, I prefer not to connect my GPSr to D300 as the set up gets bulky. The other option is to use a software to synch up the GPSr tracklog with the timestamps of the photographs.

I decided to use and purchased a license for the same. RoboGEO offers lot of flexibility. Check their website

My first geotagged photograph using RoboGEO

Today I tried some long exposures on NICE road near Mysore road intersection.
