[SI] Geotags - examples

[SI Committee]

As it turns out one of our shooters has been quietly geotagging some of
his SI photos for quite some time. With that, the inauguration of the
Shootin Geo Tag page has retroactively begun.

Maybe you could create a "group" in Panoramio for SI, perhaps making
collation of submitted photos more simple.
There is a "games and competitions" group category for this purpose.

It seems that there were at least another 25 of my SI submissions which
I had tagged when submitted, but were missed by overburdened SI
Committees, past and current. Some show as tagged in thier respective
Mandates, others not.

Check your Skype for a GDrive link to those files, as submitted. The
Committee can decide how best to make use of them.

The committee did notice that and will make a deeper review soon.

But the notion of the SI / geotagging (to us) is just additional
interesting information.

The SI chairman also has the problem that some of the photos he put in
the SI are already in Panoramio under his secret identity - so it will
result in the same photo showing twice. We'll probably remove the
chairman's SI versions after a bit.

[SI Committee]

There are many there that would not pass the Panoramio criteria for
posting there. They would show in the collection but would not get
mapped to Google Maps/Earth.

That's not that important for our purposes, but we'd suggest material
that is not "geographically" related not be posted there. Like your
C-47 shot, for example - not to mention your various car emblems/badges,
etc.

The SI chairman just swam 3 km and is not much into going through that
set right now. He also has a riotous orgy planned for Saturday. Maybe
Sunday - his head won't be of much use for anything else anyway.

As the Committee Communications Officer related in a recent posting on
the subject of geotags, pbase has a geotag "checkbox" that has to be set
correctly at the time of uploading to retain the tags and show them on
pbase. Administrators and the overburdened data management sub
committee may not have paid attention to that in the past.

For that we suggest you set up your own Panoramio.

To do that, if you haven't already done so, set up a gmail account.

That account is also your Panoramio account. (Many/Most "application"
websites provided by Google (Panoramio, Google+, Google Docs (Google
Drive), and so on) are all accessed/ible with a single "gmail" account
as the id. It's quite practical. Just mind your private data.

Panoramio does not require a gmail account.

Straw man. I couldn't care less about what -you- need, it
substantiates you're full of shit for those who may wonder which of us

But Panoramio is keeping those several reasons a secret, but you found

Because you're full of shit.

What about those in the 4 groups to which you are posting that might

I'll pass on that. Was just wondering if you wanted additional
pictures to seed the Panoramio you are setting up. But I got my
answer. It make sense to restrict it to just SI submissions.

What about previous SI submissions that didn't include GPS data at the
time, would you like some of those resubmitted with GPS data? Or
don't bother about it?

The Committee's enthusiasm for it is tempered by the work that may be
involved. But if there are some you have submitted to the SI that you'd
like retro-loaded to Panoramio:

- e-mail us the photo WITH the geotag in it. (address in sig).

-OR-

- send a link to the photo on pbase
- along with the lat/long of where the shot was taken from
(not the lat/long of the subject).

And the data management sub-committee will put them up in good time.

[Alan Browne]

I'm not asserting anything other than that even you can find why. At
least 1 good reason is very obvious and the other is evident enough.

Other reasons I would concede as arguable - that is to say 'in the eye
of the beholder'.

There are only 2 people with an interest to date. AFAICT, 'duck doesn't
have a Panoramio account and doesn't care to have one. He's savvy
enough to figure out on his own what's best for him. And per otter's
recent post he's even more ambivalent.

You're obviously brilliant enough (you caught my earlier error which I
made no bones about) to figure the rest for yourself. And if you don't
believe me you can just imagine how much I care.

Yup!
I have never been a great fan of Panoramio even though I like he concept.
I have a Gmail account, I use Picasa Web, & G+, Panoramio always seemed
to be an intrusive blight on Google Earth, so I turn it off.
In some geographic locations the blanket of Panoramio images makes
Google Earth useless. Sometimes Google does too much to integrate its
products, so I keep Panoramio and a lot of other clutter turned off in
GE unless I have a specific itch which needs to be scratched.

That said, I can understand that Panoramio serves a purpose for those
with the ability to tag images, and who wish to have the locations of
some of their images displayed. It also serves a purpose as one of many
tools for those who care to locate where tagged SI submissions were
shot.

I just hold that Geo-tagging adds an interesting element to all images
for those with even the slightest bit of curiosity about the World
around them.

I have been fascinated with the potential of GPS and having the ability
to tag about 90% of my images so that those I share the images with can
access the location data if they care to. Call it my "Easter egg" for
those who enjoy such things.
There are of course times GPS data is stripped for various reasons when
I post an image.

photographic work to a future SI?

I have not used geotagging. However, during the last two days I was
roaming around in Dutchess and Colombia Counties, looking for bucolic
scenery. It would be nice if I could easily return to shoot those scenes
under various lighting conditions. There may very well be a geotagging
in my future.

[Savageduck]

A use is discovered!

For your Nikon DSLR I would suggest stepping up and buy a Nikon GP-1. I
leave mine on all the time, mounted in the hot-shoe. Unless I need to
use my SB-800. Then I just let it hang from the 10-pin connector cable.

--

Savageduck

[Eric Stevens]

Don't you use your cable release?

Regards,

Eric Stevens

[Savageduck]

If I have to use my wireless remote, or my cable release which both
connect via the 10-pin plug, I first consider if I am shooting indoors
or outdoors. Also when using a remote release you don't usually move
the camera around too much. If indoors, I know I am not likely to get a
good GPS fix anyway. So it is easy enough to take a locating reference
shot outside the building, disconnect the GP-1, and continue shooting
using whichever remote release I have decided on, either my Nikon MC-30
or my Phottix Plato wireless remote;
< http://www.phottixstore.com/store/wireless-remotes/phottix-plato.html >

I can then tag the finished indoor files with the GPS location data
from the reference shot.
The same can be done when using a 10-pin connect remote release
outdoors. Just shoot a reference location shot and tag the other shots
in post using the reference data.

...or if you have any other means of recording a waypoint or fix a
location you can use that device (a dedicated GPS logger, or a smart
phone, such as an iPhone) to obtain a location reference shot so you
can add tags to the product shots in post.

False premise. Only 2 people have -expressed- an interest.

Of the 4 groups to which you post may be readers intrigued by
Panoramio and not interested in the SI.

Idiots never care that they're idiots.

Your "advice" is the equivalent of claiming IE is the best browser,
for several reasons:

1.

2.

3.

4.

You fall further afoul of sanity by asserting you know what is best or
most convenient for most people, something you have no method of
having determined.

Your supply of smoke to blow up asses seems unlimited, though, so you
got that going for you.

Yes, people post a lot of useless photos. Thankfully, Google Maps and
Earth both allow their suppression. I've posted nearly 300 photos to
PaRio, and frankly, I should go in there and remove about half.

True, "asserted" dis-interest. So you're "warm", otter is "lukewarm",
most of the others are varying degrees of chilly.

Given your "challenges" any others with that interest should have risen
their hands by now. As 'duck points out in his recent post, acceptance
of geotagging in the SI context have met with a chill wind.

That does not exclude them asking regardless of their interest in the SI.

Your supply of frustration is actually worrying to me. I suggest you

While you can certainly use the iPhone geo-tag data to tag images shot
with your DSLR, I agree, that is a royal PITA. What I was saying above,
was given more as a solution for providing you a geo-tagged reference
shot to facilitate a later return to past and future photography sites.
With your iPhone you are not limited to making that record with a
photograph. You can use one of the GPS apps such as MotionX-GPS to log
a trip and just set a waypoint for a location.
MotionX-GPS $0.99 <

Theodolite Pro $3.99 <
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/theodolite-pro/id339393884?mt=8 >
Adds a bit more, along with an integrated camera, so a shot which
includes useful information such as location and compass heading of the
shot, and more.
Something like this where the information is recorded as an iPhone
screen shot, as well as the image being geo-tagged.
< http://db.tt/H9lGaDjx >

GPS Notes has free & ad-free $0.99 version. This keeps track of your
location and if you want to mark a site, you drop a pin and attach a
note. Very simple and a record is noted. This is not a traditional GPS
application or an image file geo-tagger, it serves a simpler purpose.

That was intended as a response to Eric's question regarding use of a
remote release (cable release in NZ speak).

That extra work is only an issue if the 10-pin cable is being used for
something other than GPS.
Note: The newer Nikons use a dedicated GPS port, not the 10-pin plug.
That would make all of the above moot for owners of newer Nikon DSLRs.

As I stated in another response, the newer Nikon DSLRs have a dedicated
GSP port instead of the 10-pin plug, and would just use a different
cable with the GP-1.

Thanks for the app idea, Nest trip I may p;ay with it,. I also have GPS
in the car, and that is more convenient. I did make some of the key way
points, such as the Post Office at Malden Bridge, in the car, though few
images were actually tagged. What I really should do, i indicate which
images would be better shot, at what time of day, or under what lighting
conditions. Remember though the location is a over 130 miles from my home.

I know. But we don't really know if the GPS port wold be compatible. My
thought is to wait until I decide which new model to get, and then check
the compatibility issue. Some folks who know me well talked me out of
the D800.

For planning daylight, Sun & Moon rise, Sun & Moon set, for any
location on any date, there is "The Photographer"s Ephemeris
< http://photoephemeris.com/ >

check some of these screen shots for the type of information available
with this App, For what it does, not a bad value at $8.99.
< http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-photographers-ephemeris/id366195670?mt=8 >

The iPhone can be so much more than a phone.

Nikon lists the GP-1 as compatible with most of the usual suspects
including the D3 family, D4, D700, D800.

<

Nikon also has the GP-N100 which only functions on the Nikon 1 V1.

So I would say you could safely get the GP-1 and it should function
just fine with the new camera.

This app is not free. But, it shows the angle of the Sun Nd the Moon,
rising and setting, from any location, in addition to the time and

Nice and simple if time of the event is all you need.

That's neat. I often use Google Earth or Stellarium to look at sun
direction before going to particular places. I think for $9 I'll pass
on that app though.

(Stellarium, an astronomy application, is free. It's also available
for Windows and Linux. UI is a bit odd, but you get used to it).

No, I did work on it a little in post (lightroom), but not much. Just
toned down some parts that were blown out using recover. Maybe a few

Yes, of course.

Your spelling error punctuates your misuse of the term, otherwise I'd
never have mentioned it.

It is interesting to note your red herring tactic of latching onto my
mention of your spelling error and completely ignored addressing that
you have no idea of the meaning of non sequitur.

I think you're further establishing that your ignorance knows no
bounds.

> I don't use a spell checker or latin very much at all.   Sue me.

So you can't spell and don't avail yourself of a spell checker.
There's a surprise.

Red herring. First it's called, "Yes, you did say that".

Second, there's your problem, you don't know opinion from statement of
fact.

Either way you purport to know something you obviously have no method
of learning.

Ah, the ol' "I know something you don't know" song.

Imagine how effective that might be if there was a shred of evidence
to support it!

You already used the "I know something you don't know" song.
Unfortunately, you cannot disguise it's actually, "I imagine I know
something...".

> EOD for me.  Have the last word.

Again?! OK, thanks.

There's absolutely no reason to establish a gmail account to establish
a Panoramio account, any valid email address will do.

The purpose of Panoramio is to augment the usefulness of Google Earth,
for Earth users. It couldn't be easier or more convenient to use for
contributors.

The only plausible reason for your reluctance to reveal your secrets
is those secrets are entirely the product of your imagination.

Thanks again for providing this generous opportunity to correct your
misinformation.

I used the coordinates you sent. I'll move it over to the west edge of

Yes, it is neat. Maybe some of the naysayers will be as charmed.

Thanks, that is actually pretty close to where the picture was taken.
I didn't realize you could change the map type in GeoSetter, and all I
saw was a big green area in street view, so I made a guess that the
pool was close to label on the map, when it wasn't. Switching to
satellite view showed the error of my ways. Hey, I'm on a learning
curve here!

I saw the ghostly tree trunks as a multiple exposure. They just don't
look like light beams to me.

If you're "logged in" (another advantage of a gmail account), while in
Google Maps, you can right click and "drop" a lat long marker at a point
of interest. Copy/paste the coordinates (which will also be in the less
messy DDD.DDDDD format).

In Google Earth, you can drop a pin on a feature, then use "Get Info" to
get the coordinates. A little messier as a procedure.

You don't need to be logged in to do this. Look at the bottom of the
left-hand panel for "Maps Labs" in a barely readable font size. Clicking
on this will open up a panel where you can select various less or more
useful tools to use with Google Maps.

So it is. Didn't know that one - I enabled that under my account when
it came out a couple (few?) years ago and assumed it was attached to that.

Of course. There was nothing wrong with the other photos coordinates
you provided. There are so many tools and they aren't uniform in their
approach (good thing/bad thing).
