How to Geotag Images

Over on the Digital Photography School blog, there’s a new article about Geotagging images.

In this post Colin Spencer gives us a good introduction to how to Geotag images. You can see some of Colin’s images here and learn more about him at the conclusion of this article.

When I first started using flickr, I mapped some of the images I’d taken. The main issue I had with this was that my ONLINE version of a photo was tagged, my OFFLINE version wasn’t. I started geotagging my offline images a few months ago, unfortunately I don’t have a GPS device to automatically do it, but I found a cool freeware program called GeoSetter that does a wonderful job!

flickr Places

The folks at flickr have been busy updating the maps in the geotagging area of things… they’ve also added flickr Places:

The Places project is our way of saying thank you to all our members who’ve taken the time to put their gorgeous photos on a map. Browse the whole globe, from your hometown to your favorite place, or places you’ve never even heard of…

It’s pretty cool… you can check out flickr Places here, and you can also check out Photos taken in Spruce Grove on flickr!
