As a photographer I love to 'geotag' my photos when I travel. Not only do I think it's a neat technology, I just like the fact that I'll be able to more easily answer the 'where was that photo taken?' question. I've given this tip a number of differnt times during presentations and in other posts, but I thought it was time to update it and give some additional tips.
This is manual Geotagging! Way 3: Use Aperture 3.5. If you have a camera without a GPS then you can easily add the location data to your snapped pictures using Aperture 3.5. It is a photo editing and photo management software that has the capability to Geotag photos even if the photos are clicked with a GPS disabled device. How to geotag photos: 1. Upload JPG-images 2. Existing geotags are shown on the map 3. Set the marker or enter the latitude and longitude manually 4. Optionally add additional EXIF tags 5. Hit the button Write EXIF Tags 6. Download the geotagged image 1. Upload JPG-images 2. Existing geotags are shown 3. Set the marker 4. I am using RoboGeo also. No problems tagging DNGs, and the tags show up in Lightroom where you can click and see the waypoint on a map.If you sync your GPS (Garmin E-Trek,see RoboGeo site for other GPSs) and your camera clock, the pictures can be automatically tagged according to the time they were taken.RoboGeo has mostly eliminated the tedious task of GeoTagging. Just use your digital camera to take a photo of gps4cam displaying a QR-code. Load that photo, along with your other photos, into HoudahGeo - Synching HoudahGeo with your camera clock is now automatic. With the QR-code photo, HoudahGeo can figure out what time zone your camera was set to and by how much the clock was off.

The Problem: Your camera doesn't have a built-in or external GPS
If you're shooting with a regular point and shoot or DSLR camera, chances are it doesn't have a built-in GPS chip. Although there are a few cameras out there that do have them, the vast majority do not have them. On the other hand the cameras in your iPhone and WiFi+3G iPad do have actual GPS chips in them. This means that by defualt every picture you take is tagged with Location Information in the metadata of the image. Your various desktop applications like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture, Preview, etc. can use this information and display a map pointing out where the photo was taken. The question becomes how do you get this Location information into the shots that you took with a camera that doesn't have a GPS chip in it?
There are a few ways to do it
iPhoto – chances are as a Mac user you already have iPhoto. iPhoto is a photo management tool and whether you use it to manage your photos or not, you can use its easy ability to 'copy' location information and 'Paste Location' information into other photos. The tip is to simply take at least one iPhone/iPad 2 photo at each location and then go ahead and shoot with your regular camera. When you get back to your computer, import both the iPhone shots and your regular shots into iPhoto. Now just highlight the iPhone shot and choose Copy from the Edit menu. Select all the photos taken at the same location with your other camera and right-click on them and choose Paste Location. iPhoto will add the location information to each of those photos. Aperture can do this too.
HoudahGeo – While the 'free' iPhoto option works fine, I actually prefer to do this with HoudahGeo. I don't use iPhoto to manage my photos. i use Lightroom. Importing and exporting the shots into iPhoto adds too many steps to my workflow just to get Location Information into my DSLR shots. HoudahGeo is a stand alone application that can add Location information to your images from a vareity of different sources including other images. This means that I can import images into Lightroom as I always do, then I can drag those same images into HoudahGeo. I can choose one of my iPhone shots and copy and paste the coordinates from the iPhone shoot to all my RAW (DNG) files. Once I go back to Lightroom I just tell Lightroom to update the metadata from the images. Done!
the shot above is being displayed in Lightroom with GPS info. Click the image to see it on the map!

Geotag as you shoot – My favorite method is to simply geotag my photos as i take them. As a Nikon DSLR shooter I have the benefit of having GPS 'support' built right in to my Nikon DSLRs. The only thing that's missing is the actual GPS unit. Nikon doesn't build the actual GPS modules into their DSLRs yet. Instead you have to plug in an external module. There are several to choose from and no matter which one you go with, you can then just shoot! Just like with your iPhone, your Nikon DSLR images will be tagged with Location Information as you take them.
Here are some Nikon Compatible GPS units. Here's one that let's you use your iPhone's GPS via Bluetooth and another that uses a separate small GPS unit as you shoot with your DSLR. Pretty Slick!
Once those photos are geotagged now what?

Once you get the Location Information into your photos chances are you'll be ready to display this information. There are several ways to do it. First off and back to iPhoto. iPhoto can display your photos on a Map. That's what the Places feature is. Not only that iPhoto can use this in your slideshows and photo books too. This is also built-in to your iOS devices Photos App too. In Lightroom you can click the little arrow next to the coordinates and it will fire up your browser and show you the location on Google Maps. If you upload the photos to Flickr (and adjust your privacy settings) your photos will automatically be mapped as well. Even the Preview App can show you a map of your photos and show them to you on Google Maps. Those are just a few ways to see where your photos were taken.

Description of HoudahGeo is a photo geocoding and geotagging tool for Mac. Use HoudahGeo to attach GPS coordinates and location names to your photos. HoudahGeo writes EXIF and XMP geotags to JPEG and RAW image files. This creates a permanent record of where a photo was taken. Just like a GPS-enabled camera. HoudahGeo is the only application that can both write future-proof GPS tags to original images and add also locations to photos in the Apple Photos, iPhoto and Aperture libraries. Geotagging with HoudahGeo follows an easy 3-step workflow: Load, Process, then Output. * Start by loading photos into a HoudahGeo project. Optionally add GPS track logs. * Use the built-in map to assign or adjust photo locations. Use reverse geocoding to add city, state / province and country names. * Write location information to the original image files. Export the project for viewing in Google Earth or Google My Maps. Upload to Flickr. Feature highlights: * Supports many methods of geocoding: GPS track logs, built-in maps, Google Earth, etc. * Write GPS data, location names, title, description and keywords to EXIF, XMP and IPTC tags * Works with JPEG as well as a large number of RAW file formats. It also supports XMP sidecar files. * Integrates with Apple Photos, iPhoto, Aperture, and Adobe Lightroom * Automatic geocoding using GPS track logs * Geocoding using reference photos taken using iPhone or a GPS camera * Geocoding without a GPS. Use the built-in map to double-check, adjust, or assign locations to your photos * Reverse geocoding fills in city, state / province and country names * Notify Apple Photos, iPhoto or Aperture when places information has been updated * Create Google Earth KML and KMZ files. View photos pinned along the path travelled * Publish photos and KML files to Dropbox. Share images on a map * Upload geotagged photos to Flickr |
