I was curious to know the exact location of Graeme's recent photos but as
yet most cameras dont log this information. Most cameras now log time,
date, Camera make and a whole load of other data but not lat and long (or
altitude lol - am I asking too much? )
With retirement imminent we are looking to get much more flying in this next
year.
I told the Mrs (Dot) that she needs to get to grips with my new Canon SLR so
that we can keep a pictorial record of our flying adventures (to come ).
She pointed out that one aerial pic looks much the same as another and it
would be a good idea to identify where a picture was taken - shame she
didnt mention it before we purchased the camera. The fact is that few
cameras (with the exception of mobile phones) have a Geo-tagging facility.
Canon offer a solution but at 250 for that accessory was looking a bit
steep.
Enter Eye-Fi http://www.eye.fi/ its a SD memory card with a built in
Wi-Fi transmitter
Although not real time Geo Tagging (and we know the Europa is a speedy bird)
this wirelessly transmits images directly from the camera to a memory card
on your mobile phone. This can be done automatically as soon as the picture
is taken. Once the phone logs the image it can Geo-tag it automatically
using the phones GPS data.
For 30 this sounds like a fairly neat solution (Amazon) and should work
with any camera using a SD card which most cameras do.
I would be interested to know if any other Europhiles use Geo-Tagging to log
their airborne (or other) photos and if so what means used to log the data.
