As a popular hobby, digital photography has new technology constantly improving the field. Advances usually involve the camera’s imaging system or processing the resulting photos. Two such advances are capturing more image data for greater editing freedom (with the RAW format) and gathering a wider range of brightness to make a photo look more realistic or surreal (with high dynamic range-HDR.)
The January meeting will showcase another advance, but the camera’s imaging system is not involved: the combining of photos with coordinates from the Global Positioning System (GPS) for what is called "geotagging." This makes viewing photos interesting, informative, and lets you plan for taking better pictures.
PMUG’s Michael Blank will show what geotagging is all about, the hardware and software needed, how to geotag photos with any digital camera, and how geotagged images from the online community can help you take better pictures.
