My latest flickr adiction is
Geotagging.

Today I started taking my photos with the locations that they were taken at and I've no idea why other than the vain hope that people will look at them... that and I saw it in a wired article that said people were doing it.

Actually its kind of cool seeing all the other photographers near you and how they see that enviroment.

I saw this and don't know what it is. I haven't tried it out. Do you put the GPS coordinates or something on a picture so people can see where it was taken? That could be interesting.

Well not exactly, what I did was upload my photos to the flickr website, I went in the organise feature then I added them to a map. So my photos arent very precise with their locations. Their just the city not where they were taken (though you could if you wanted to).



But if you have an iphone or an sd card/camera that uses GPS to get the location data when you upload it to flickr it automatically geo tags them.



from what I've heard to really get the full benifit of geotagging you need a phone that uses GPS, when you go into a new area you'll be able to see all the photos from where you are and i've also heard of strangers meeting up because they saw each others work thought it was cool and were in the same area (they were probably using other tools like twitter).
