GeoTagging

GeoTagging

I haven't/don't use flickr that often. So this was obviously my first time using the geotagging feature. I think that the geotagging feature is really cool. It would be great if I have traveled in numerous places around the world, just to see where all I have been based on pictures. I am definitely planning to travel more often and it would be great to put picture up from everywhere. 

Here is a picture that I put up on Flickr. It was taken at Crowders Mountain.

Here is a link to my Flickr map

I was not sure what the EXIF data was, so I decided to look it up. It took me to a website called www.exifdata.com. This website allowed you to upload a picture or a url to a picture and it told you a lot of information about the picture. Below is a screen shot of the information for a picture I uploaded. From what I read, some images could have the GPS coordinates on there, but the ones that I looked at did not.

Next is a video about PhotoSynth. First off, I love TED Talks videos. I recently had my students do a project on a video. The video's on TED Talks are very informational. I found this video very interesting. I thought it was really cool that they can compile a lot of pictures from around the world into one picture. It takes your pictures being all over the web to a whole new level. I also found it really cool that it even showed from what angle the pictures were taken from. I am definitely going to look more into it.
