Temperature-wise summer finally arrived this week! But the trees didn’t notice – the leaves are turning and falling just the same. But what glorious scenery!
My parents were visiting from BC this week and I was their official "driver." Becasuse of highway construction we had to travel through some very dodgy backroads to get to all the places they wanted to visit, but I stumbled across a gorgeous old abandoned farmhouse, not too far from where I live. A great surprise! A quick snapshot with my iPhone locked the lat and long so I could find the place again easily when I have time to spend a few hours exploring. Geocoding photos is such a great tool – I am anxiously waiting for Nikon to embedd GPS units in its DSLRs. If Apple and other camera makers can do it Nikon can too!
For us outdoor photographers can you imagine being able to automatically geotag your images so you can easily find that rare plant, the old building again, or whatever! No more having to carry your Garmin or other gizmo to attach to your camera – it will be completely self-contained and effortless.
Sigh…the dreams of a techno-geek!!!!
