I would be so excited to get a geotagging unit for my camera. I’m studying photography and technology in college, and next semester I’m doing an independent project working on my colleges wiki and setting up a map of the campus that anyone can add information too and view. I’m looking at “egalitarian” mapping more in depth. It would be really awesome If I could combine that with my photography studies.

I also work with ecology teachers sometimes, and with a geotagging unit, it would be possible to photograph plant communities, and use the geodata to place it on a GIS map with bedrock, temperature, etc and look at the ecological effects much easier.

lastly, it would just be really cool to have geographic info when i’m travelling and taking pictures. So yes please sign me up for the sweepstakes

No question … I’m accumulating thousands of photos and would really like to remember where I have taken them all, especially to share the location with other photographers.

I like to geotag my photos. Presently, I use a GPS and enter waypoints at each photo location of interest. Then I use geosetter to transfer these waypoints to my raw images while still on the memory card. Next I load and convert my images to .dng files in LR. GeoSetter allows you to search for locations and add these locations to images, so you don’t even need a gps. Having the gps data gives another way to search and sort images.

I’ll tell you, I have the worst memory and this would help me remember exactly where I took my pictures rather than bugging my friends and family to help me.

Geotagging really just adds to the fun of photography. It gives me a wider range of possibilities of creativity when starting new photo projects and it allows me to tell a more detailed story with the pictures. It is a really nice addition to the world of photography.

For me, geotagging could greatly help scientists and other researchers collect data on the range of different animals as well as the general biodiversity within any given area. It would also be of great benefit to be able to identify where a shot was taken so that I could find the location again or for others to go and enjoy it for themselves.

For me, geotagging images and viewing the locations on a map really visualizes the parts of the country/world where you haven’t taken any photo’s. A great planning tool for the next photo trip. Don’t forget the Photofinder GPS!

As an aspiring landscape photographer, it’s quite necessary to travel a lot to get a large variety of images. So geotagging my images would help me immensely! I take so many pictures, that often I can’t remember where I took what. This would be the perfect addition to my gear. Thanks for the opportunity!!

Geotagging would help my photography immensely because I’m always wondering where I was when I made a shot and cannot for the life of me remember. I always want to go back and try something new or maybe let my friends and fellow photographers check it out and have a go at it. I am always travelling so I want to be able to visit a place I randomly stumbled upon again as well.

I take most of my pictures from aircraft and it is very difficult to know exactly where you are from the air
I would use the geotagger to show me where I was when I took the Photographs.

For someone who travels a lot on business, and who always brings his camera along (as a creative escape), geotagging offers a vital point of information: where did I take that shot?

Awesome show – you guys are getting better with every episode!

How would geotagging help my photography? I might actually remember WHERE I took my photographs at!! I have people ask me where some of my photographs are taken at (and since I have no sense of Route Direction – I’m very visiually oriented!) I can’t explain WHERE I actually was (if I can remember what city is was in in the first place!!
