China in a photo

Tuesday, July 4th, 2006

This is something I just saw in the street yesterday, that kind of puts everything what China is in one picture. I am not writing anything more, since this photos doesn’t need words.

Easy Geotagging

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

If you put your photos online with Flickr, you normally want the viewers to know where these photos were taken. You can do this the low-tech way by giving them a tag with the name of the City or the like. However there is also a better way to do this by assigning a georeference to the photo by latitude and longitute coordinates. This way the photos can be viewed on maps like Google Earth. To achieve this you got to "geotag" your images.

Geotagging your photos in Flickr has always been a hassle. You could manually add tags with logitude and latitude coordinates for each photo. With Google Earth and a nice little networklink from Flickrmap you can do this very easily now. Check their tutorial, how it works. Once your photos are geotagged they show up on Flickrmap and (with the right networklink) on Google Earth.
