Balloon Glow

When I take photos, I almost always ‘geotag’ the photos. What does this mean? It means that with each photo, I store the latitude and longitude of the spot where I took the photo.

The way I do this is relatively simple, but I will leave the detailed description for another post in the future. The short explanation is that I use a GPS data logger to track my position and when I upload my photos to my computer, I use the GPS log to identify where each photo was taken.

I’m curious to find out if this information would be of interest to my readers. While I haven’t figured out the best way to show this information, for now I will be adding an icon to each of my posts that contain additional information on where the photos were taken.

When you see this icon – , click on it to see a map of where I was for this post. In this case, the map shows where the picture above was taken (more on the Wausau Balloon Rally in a future post).

I hope to figure out a way to show a map linked to each photo, rather than just one for the post – but I haven’t yet figured out the best way to do that.

Please comment and let me know what you think – is this extra information interesting or useful?
