Geolocation – Flickr

Here is a quick tip if you like to geotag your photos. If you use Flickr and your tagging process puts the coordinates into the image Exif information there is a setting you have to change in your Flickr account. This will ensure your photos show on the map properly. Keep in mind any privacy concerns when supplying tagged photos. It may not matter when shooting public material. But you might not want to give away the location of your home.

Log into Flickr
Pull down the Menu next to “You”
Select “Your Account”
Click “Privacy and Permissions”
Scroll down to the defaults for new uploads section
Change the “Import EXIF location data” to Yes

The Typical Shutterbug Community and Podcast is coming

So, you probably know me as the host of the Typical Mac User Podcast. I’ve decided that I’m going to do a podcast based on the concept that- like many of you, I am a Typical Shutterbug. That is, I know a little about photography but want to learn a lot in 2009 and beyond. This won’t be a weekly show , it will be occasional. This way I can actually get time to do it without feeling the pressure of a weekly show. Sometimes it may be weekly other times not. (that’s my sanity check)

I’m starting the community by starting a Flickr group join in right now and start contributing, learning and sharing.

From there I’ll start the wheels in motion to prepare for the show to launch in mid-January (after Macwold). I have the url www.typicalshutterbug.com but with a new show comes lots of prep work. If you like photography or want to learn more. Join me as I take my trip in learning how to be a better shutterbug. Just like the Typical Mac User it will grow and flurish, but only with your help.
