I’ve written from time to time about GPS devices and ways of geocoding photos. Now I’m going to talk about a software tool to help in managing the GPS data files (usually recorded as GPX files). Adze Adze is software for the Mac, available in Lite (free) and paid versions. …
I’ve written before about some of the advantages (and pitfalls) of using GPS units to set accurate time in cameras. Having accurate time enables geocoding of photos, and makes it a lot easier to manage images from multiple cameras. One of the issues with setting the time via GPS is that …

I usually have all my photos GPS-encoded (“geocoded”) where possible. All my images end up in Lightroom, and when exporting images from there I can control which get the GPS data stripped (e.g. Lightroom has “zones” you can mark as private). By having the location data in the Lightroom catalog, …

In part 1 I discussed why we set our cameras to match the local time, reminded you to actually set the time, and talked about ways of keeping multiple devices in sync. In part 2 I’m going to talk more about selecting timezones.
In this post I’m going to talk again about managing the time in your cameras. It sounds really boring, but there are some gotchas that photographers should be aware of. It’s something many photographers don’t give any thought, even if they actually change the camera’s time twice a year because of Daylight …
