Digital photography

Oh most places have wifi, so if you've got a ipad or small laptop you're taking just upload your photos to the cloud when you're there to save space on your camera (and to backup).

Bjorn, those a proper good. Great location scouting!

While a mobile phone isn't the best of camera, I thought the iPhone panoramic setting was rather decent.

I'm using my mobile more and more now as my primary camera.

It's always with me for a start.

same here, and I can't complain

My only nag about mobile is the white-out like on the sun in apollo's photo.

How would I batch convert something in lightroom? I've only ever done it in Photoshop using actions

Batch convert for export form the file->export menu option with a group selected. Or for settings changes, create the settings in one photo, make a user setting template and apply to group of selected photos.

Maybe you are trying to do something more complicated though.

Or if it's a one off edit, edit one photo, then hit the Sync button button bottom left. You can choose what settings you want, and it'll apply to the other selected photos immediately.

I saw some real landscapes for pretty much the first time on Friday and now my interest in landscape photography has gone up quite a lot (from bascially zero), I'd really like to go back with a camera with a bigger sensor and a tripod. I took the first one out of a moving car.

Also I've never tried this before and I guess it worked out OK? I lay the camera on its back on a rock, picked an appropriate sounding exposure time (120 sec), and used the self timer to release the shutter.

Also I've never tried this before and I guess it worked out OK?

I really like it.

Nice, if you want to get into that sort if thing, read Mike Deeres guide

^^thanks and ^thanks for the link.

Kinda wish we could've sat around longer to get long trails or I had a camera sensitive enough to do a shorter exposure but it was just really lucky to have a clear sky with no moon in sight the first time I ever get somewhere free from light pollution.

Does anyone use GPS to tag photo locations? I assume you can just make a gpx track and then, if the time on your camera is correct, somehow sync the photos to the track location.

Does it embed in the metadata (Nikon .NEF files)?
Cheers

What's the advantage of tagging photos via GPS?

It's for you everybody knowing where you took the damn picture.

Ah like Strada for photographer then.

I could see it being handy if you're into landscape stuff and want to remember where a shot was, either for labelling/tagging or in case you want to go back to the same spot to shoot again.

Also maybe for Flickr etc. to get your pictures found by people doing geographical searching?

Think lightroom has a map function as well, so you can browse images by locations. Quite nifty, but too much data for me personally

Also, photojournalists usually have to provide GPS data...

I use Lightroom so maybe I'll have a look at some of the settings there then.

I travel a fair bit and by the time I get home and sort out my pictures and so on it can be a struggle to remember where I shot them, syncing with GPS seems an easy solution so long as it's not much hassle.

I guess one issue is whether you need to change the camera time to local time, I assume you would.

If it knows where it is, it should do it itself

The GPS isn't connected to the camera so I guess I'd have to update the camera time from UK time manually.

Went to Sweden last weekend, didn't take nearly as many photos as I'd anticipated.

You took some good ones though

Cheers - it's a strange combination of picturesque and bleak. Wanted more pictures of the buildings but didn't have time to go exploring at the ideal times.
If any of you ever go, make sure to try kebab pizza. amazing.
