Geotagging the object or the camera

Wednesday September 19, 2007 at 09:12PM

Usually the place where I am with my camera and the object are near, so there is no need to distinguish between both ponts for geotagging.

But lets say I'm on a hill at take a photo of a building. Should I tag my position or the one of the building?

And how should geotags be set for panorama shots?

What's your opinion?

Hätte ich auch gesagt. Ist manchmal nur komisch, vor allem bei sehr bekannten Motiven

I tend to say: "it depends" (good answer, isn't it? ;)

If the main topic is a well known place I would geotag the place no matter where I stood. For a 360° panorama I would choose the centre almost always, else the same as before...

Naja, ich würde den Ort nehmen, wo das Photo gemacht wurde. Letztenendes will man doch zeigen, was an dem speziellen Ort zu sehen ist und nicht, wo die Motive auf dem Photo stehen. ;)

Is geotagging precise enough to really make a difference? On a global map the two location will appear to be the same, correct?

I set the geotag to my position too. But before my trip to the dolomites I had a look at the area with google earth. And in the maps there were pictures of places e.g. mountains. And to find a picture of a mountain I would rather search where the mountain is and not for a place where a photographer could be to take a picture of that mountain.
But here at ipernity we're geotagging for photographers and not for sightseers :-)
