My new camera records the geo-location (latitude/longitude) of each photo I take and when I upload them to my pro account on Flickr, the location is retained.
Every photo within Flickr has a unique ID number which is used to track the photo down across their many servers scattered around the world. For example, the ID for the photo of my previous Canyon Stop post is “9526330600“. This indicates there are over nine billion photos on Flickr and climbing.
This number is really powerful in the hands of a coder who knows his way around Flickr’s API (Application Programming Interface). You can obtain a wealth of information about a photo based on it’s ID, including the location data.
I’ve added a new button attached to the lower right corner of each new main post photo which will launch a map of the place the photo was taken.
Scroll on down to the previous post Canyon Stop (or click here) and check it out!
Sounds like you have this stuff down pat. Hope it is all you want it to be.
Actually, it’s not for me, it’s for viewers that wonder exactly where the shot was taken. I already know :-)
