Many times when I travel across time zones (a) I don’t have GPS time activated, and (b) I don’t remember to adjust the clock. So I wind up with a bunch of files which are offset -5 hours. And I have considered just leaving it that way. However I often search through my photos with a time in mind (e.g., looking for the shot of the inside of the restaurant where we had lunch) and I would just as soon let the camera tag the proper time on the files so I don’t have to remember that lunch happened at 1230 local which was 0730 on the camera’s clock. Or had we gone far enough west that local 1230 was now 0830? I just find it easier to track if the files, use local time. So when I do forget to have the camera do its time adjustment thing, I always do a batch correction later in Lightroom.
