 That sounds sounds interesting but a bit cludgy for anything like an
 ordered work-flow. I use very basic logging applications like
 GPSLogger on my Android which I then import into GeoSetter to embed
 GPS info in the desired set of images.

I take a gps logged picture with my android, then upload my geotagged shots 
onto flickr, at which point I just drag any photos I want to geotag onto the 
shots in the map.

I bet that if I were clever, I could do something like that in lightroom, and 
take advantage of the timestamps in the photos for putting them together.

i agree it seems kludgy -- and i think i would prefer something that could 
export or email me a GPX; there are quite a few apps which can do that (as can 
the app Darren recommends, with an extra $1 in-app purchase)


but looking at the product site i noticed one advantage of the 
photograph-a-qr-code approach -- it seems the QR code embeds the phone's 
(correct) time-stamp, and so the process not only geotags, but compares and 
corrects the camera's timestamps as well (which can be crucial to good 
geotagging, especially if you've crossed a time zone or two since you last 
checked your camera)

You certain can.  Google Jeff Friedl's GPS plugin for LR.

If you know where you were when you took the photo, you can always call 
it up in Google maps  right click on the spot where you were standing. 
What's Here? will give you Longitude  Latitude (or vice versa) you 
can add that to your metadata keywords.

GPS Geotag your photos (any camera) with iPhone app

2011-07-04 Thread Darren Addy
(If anyone knows of a similar app for Android, let me know.)
This is an insanely clever little iPhone/iPad app that will give ANY
camera the ability to GPS geotag your photos from a day's photo
session. My son-in-law have used this while gallivanting around the
countryside chasing storms. At the end of your session, you use the
iPhone/iPad app to generate a series of QR code images on the iPhone
screen. Anybody that was with the person with the iPhone then takes a
photo of that series of QR code images on their camera.

Then you download the images you took that day (including the series
of QR code images) to a folder and process that folder through the
gps4cam desktop app (which is available for Mac or WINdoze):
http://gps4cam.com/

The app basically makes a time adjustment from what your camera says
and what the iPhone actually knew the time to be. The iPhone (having
GPS built-in) also knows where it was at that particular time because
the app has been keeping a map of all points in time. So, knowing
those two things it can geotag any photo of anyone that was with the
iPhone that generated the QR code and it modifies the EXIF data with
that information.

While it doesn't allow you to do astrophotography, like the new Pentax
hotshoe accessory, if GPS is all you were looking for, and you have an
iPhone this could be your ticket.
