John, in Lightroom Classic, select, e.g., all your Iraq time zoned images. 
Under Metadata menu, choose Edit Capture Time. The sub menu offers the option 
to do a time zone adjustment. There is a warning that you cannot UnDo any 
change. That is only somewhat true. You won’t have an UnDo option per se, but 
you can always repeat the action as many times as needed to get it right. And 
there is an option to reset to original capture time if you need to back off 
and start over.

I don’t know what date/time format standard the metadata is supposed to use, 
but it really ought* to be in ISO format, which (optionally) includes the 
offset from UTC. This would make your task quite straightforward using the 
method Mark suggested. The thing to be careful about, if you were writing some 
sort of macro to make the change rather than relying on a trusted routine from 
elsewhere, is when the offset takes you forward or back to a different date. 
For example, time showing as 11am on 1 March, subtract 12 hours - was it a leap 
year? Make sure you have a backup!

*a well-designed system would distinguish between the format of the stored date 
time (I would usually use ISO), and the format of the displayed date time, so 
years later when looking at your photos in the comfort of Badiddlyboing, 
Odawidaho you ask yourself, what the hell time was it in Ulan Bator when I made 
this masterpiece? It can tell you without having to change any of your data.

Whenever I travel I start out in my new time zone by taking a
photograph of a clock showing local time. Then when I get home I use
Lightroom to batch change all the photos by adjusting the "Capture
Time" by the number of hours necessary to get the correct time. Takes
just a few seconds.

There’s a lot to be said for that!

I’ve just discovered that the Visoflex 020 has a GPS. So attached to my M10M, 
and after changing a couple of settings in the menu, it can pluck the date and 
time from out of the sky!

As far as I can tell it uses local time, but as I’m in the UTC time zone it’s 
difficult to be sure.

Hmm. I like to keep the camera's date setting current, but rarely ever look at 
the time my cameras are set to. 
I order things in LR by frame number, not by time, and only very very 
occasionally use more than one camera at a time, so it's rarely an issue. 

If I do have two cameras output (iphone and m10m, or m10m and m10r), since I 
don't shoot all that many frames in a session on average, I can usually 
integrate all the photos together in the right sequence and then rename them 
into an ordinal sequence, if that seems important. I can also set the capture 
times into an ordinal range that way. 

Most of the time, I don't worry about time and date very much. Once I've 
rendered my photos and put together a set to display, whatever order they are 
in is what I choose, not what the frame numbering or the time/date sequence 
are. 

Life is sure simpler in the Polaroid instant film world where a pack of film 
has only eight exposures and I can remember exactly what sequence I shot them 
in… :D

I have actually been seriously considering changing my cameras to GMT or UTC, 
and not have to worry about DST, time zones or anything like that.  

I've also taken photos of the time on my phone with the K-3iii or the Lumix to 
help sync the times in lightroom.

This is roughly my situation. Lisa and I are doing a lot more travel
these days and I find it very helpful to have GPS tagging on my photos
to tell where each was taken (there were places in the Czech Republic
that I didn't even know the name of until after the trip when I looked
at the GPS coordinates). I'm not interested in adding to either my
shooting workflow (taking notes and getting left behind by the rest of
the group) or my post-processing workflow (synching up with a separate
file of GPS data). And I certainly don't want any extra dongles or
anything to carry with me. A GPS-enabled camera is the simplest
solution. I'll be getting a K-3ii.

BTW: I just noticed that the K-3ii has dual SD card slots! Bravo!
Another feature made to order for me. With the K-1 I always shoot to
both SD cards at once, just in case of memory card failure or one-off
file corruption, the latter of which has happened to me a few times.

John, I don’t trust the time setting 100%. However, the best hack I have found 
is to take a picture of my watch or nearby clock every morning, with whatever 
cameras I have with me, GPS or not. It is easy to re-set the time in metadata 
in LR Classic later, and so I can correct any wrong time zones by camera for 
all shots in the day, and at the same time it synchs all cameras (eg, mine and 
whatever Meg is using) so that a sort by time-shot puts images into proper 
order. Which greatly facilitates selecting multiple images for keyboarding, etc.

re: the GPS question (was: Re: Pentax APS-C cameras)

2024-01-22 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi
A number of interesting answers to the "why GPS" question, thank you. 

From the answers, I think my long-held workflow practices from non-GPS equipped 
cameras manage to do the same job … when traveling, I keep a journal and update 
it daily with the names and places of everywhere I've visited, any interesting 
sights, any specific photo ops I've made. Since LR came available in 2006, I've 
input a digest of this information with every import operation as IPTC 
information … locations, subjects and notion in keywords, etc. So it's 
typically a lot faster for me to say, "Hmm, where was this photo made and what 
other photos were made around there?" and find the answers by searching IPTC 
metadata rather than depending upon GPS information. GPS information adds to 
that IPTC metadata, but since only one or two of my cameras (and the 
smartphones) have ever had GPS tagging in them, way more of my needs in this 
domain come from the metadata tagging that has been part of my photography 
forever. 

(Older photography from the film era … well, I did the same annotation of the 
negatives with keywords, location, etc on the negative sleeves…)

Since the focus of my photographic efforts is only casually documentarian in 
nature for the most part, the notion of "needing" automated location/time-date 
stamping as part of my photographic efforts has simply never been part of my 
personal work by much. It is something of a curiosity when I go out with only 
the iPhone or the Light L16 cameras and later review the original photos I 
import in the Maps module of LR Classic. 

And of course, I normally strip all metadata in the photos I post to my flickr 
site. To me, the reason for posting photos has little to do, most of the time, 
with where, when, and what equipment was used in the making of the photos. I'm 
interested in the emotional content and expression of photographs, not in the 
literal description of what is imaged… 

Curious stuff to think about. Thank you again.

Long ago and far away (specifically, Northern Italy, 2007) I took a drive from 
our B&B lodging around Lago Garda, a beautiful region favored as a vacation 
spot since the Middle Ages if not earlier. Several small fishing villages 
around the lake. I of course stopped at every village and took shots of the 
fishing boats and other boats in the marinas & dock areas.

Two weeks later, back home, scrolling through the images on my computer, I kept 
thinking to myself: “Self, where were you when you took that photo? Which 
village was it? How can I properly caption the image if I don’t know the name 
of the village!”

That’s why I bought a Garmin and used that to track my location until cameras 
started to provide GPS tracking directly or via the O-1. 
Most recently, yesterday I was working on a re-cap of our trip to the Norwegian 
coast last March. Our published itinerary often did not agree with what/where 
actually happened. Weather, ship propulsion issues, etc. The embedded GPS in

I keep the GPS of my K-1 always on so I don't forget to switch it on.
How much faster this drains my battery, I have no idea.
After a day trip I take the SD card out and also recharge the battery.
Almost never need a spare battery.

To me it would be quite useful sometimes for a camera to connect automatically

or Ant+ or something similar to external devices which have GPS, such as a 
phone, smartwatch or Garmin bike device. So when you press the shutter it can 
just write the current position and time into the image file. I imagine that 
would be less of a drain on the battery than keeping a built-in GPS active.

Now, that's an easy one...

Whenever I'm looking for a photo of a particular place or subject to 
accompany one of my blog posts, I can do so using the GPS data. Michael 
has written me a clever little utility that will display a map where I 
can zoom into the wanted area and it will show me the thumbnails of all 
photos taken there. Makes my life a whole lot easier.

Well, it is like many other features of a good versatile camera  as weather

Another side benefit of it, is that it can set the camera's clock to within a 
few nanoseconds, and it makes it easier to keep different camera's clocks 
synchronized.

Yeah, and sometimes I don't realize that I want to remember where a photo was 
taken until some time later.  Or, I'll just simply forget to use the phone to 
geotag.

It can also be handy to use when looking for a particular photo.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think any of 
the APS-C cameras have built in GPS.


According to Ricoh, the K-3/K-3 Mark III, K-5/K-5II/K-5IIs can take the 
O-GPS1 module - discontinued according to Ricoh, but if you don't 
already have it you can probably find one NOS or used at KEH ...

Henk: smartphones are centered on communications technology, where cameras 
generally are not. Thus the difference … a difference in engineering/design 
focus. 

I tend to agree with Paul on this, however: My favorite cycling camera is my 
now-ancient Light L16. It's like carrying a large cell phone, outputs 50 Mpixel 
raw files, has a zoom range from 28 to 150 mm, and has a full Android OS under 
the covers so it knows all about GPS, WiFi networks, and wireless 
communications. It works well hand-held or on a tripod. A delightful camera … I 
hope the battery lasts a few more years as I'll be sad when it's no longer 
usable.

I've been using a portable Garmin device that I carry (or rather drive)

Back at home, photos and GPS data are combined in Houdah Geo. Has been 
working perfectly for many years and it can be used to tag my audio

Re: Pentax APS-C cameras

2024-01-20 Thread Henk Terhell
For me it is incomprehensible that all smartphones have GPS but most 
DSLRs and mirrorless not. For landscape and nature pictures it is so 
useful to have it on my K-1. If GPS seems to easily fit in a flat phone, 
why not in an APSC-C? For me this is another step forward to kill real 
cameras sales in favour of smartphones.
The use of apps or the clip-on GPS module are cumbersome in the field 
and are only stopgaps.


Even adventure cameras like the new Pentax WG-90 do not have GPS.
Exceptions are the Ricoh WG-6 (for as long as it is available) and the 
new OM TG-7, however their image quality may be on the level of a good 
phone.

There might be some mode where you can use the gps off the phone through the 
app on the K-3 III. Or that might be something that I saw my u4/3 can 
theoretically do.

What I have been doing on the K-3 III is just taking photos with phone, 
importing those into lightroom, so I can use those to look on the map to see 
where I took the photos.

Sorry, none of those - they all need the clip-on O-GPS1 as do the K3i & K3iii, K5 
series & a few others.

It seem only the K3ii has built in GPS like the K1.
