Copying geo data from one image to another.

In my last post I created a panorama by stitching a number of photographs together with DoubleTake. One problem with creating synthetic images is they lack the geo data I embed in the rest of the photographs from my GPS’ track log. I figured the always excellent exiftool could accomplish copying the data so it would be visible in Lightroom but I wasn’t entirely sure how. After some trial-and-error this worked:

$ exiftool -tagsfromfile Z09023676.dng -@ geotags.txt marmotpass.tiff

where geotags.txt is a list of all the tags to copy from the source image Z09023676.dng to the destination image marmotpass.tiff:

Maps, geo, mashup.

I haven’t been drooling over maps as long as others I know, but I do enjoy them. Since a picture is worth a thousand words I wanted a way to put our travels on the map. I think geo-mashup is just the solution.

So from now on I’ll be geocoding our travels (and back-coding those already posted). To view a post with a map entry, follow the link to the right of the date in the post header (this post is geocoded) and/or go to the new Wandering page to see those posts already geocoded and on the map.
