213-365 year2 Walking As One Gets Past The Finishing Line

Image by johngarghan
Take a photo every day in 2010
I was eager to see the finished photograph up on the hoarding on the New Library of Birmingham Hoarding in Centenary Square, as I anticipated there was at least another walk through the line after I had to leave and make sure I didn’t get a parking fine.

My original plan was to photograph the live walk through in black and white and then match the people in those photographs with their colour photograph on the finished image. Of course I didn’t envisage the process would be black and white. Like myself others had to leave early and during the re runs some of the walkers got out of order.

Library Website

This is here as a sample of an image with embedded metadata added using the free GeoSetter program,

Location :The first thing I did was add the geocoding, which GeoSetter does using Google maps. Once I had the geocoding, GeoSetter gave me the option to pull in the longitude and latitude, altitude, country, state, city and sublocation from the web.

Categories/Keywords : GeoSetter automatically created keywords for the country, state, city, sublocation, and adds geotags for longitude and latitude. I added other tags like library and postcards

Source/Description: On this tab, I added my name in the Credit field, and my Flickr Profile address in the URL field. I also added the title in the Headline field, and the address and website link in the caption field.

I saved the file, and also saved the information as a template in GeoSetter so I can easily add the same information to more postcards and photographs of this library. I can use the template to add the default information, and then edit the information for individual images as needed.

I uploaded the image to Flickr, which use the geocoding to put the image on the map, and added the title, description and tags that I entered in GeoSetter.

The embedded metadata stays in the ORIGINAL image on Flickr. If you download that image, the information will be embedded in your copy of the file. You can see and use the data in another program. For example, if you open the image in Picasa, the caption will appear, the tags will be there as keywords, and you can use the option under Tools to open the image in Google Earth.

I use Jeffrey's EXIF Viewer as a handy tool to check for the presence of embedded metadata in images on my PC and on the web.
