Derrick Story, Writer, Teacher, Photographer, and Host of The Digital Story Podcast joins Scott Sheppard for some insight, tips, and discussion about geotagging your photos. Derrick has done extensive testing on geo-tagging and shares ideas on how you can add this key metadata to your images even if your camera does not have this feature built-in.

Derrick explains how you can use an accessory such as JOBO photoGPS - if you don’t shoot Nikon - which mounts onto your camera’s hot-shoe and capture the geo-data of each picture by the click of your camera. Once you capture the data you can take advantage of location specific features built into applications such as iPhoto ‘09 or Ubermind’s Maperture plug-in for Aperture to map your photos by location.

Derrick also notes that many people do not realize that using their iPhone to take photos automatically includes geo-data, and recommends Mac users check out Houdah’s HoudahGeo utility to pin photos to locations.

For compact cameras you can use Eye-Fi’s Explore Wi-Fi enabled SD memory cards to record location information upon capture and easily share those photos online while you are on-the-go.

Sean Arbabi, Commercial Photographer joins host Scott Sheppard to share his background in commercial/editorial work and experiences in developing a successful stock photography business. He is also an author and instructor who hosts both online classes and workshops. Sean explains that although he specializes in adventure, lifestyle, nature, and travel photography his assignments have also expanded his portfolio to include over 350,000 stock images. Sean feels that although the stock industry has changed over the past few years but is still a viable outlet, albeit more diluted, to generate revenue. Sean reminds us that in the end it’s not always about being the best photographer but rather about being the smartest business person behind your work.

Sean recently completed his first book published by AmPhoto, "The BetterPhoto Guide to Exposure" which he wrote based on his popular courses available at http://www.betterphoto.com and helps you master the art of proper exposure. Sean is as passionate about teaching others as he is about being a successful photographer and shares some tips on metering light. In addition to being a great photographer and instructor, Sean’s passion for teaching has also led him to create a concept and pilot for an informative TV/Video series "The PhotoGuru with Sean Arbabi", which is also available on YouTube.
