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.

The McNamara Report on Inside Digital Photo with Michael J. McNamara
This week’s topic: Editorial Photos - Fact? Fiction? or Fantasy?

Mike joins us in celebrating the 3 year anniversay of the "McNamara Report" Blog first on Popphoto.com and now available at: http://www.mcnamarareport.com. Mike and Scott discuss some key issues in editorial and journalistic photography today. Most photographers rely on the wonders of Photoshop to edit their images so they are aesthetically pleasing, but at what point does editing a photograph change the overall story or instance. If we accept that lines of reality or truth in imagery are crossed daily, how do we judge where that line is drawn. Mike explores examples in a range of photo genres.
