Geotagging your images in iPhoto

When writing about geocaching I mentioned that I'd heard of geotagging—but I hadn't made use of it. I've also posted about various ways to keep track of places you've been, including utilising Google Maps. I like to catalogue my travel pictures in iPhoto, but know of no way to integrate iPhoto and Google Maps. But you can use Google Earth to display geotagged photos in your iPhoto Library—even if you don't have a GPS device to record coordinates.

In the shadow of Mt. Doom

We end this month in New Zealand with a sense of achievement: we walked the Tongariro Crossing without significant pain nor injury. We had good weather and got some great photos of the beautiful volcanic landscape. Our 18.6 km walk began early morning in the shadow of Mt. Doom, as Ngauruhoe is now popularly known following its role in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings. In the bright sunlight at altitude, capturing well-exposed images of the dark landscape required extra care to avoid blown highlights.

Moving from .Mac to Google

MacDevCenter have published a great article entitled Making a Smooth Move from .Mac to Google. Intend to ditch .Mac? The article covers forwarding to Gmail, importing your Address Book (not an issue if using Gmail via POP), iCal to Google Calendar (synch is sadly one way), Google Notifier, using gDisk for online file storage, .Mac Groups to Google Groups, iWeb to Blogger, iPhoto to Picasa, and Google Browser Sync for synchronizing Firefox bookmarks, etc.

How to merge iPhoto libraries for free

While traveling in China with my wife's MacBook I attempted to keep on top of my photo editing. This involved naming and commenting close to 300 photos in Apple's iPhoto. But when I dragged these into the iPhoto library on my own computer, such data were lost. Searching Google suggested the only easy way to avoid this was to purchase the $US20 shareware program iPhoto Library Manager. Other more messy library merger procedures involved the use of the command line and disk images. But this is functionality that really should be included with iPhoto, especially given the progressive increases in "allowed" library size with each release. Can you say "Hello" in French?

iPhoto to web gallery bypassing .Mac

Apple's .Mac HomePage was a simple way to build a web gallery using versions of iLife prior to 06. With iLife/iPhoto 06, you're forced to use iWeb instead if you want integration. But it's not the changes that have caused me to shy away from .Mac—it's the lack of them. All those regular member benefits dried up like a Namibian river bed. When I migrated to WordPress the only substantial part of my online presence that remained dependent on .Mac was my photography. That is the case no more.
