Geotagging

[stormdog]

Does it mean I'm a little too obsessive if it's driving me nuts that I can't accurately location-tag all my photos?

I took this one in lower Manhattan. It's in the Chinatown area, north of Foley Square near City Hall and the New York Supreme Court building. I know exactly what area it was taken in. But I don't know exactly, so I can't location-tag it. Because you can't just mark it lower Manhattan. You have to click and drag it onto the spot you shot it. And I just don't know. Argh.

Sometimes, I actually think the camera add-on you can get that will automatically put GPS information into your photos geo-tags as you shoot would be awesome. It's expensive, sticks out from the camera body, and using it means you have this antenna reaching up from your gear as you shoot, so I'd probably never use it anyway. But sometimes I really wish I had one!

Of course it wouldn't have worked for any of the subway pictures I took anyway. Meh.
