Thinking of Not Thinking

Photo Tracker is a simple application that enables photographer Geotagging photos by writing GPS data from GPS log file (in NMEA format or GPX files, such as SONY GPS-CS1 recording log, Garmin GPX) into photograph files in some formats (i.e. Nikon Raw, Canon RAW of coz JPEG). The app is completely programmed in Microsoft c# language, reading EXIF and writing GPS data functions are implemented based on wonderful Exiftool(by Phil Harvey). I didn’t do much testing on Canon RAW file like CR2, but I think it is ok because it is oringinally supported by Exiftool.

I have another hardware DIY solution for add GPS feature for Nikon DSLR with 10 pin connector.

On May 1 - the international labor day, when I was walking across Xizang road near people square, the cleaner was sweeping the road in crowded stream of people.

Actually I have worked for 2 days at home on a little application for combining GPS data into Nikon NEF files because I got myself a gift - SONY GPS-CS1. Since the SONY accessory applications can only work with JPEG or SONY RAW files, so have to DIY. With current progress, it will be revealed tomorrow.
