Organizing mine photos

[Joanne]

Hi all,

I never head out into the desert without a camera or two. If I stop at more than one mine site it becomes a challenge trying to remember which pictures I took at which mine. I've came up with a trick that has solved the problem. When I get to a mine site I write the GPS coordinates in my notepad then take a photo of that page. When I look through the photos and come across a picture of my notebook I know all of the following pictures are of the same location. I also have the Lat/Lon so I can find the name in the mine database.



Silly little technique but it really works.

That is a great technique. It is actually similar to some of the techniques geologists use when in the field taking pictures.

i use a 8.5 x 11 whiteboard with Lat Lon info and photograph it when visiting mines...the whiteboard allows for misc notes and provides some scale to the picture as well...

For those Android smartphone users out there, here's a nifty app to capture GPS and photo data in order to recreate then versus now photo shots:
