Tips

Intro

I explain some tips I found useful for me with my equipment.

Geotagging

Record the GPS data with an application like Stag, it produces a GPX file. I do it on iPad.

Using gpscorrelate-gui, strip bad GPS data and then correlate the images.

jhead, exiftool may help to see and modify fields (i.e. time of shot).

A possible application to see the gpx file on the map:  http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/map

Flickr may be used to display photos on map.

Panoramas

Remember to overlap, manual focus, manual exposure, manual WB, better bracket -2/0/+2 (may be we will make HDR).

Hugin panorama creator is the application that I'm using to stitch the photos.

Eye-fi

I am Eye-fi Explore X2card owner.

To program direct mode to the iPad, follow this link http://support.eye.fi/mobile-applications/ios-eye-fi-app/

Seems to have to activate manually the iPad for the eye-fi network

HDR

I usually bracket -2/0/+2.

I have programmed the camera and saved the settings for that at "U1"

Photomatix has been the leader but qtpfsgui is an open solution with good results too.

iPad photo apps.

Avoid PhotoshopExpress, it says "This photo is too large to be opened".

Photogene OK

jpeg to PDF conversion

Use imagemagick package:

convert *.jpg out.pdf
