The immich service connection.with writeback is awesome!
My kids have some dinky little digital cameras with no GPS or WiFi or anything, just writes photos locally to microsd, so obviously no location data. I use my phone, sure, but when traveling I’ll use my DSLR that also has no GPS (OK it does have WiFi, but I don’t use it).
Which turns into me tagging every time we get back from somewhere.
Going to give that immich link a try!
I wonder if you could pair your phone with your DSLR so that you have access to GPS location tagging.
@irmadlad @curbstickle_lw some DSLRs actually had hardware modules for GPS, like the Nikon GP-1. I have one but haven't used it much (felt dangerous to have it stick out all the time) so can't say much about it.
Yeah, I’m familiar with the GPS modules. They just look a bit bulky. Of course, if you have your DSLR, a high performance telephoto lens, and other gadgetry attached, then what’s another gadget. LOL I know that some DSLR have wireless capabilities, and even if they don’t you can get a wireless SD card to interface with a wireless SSD pack. I have a friend who is a professional photographer who shoots all manner of photos for news stories, etc. He uses a bluetooth SSD setup, that is backed up to his official FTP site. He needs a backpack to haul all the stuff around tho, which might be cumbersome for casual photography.
It was just a fleeting thought to somehow combine existing hardware like the GPS capabilities of a mobile phone with a DSLR.
