Toad’s Bowl: This is an HDR taken using my 70-300. Light was bad, I thought this would help me get both the red on top of the mushroom as well as the delicate gills underneath. It worked ok. Several of the other attempts I made failed because I didn’t tighten my tripod enough to fight long-lens creep. :( This is geotagged using my android phone. There is a free app on the android market called google tracks. It’s basically a glorified geo logger. It will display the map on the phone of course, and give pertinent data like distance traveled etc., but the main feature I used is the email the .gpx file to friend. After the hike, (which was arduous and is detailed in the previous photo!) I emailed the .gpx file generated by Google Tracks to myself. I then loaded it into my geotagging program (in this case, Maperture Pro for Aperture 2. I had previously synced the clocks on my phone and my camera, so they lined up perfectly, and tagged easily. Some things to note: Doing this geotagging will drain your battery. After two hours of tagging, my battery was half gone. It’s really only suitable for an afternoon outing or such, not a trek into the wilderness. You could improve battery life by decreasing the number of GPS updates, but still… you should keep your phone for emergencies.View On Black
