3 December 2008 Dock photos and geoencoding
This past weekend we took a trip down to Osaka to go to the Kaiyukan, which is supposedly the biggest aquarium in the world. Or maybe it just has the biggest tank; sometimes these details can be hard to pin down (a tendency accounting for more than a few grey hairs on this translator’s head).
I’ll have more pictures from the aquarium later on (promises, promises…), but these are from the harbor that the ferry we took from the aquarium landed at. I like the menacing look of the anchor in the first one, and the color in the late afternoon sun of the big…thing…in the second.
These are also the first pictures here that are geoencoded. Using a one dollar application on my iPhone to record longitude and latitude information, and a plugin for Lightroom written by my friend Jeffrey, I can now geoencode all my photos. What this means in practice is that you can click a single button to see the location of each photo on a map.
