====== Storing Photos after a Vacation ======
The problem: you return home from a vacation and took a lot of pictures. But not with a single camera. But you now want all images in one place, in chronological order. Here is what to do.
===== Download the images =====
- Get the images from the cameras using PTP or MassStorage copying. Store the photos into separate directories (''sony'' and ''canon'')
===== Merge Chronological =====
- photograph the clock of the more precise camera (Sony) with the other camera (Canon)
- Use exiftool to read the EXIF date of that picture and compare it with the photographed time
- Adjust the time of the photos (Canon) to match the clock of the more precise clock (Sony):
# substract 5 minutes and 2 seconds from all dates:
exiftool -AllDates-='0:0:0 0:05:02' -overwrite_original canon/*.JPG
- Move Canon Panorama Images to a sepearate dir
mkdir pano
mv canon/ST* pano/
- Create an output directory ''out''
- Rename all files to their creation date and move them to the out directory
exiftool '-FileName
===== GeoTag =====
- Get the Tracklog from the GPS's card and convert NMEA to GPX:
nmea2gpx.pl gpx/*.TXT
- Take a photo of the GPS clock with the default date camera (sony)
- Use exiftool to read the EXIF date of that picture and compare it with the photographed time
- Geotag the photos, optionally also set some clear text location tags:
# Camera is 2 hours and 2 seconds ahead of GPS's GMT
for GPX in gpx/*.gpx
do
gpsPhoto.pl --dir out --gpsfile $GPX --city 'Rome' --country 'Italy' --timeoffset 7202
done
