I used the opportunity whilst visiting my new granddaughter to pop into the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust Site at Martin Mere just outside Southport in Lancashire.
It was bright but the light was soft and it was calm. Great day for catching reflections in the water.

The tide was coming in. The sailing boats were being gently lifted [...]

Discovering the Joys of Geotagging
Posted on 13/08/2008 by martinrstone
On a recent holiday I decided to sort out geotagging on my mobile. I have a Vodafone v1615 which is a rebadged HTC TYTN II aka Kaiser. It has a 3 megapixel camera which can, with its embedded GPS, add your location to your photos. To do this I needed to tweak a registry setting. [...]
