Here is an article with some useful tips: http://www.natureworldnews.com/articles/31662/20161111/shoot-the-supermoon-like-pros-professionals-and-nasa-photographer-shares-useful-tips.htm

Any opinion? My first thought was, "How silly. Another something taking up valuable desktop real estate." However, after watching the video, I am much more interested.

For a list of everything pertaining to Photoshop (including what didn't update) go to Help>System Info. You can copy and paste this into your document program but it is quite long -- my created a 13-page MS Word document.

I have used a Microtek i900 for about ten years now with VueScan software. Although it doesn't get as much use lately scanning film (maybe a couple times a year) it still does a great job. You could look into the current line of Microtek scanners. (Or better yet, a used i900... I notice ebay has a $75 price on one.)

As I was backing up the image files after my GPS experiment, I discovered what may or may not be important. When you use Lightroom (or any other program, I suspect) to write the metadata, the GPS data is written to a Sidecar File (XMP) because, of course, one cannot write to a RAW file. If the GPS Receiver is part of the camera equipment (internally or externally), the GPS Coordinates are embedded in the RAW file. I haven't checked to see if derivative Jpeg files would contain the data but suspect so. Anyway, if you don't save the XMP files, this solution may not be practical.

Okay, I have a Garmin NuviCAM that creates a GPX file every time it opens. It took about a half hour, in Lightroom, to GEO Tag 4,756 images (from a Canon 7D). It would have taken only a matter of minutes if I hadn't had to Import each of 15 GPX files separately.

I simply follow the instructions given in the above tutorial that I posted -- 1. Highlight target images, 2. "Load Tracklog" and then 3. "Autotag Photos." What could be simpler than that?

I have the same experience with the 7DMk2... it does delete the battery but not greatly.

I am just starting to research this issue (as a result of this thread) and right off the bat I stumble upon this tutorial on how to use Lightroom and any GPS App to put that data into the metadata:

I haven't done anything beyond watching the video. I also am disappointed in the date/time change with GPS4CAM.

Thank you.

I, too, have a 7D MkII. And the v1 of this lens. I am, also, interested in what you find with the 7D MkII.
