Is that "Big Nose Kate"?
Interesting, I don't know but we were in a saloon museum at the time.

What was your exposure metering set at? Evaluative? maybe if you used spot metering and spotted on the herd which would have ignored most of the moon exposure and allowed you to increase your iso and maybe stopped down another stop or two to get a deeper dof. 1/600 should have captured the moving herd in good focus for low light situation. It is one of those situations where full manual mode would apply and try several combinations.

Not sure about putting your watermark on someone else's painting.
Damned Lightroom anyway. Technically I did not put it on the painting, its on my photo, but to please everyone I'll change it
Assuming you mean watermarking

Snapped this in "old town" Tombstone AZ of all places
I like efficient over lazy and frugal over cheap
Geosetter software looks real good, unfortunately there is no mac version.
I got my Canon gps for a shade over 200.00 not a lot more than a hand held would cost and no work or fuss at all (I'm lazy) and less chance for error. Nikon has one for their cameras also
The only thing is when gps is on hotshot you cannot use flash but it also attaches to camera via a cable if you happen to be using flash

When I am taking pictures I use a handheld Garmin eTrex gps which fits in my pocket. This creates a file called a track which give you a gps location and timestamp. I think the GPS cost 90 a couple of years ago. I also own multiple Car/Motorcycle GPS's and now am thinking of acquiring one that I can wear on my wrist.
I also retrieved some software called GeoSetter (free) that can take the download track information from the GPS and sync it up with the timestamp on the photos. This GPS coordinates are update to EXIF information which has a place for GPS info. The update is amazingly accurate and fast. Once you have the initial marks you can move the flags if it is not precise enough for you.
Geosetter software can be found at

I mark/update all of my photos using Geosetter. I make sure the camera time is synced with the GPS every now and then.

I read all kinds of replies regarding hand helds, smartphones e.g. but most all of them have some serious drawbacks.
Take a smartphone and sync with other pics - maybe everyone does not have these items and then all images will be shown taken at same spot which maybe they were not.
Do you want to carry a notepad and mark down your location for each image image then manually transfer to metadata. I don't.
Yes many of them you can download the track and sync them later on your computer, better have the time on both camera and gps the same when taking the image or no sync and is a pain anyway.
Do you shoot raw - then read info about gps carefully they may not write to raw files.
Mac users beware - many do not have software for macs
My canon gps sits on the hotshot sync the camera to the gps time stamps both jpegs and cry (raw) files , puts into the metadata the direction you were facing at time of shot just that simple

Just realized where you were when the image was taken, if in Galveston...The Rainforest Cafe...not Moody Gardens as i posted earlier...
I don't think it was Rain Forest Cafe, I don't think we were there. We did spend a day at the Moody garden's and aquarium.
I have a new Canon gps attachment coming for my camera so I will never (hopefully) forget where I took a picture.
I think it is great and nothing that a little post processing in Lightroom cannot rectify

Nice and sharp picture of a 'headless' flamingo. The coloring is very pretty.
Apparently flamingos stand on one leg and bury their head when they are sleeping
Not entirely sure where I took this one but it was in my Galveston folder
