Having visited Plymouth Rock as a child, I was curious about visiting the town of Plymouth where the pilgrims departed from. Overall, it was less of a tourist trap than its American counterpart. One of the more charming parts of town was an Elizabethan Garden that was tucked off the main drag. This first shot shows the stone detail work:

of this doorway:
ISO 25 4.15mm 1/50 f/2.2
This is one of those times when I was glad to have two cameras at my disposal. The top photo was taken with my Canon 50D. I shot it as a bracketed image and then created the HDR version you see above. The second photo is shown as shot with my iPhone. Having the two cameras allowed me to document the scene in two different ways. In this case, the iPhone gets the opportunity to show the “big picture”. When I take photos like this I am also asking the iPhone to perform another duty, that of keeping track of the location of the photo. I find the GPS feature on the phone helpful later if I have a question about exactly where the photo was taken. I use this most often when a photo has been taken while on holiday.
How do you keep track of the location of all the photos you shoot? Your thoughts on the topic are welcome below. Do you like this stone doorway? the gardens themselves were formal and I felt the stone was a good choice. Feel free to comment below.
Cheers!

It was beautiful, and very well complimented by all the greens in the garden.

I file my digital photos the “old fashioned way”. I create folders and sub-folders on my computer in which many of the pictures are organized by location.

Just curious, do you file or label by date as well?

I haven’t given any thought to tracking my photos. Your post has given me something to think about. I can see how this could come in handy.

Most recently, this has been useful for photos from Rome. I mean, wow, that’s a lot of interior church shots I have in my files now. They do sort of run together in my mind, the GPS feature is really helpful for that.

Stone walls and archways are a perfect match for gardens. Lovely shots 🙂

Hi Norm, So it took me forever to approve this comment because it was sitting in my spam bin. I apologize and thank you for both commenting and running the challenge.

As a sailor, your stone doorway gave me delight (and chills – so gorgeous)! Allegedly, I have geotagging in my camera but I have yet to figure out how to make it work. I process my photos shortly after I take them so at least I have a general idea of their place

Yes, that’s really the best way, to sort, tag, and process right away. Saves work in the long run really. Also, I wonder what your take on Plymouth would be. We went to the museum and saw the pier where the Mayflower may have been. Honestly though, it seemed like there was a lot of “lore” worked in, maybe that’s just how it is with sailors and the sea though?
