Recording the position in a single shot is a fine backup, but pretty tedious if you have 50 - 100 photos to tag afterwards. That is useful - I've used exiftool before, but this is either new or I have not noticed this feature... Many years. What particular app do *you* use for recording travel geo points? I use either a dedicated GPS recorder (AMOD) or my iPhone or both. On the iPhone I can use several apps but have tended to use Trails - as I mentioned in my first reply to the OP. |

GPS elipsoid and the local geoid are not coincident all over. The difference can be quite large and correction models are not all that accurate. The barometer is not very useful to determine altitude above sea level unless set to a known reference point first. Otherwise it's pretty good for relative changes over a short period. Hmm, there's a thing Apple could do: have a function to ping Apple with the position of the phone and receive the nearest QNH (or a triangle of them to interpolate from). Then the baro altitude could be used to determine an accurate altitude above sea level. |

With an iPhone 6. Those things amaze me. They seem to do all sorts of auto-editing internally to produce an image with great clarity and great lighting. But the Exif data doesn't seem to mention anything about what filters are (or are not) applied. I would say that you got that image SOOC. The only filters applied should be those chosen by the photographer, otherwise, if unedited, you should get the iPhone photo as shot. There are many iOS and Android apps which such as Snapseed, VSCO, Filmborn, and others which provide all sorts of filters. On my last trip there, several years ago, I was climbing down Cadillac Mountain to catch the sunrise. My leg collapsed, I sat down and skidded, using my tripod to give me more friction. Luckily I stopped a few yards from the drop-off.
