Woot! This Tea is excited!!! I can't wait to see the photos!!!! - Smart.tea  205.4 #1546 2:35PM
What's geo tagged mean? And do you have to be at miles meetip to participate I'm gonna try to make it but no guarantees - Momof2princesses  151.6 #2260 2:44PM
@Michelle, sorry this is not a print, but just a scan of the film.I just love the unique quality of the shoot... You own the only print and I will not make anther. - GoofyJoe  1864.1 #41 2:48PM
Haha I meant mikes stupid touch screen! - Momof2princesses  151.6 #2260 2:49PM
If you take a picture with your iPhone it is geo tagged with gps location. If location services are turned on. Just trying to make sure someone doesn't take a photo from the web and call it theirs. Some SLR and point and shoot will geo tag and other will not. - GoofyJoe  1864.1 #41 2:51PM
FYI, I have won contest with ba iPhone pics, it all in the photographer and not the equipment. Open to anyone... - GoofyJoe  1864.1 #41 2:55PM
Do we have to be at the meet up to win? I don't know if I am going to make it. Lol - Gummy  83.0 #3237 3:00PM
Should of added that, no need to be present... - GoofyJoe  1864.1 #41 3:02PM
Ooh so you have to have an iPhone you can't do it from a p&s and submit it? Sorry so many ?'s I only jabs an iPod touch not the new one - Momof2princesses  151.6 #2260 3:02PM
I have the same question: I'm in UT and won't be able to go. Do we still get to participate? Or only people who are there? Obviously if we aren't there, then we can geo tag it. I do have pics from my previous trips that I can use, but it's not from this weekend. - Amanda  120.4 #2729 3:03PM
Those pics are fine. The details will be in the file. Yes you can enter from anywhere. I will ship prizes. - GoofyJoe  1864.1 #41 3:05PM

Geo tagging is automatic if you have location service running on iPhone. Other cameras have it as a option if you don't, don't worry send in the pics anyway. - GoofyJoe  1864.1 #41 7:41PM

@zooter, i made the change for you. http://tinyurl.com/4n9usc6 - GoofyJoe  1864.1 #41 12:26PM
I have a quick question... The contest says no professional photographs... but I noticed a few photographs stamped with professional logos?? - michelledork  658.3 #159 2:07PM
Thank you GJ! I promise, no more swapping out! :) - Zooter  1361.8 #58 2:08PM
Feel like you got someone to beat, Zooter??? ;)))) - michelledork  658.3 #159 2:11PM
I did Michelle, now you do! *snap* - Zooter  1361.8 #58 2:13PM
@michelledork, you can create a macro in photoshop to always put a logo on. that means nothing, I see first year students do it all the time, in Dig1 it one of the first lessons. @Zooter, no prob, just a few steps... - GoofyJoe  1864.1 #41 2:13PM
I agree w/ calypso, hope the judges keep the prompt in mind. I'm going to he parks wed and will take some shots there I don't really have anything that fits the prompt in my collection alrdy. Will be sure to email them by fri night, GJ! - TickledTink  352.8 #405 2:30PM
Someone should try the old time camera app. It creates some neat stuff. - GoofyJoe  1864.1 #41 2:59PM
@all who entered, my computer crashed but i have a backup, the restore is very slow. even with 58meg connection carbonite limits how much data you can restore at once. i will email them to push it faster. The pics are posted on flickr and i will upload the last 5 today. once up i post to here again. - GoofyJoe  1864.1 #41 8:58AM
