Pictures
I'm very happy for others to use my pictures. I reckon God created it, we steward it and all should be able to enjoy it!
I usually take 20-60 snaps per day of walking, so the 3 per day on this web site are merely representative - the best or most relevant. In addition, I reduce the web pics to 800*600 pixels to facilitate storage - the originals are up to 10 megapixels (3888*2592) and can be up to 5MB. So email me if you'd like to use the original of a web site published pic, or like to review all the pics of a walk.
To date, I've had requests to use my snaps or they have been published:
- on Murrumbigdee River Corridor signage
- the ACT and Australian Mountain Running Championship race entry forms
- CSIRO presentations to ACT Government
- Wee Jasper Reserves Ranger's web site
- 3 photos in the revamped display at the Namadgi Visitors Centre (relevant, not that good. Max reckons I captured his best aspect!)
- photos and trip report in The Bushwalker, Spring 07 edn
- 4 or 5 photos in 'Finding Your Way in the Bush - How to navigate and plan bushwalks' by George Carter, published by Canberra Bushwalking Club Inc ISBN 978-0-9598790-1-8
- supplied photos of Bimberi Peak to be used in the brochure for the Bimberi Youth Centre at the Alexander Maconochie Centre
- photos and an article on ACT-NSW border markers in The Bushwalker, Winter 09 edn (Vol 34, Issue 3).
I did a Google on jevans.pcug.org.au in mid-January 2009 and found my photos in:
- Appendix E to the ACTEW Draft environmental impact statement for enlarging the Cotter Dam (photo 32) at http://www.actew.com.au/publications/Appendix_E-Visual_Impact_Assessment.pdf
- A paper on Distributing points on manifolds from the School of Mathematics UNSW at http://wwwmaths.anu.edu.au/events/sy2005/odatalks/womersley.pdf
- and a couple of other walking/skiing blogs.
In every case, the author had acknowledged the source of the photo. Wonderful - just as I'd hoped - use the stuff!
Map segments for walks and additional photos (from walk # 268 on) are available via my Facebook public access Bushwalking 3 (walks 290 - 304), Bushwalking 2 (walks 281-289); Bushwalking 1 (walks 268-280) albums. You do not have to have a Facebook account for public access; just follow the links. However, I've found that Facebook public links expire, so I've changed to using Google's Picasa from walk 321 on. Picasa is excellent; added an embedded slideshow on the Home (Index) page in Dec 09. There is also a 'Best of an average lot' album, stored on box.net.

Geotagging Photos and Storing on Picasa
Download and install Geotag from http://geotag.sourceforge.net/. Download and unzip the Windows executable version of ExitTool from http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/. (Haven't got the auto tagging going yet by loading the track.gpx). Stick in the lat and long, save. Upload to Picasa.
