We have all done it I'm sure. Looked in the attic or the cupboard and found a box of old holiday photos from the dark ages. We remember (vaguely) where the holiday destination was, but the actual location of the photograph eludes us.
Time was when every photograph you took was either a transparency (slides - er yes, remember them???!!!) or was printed on a piece of photo paper and cost you your hard-earned cash for each one.
Well of course, digital photography has changed all that, but unfortunately it has not always changed peoples habits in their holiday photography. Most people still just point the camera at a suitably picturesque scene, press the button and then put the camera away again. Since it doesn't cost anything to take a photo (whoopee, the government hasn't cottoned on to this one yet!) why not take a number of photos of the same scene - you can always delete the worst ones when you get home, and you might just get a winner.
If you go away with your camera on an exotic long haul holiday you should never come back with less than 500 images! And 1000 would be better!
So, back to the original question, how do we know where we went on our holidays?
The answer is easy. Wherever you go, remember to take a photograph of all sign posts and place names. In fact, anything with an address or location on it. These images will be in the right order in your holiday photos and you will then know where you were when the surrounding photos were taken!
They cost nothing but time to take, and will bring back memories for ever.
