In this video, we're taking a look at geolocation, specifically geo locations on a photo.

00:07.620 --> 00:13.800
Now, Wickham's files files will tend to have what's called metadata, basically information about that

00:13.800 --> 00:14.850
particular file.

00:14.880 --> 00:22.080
It doesn't matter if you're using say a word document, a photo, MP, three, file, video file, whatnot,

00:22.080 --> 00:24.450
it's going to have some level of metadata.

00:25.110 --> 00:29.940
Now, with the metadata, when it comes to photos, we might be able to pull information such as the

00:29.940 --> 00:35.570
type of camera was used to take the photo, the time and data was used to take the photo.

00:35.580 --> 00:39.240
And if we're really lucky, we might be able to pull a geo location.

00:40.200 --> 00:45.570
Now the geo location is pretty cool because it will actually give you the latitude and longitude of

00:45.570 --> 00:47.040
where that photo was taken.

00:47.400 --> 00:51.870
Now, if we're tracking someone, we're looking forward to seeing someone on the run, someone that's

00:51.870 --> 00:52.770
a missing person.

00:52.770 --> 00:54.930
And they they take a photo.

00:55.740 --> 01:02.010
We might be able to be able to feed that photo and take a look at the geo location where that photo

01:02.010 --> 01:05.610
was taken and when in order to help us find that person.

01:07.450 --> 01:15.070
Now there are some caveats since a lot of times you're not a lot of photos won't have geolocation on

01:15.070 --> 01:15.340
there.

01:15.340 --> 01:19.060
Things like smartphones will typically have it turned off by default.

01:19.660 --> 01:24.880
However, if we're lucky, the digital camera, they took it with the cell phone they took it with will

01:24.880 --> 01:27.490
hopefully have the geo location turned on.

01:27.880 --> 01:34.720
So again, if they take a photo with their geo location on, it will give us a location on a map and

01:34.720 --> 01:37.360
latitude longitude of where that photo was taken.

01:39.200 --> 01:47.990
And there's also this could also be spoofed, meaning that you can feed false geo locations into images.

01:47.990 --> 01:56.210
So it's always good to double check what you find, whether it's geolocation photos or any other information

01:56.210 --> 01:56.790
you find.

01:56.810 --> 02:04.010
So in this case, if I found a photo and I found a new location, I would probably double check, reverse

02:04.010 --> 02:08.930
image, maybe pull up a Google map elsewhere and see if that actually does match up.

02:10.010 --> 02:11.900
So let's take a look at how this works.

02:12.410 --> 02:19.850
I'm over a geo imager, geo imgur.com, and I'm going to click on this Blue Start Now button.

02:20.390 --> 02:25.280
Now on here, we can see this map here on this window pane and we can see this blue box here.

02:25.280 --> 02:27.890
It says drop photos here or clicked upload.

02:27.890 --> 02:34.580
I'm going to click on here to upload I'm going to upload this photo here so we could see the photo was

02:34.580 --> 02:35.100
uploaded.

02:35.120 --> 02:38.720
We could also see it found a geotag and it's right here.

02:38.720 --> 02:40.700
So I'm just going to click on control.

02:40.700 --> 02:49.670
I'm going to scroll my mouse wheel in and we're going to kind of zoom in here and we can see the location

02:49.670 --> 02:50.670
of where it's at.

02:50.690 --> 02:52.850
So that in itself is pretty cool.

02:52.880 --> 02:58.850
But what we could do is since this is Google Maps, I could take a little person here and we could see

02:58.850 --> 03:00.770
if they actually did a street view.

03:01.450 --> 03:04.350
So if I drag and drop the person here, I could see the street view.

03:04.360 --> 03:12.430
I could just kind of move the camera around here and I could see kind of around the area that they were

03:12.430 --> 03:12.730
at.

03:12.730 --> 03:19.090
And I could see the bridge right there of where where this photo was taken.

03:19.090 --> 03:20.980
So that's really cool.

03:20.980 --> 03:24.700
It's it's really handy finding that geolocation.

03:24.700 --> 03:27.160
And again, I could see the latitude and longitude here.

03:28.520 --> 03:35.030
And again, if if you have photos, look at the metadata, do a reverse image search and well, might

03:35.030 --> 03:40.370
as well throw it into a tool like geo imager and see if it has a geo location attached to it.

03:40.550 --> 03:43.970
So again, just a lot of useful tools when it comes to photos.

03:44.090 --> 03:45.230
Thank you for watching.

03:45.260 --> 03:46.430
I'll see you next video.
