If you’ve got some programming skills, I can thoroughly recommend this as a long-term hobby project.įolders: Date and location, e.g., Patuxent Ponds Park. It started off quite simple, but I’ve gradually added more and more features, so I can now do almost everything I want through a single interface (editing, annotating, taxon searches, uploading, etc). It’s only a few megabytes, but when I consider how much time I’ve invested in maintaining it, that database is probably now worth more to me than the majority of my entire photo collection…Īs to the programs I use: I wasn’t able to find anything that did everything I wanted, so I wrote my own. It also means I can back it up separately (and regularly). This makes searches and updates super-fast, and it’s very easy to re-organise the information whenever I need to. So I now keep all the extra information in a separate database. When I first started, I used the photo metadata to add extra information like geodata, locality, taxon, etc - but I soon found that performing complex searches or large updates could become very slow. All my photos are organised by year, month-day, and time - for example 2019/06-25/11.53.28.000.jpg.
