I've heard the questions \"how can I find the location of a photo?\" or \"How can I find out where a picture was taken?\" many times.\u00a0This is a handy method to find the location of where a photo(using a smartphone) was taken whether it's photos on your computer or photos located on social netword profiles. Keep in mind some social networks remove the photos meta data. It is also possible for users to turn the feature off on their smart phone that allows the location meta data to be stored or recorded in the photo.<\/p>\n

Modern cameras also store metadata such as the model name and exposure settings.<\/p>\n
