<h3>Phone camera procedure: Cave entrances</h3> <h3>Phone camera procedure: Cave entrances</h3>
<p>Even if you have no intention of using your location or recording a track, the camera in your phone will record locations of your photos which are extremely useful to future expeditions - for reasons which only become apparent when you yourself try to work out what someione did 10 years previously. <p>Even if you have no intention of using your location or recording a track, the camera in your phone will record locations of your photos which are extremely useful to future expeditions - for reasons which only become apparent when you yourself try to work out what someione did 10 years previously.

<p>Your <em>camera</em> will use the same location settings as the rest of your phone, but sometimes with a bit of a delay. We have lots of examples of geo-located photos where the recorded location is alctually the location of the <em>previous</em> photo because someone has taken a quick photo but the phone hasn't had time after waking up to get a location, so it uses the previous one! And doesn't tell you!! <p>Your <em>camera</em> will use the same location settings as the rest of your phone, but sometimes with a bit of a delay.

<p>So when taking a photo of an entrance, always take one photo; delete it, and take another. This will give your phone a chance to get synchronised properly. <p>So when taking a photo of an entrance, always take one photo; delete it, and take another.

<p>ALSO: always take 3 photos of any entrance, the obvious one about 10m away, a scene-setting one from 20 or 30m away, but also a really close one of 3 to 5m away, so that we can see if rocks have moved around the entrance and also for a much better identification in future. If there is a tag, <em>always</em> take a close-up photograph of it so that the letters are readable. <p>ALSO: always take 3 photos of any entrance, the obvious one about 10m away, a scene-setting one from 20 or 30m away, but also a really close one of 3 to 5m away, so that we can see if rocks have moved around the entrance and also for a much better identification in future.
