Unbelievable (Geotagged Photo)

November 02, 2024 12:45PM
I went on a shop yesterday that required an exterior and interior photo of the business. There is only one business of this kind in my city. I went above and beyond and used my camera app to place a geo tag on the photo itself. The editor just sent it back saying that I uploaded the wrong exterior photo (that I was in the wrong place). The coodinates even match for the inside and the outside of the store. Im speachless. I sent back a response. Has this happened to anyone else? I also included the purchase receipt from the location.

Is this a red "quicktrak"? If so, I've had a number of issues with photos. They have been rejected saying I have reused photos, which I have not. I no longer do them.

I don't think that I have ever had that because the editors were always able to verify my geotagged photos of the exterior or interior. So, I think that the editors who said that your photos were reused could have never been more wrong. It would help if you were still compensated as they promised.

It took WAY more time and energy than it was worth, but yes I ultimately got paid. For each of the four times this happened, I had to ask the original date that they thought the picture was duplicated from. (Surprisingly, they provided this.) I then sent the picture from that date and the photo from the correct date. It was crazy, and...never again.

Huh. It's not like there's one of those on every corner of a city. Or even one in each county!

My point exactly! The editor said that the picture did not match the location. I’m not sure what that even meant but the store is so large that I would need an aerial shot to capture the entire exterior. I used the camera time stamp app too. I’m still waiting to see if it gets approved.

Sorry you went thru this but thanks for HeadsUp. If I ever come across it - I won't touch these shops for any money.

Not worth it. I only got picked it up because I had other shops in the same shopping area. $15 pay. I purchased coffee. This should have been easy peasy.
