Nice bulls.

I suspect many here are aware, but on the off chance this helps someone to decide on whether to post nice pics in the future...

If you are taking pictures with a GPS enable camera (such as a cell phone), GPS coordinates are often entered into the EXIF data of the photograph by default. EXIF data can be accessed in a windows operating system by right clicking the file, selecting the properties option, and then going to the details tab of the resulting pop-up. Location is just one type of information that can be stored in EXIF; others include camera settings, dates, and so forth.

EXIF data is how people get locations from photos. There is no special software that I am aware of that can get a photos location without the EXIF data. It's easy to check and/or edit the EXIF data using the process outlined above. Or, you can use a simple point and shoot camera with no GPS and not have to worry about it.

Best,
