Hi folks, hope all are well today!

Is there a Lemmy community (or dare I say Reddit sub) that talks about finding locations from photos without meta/EXIF data?

I know there are groups that do this sort of thing for “fun”, so I thought I would ask here first… before doing random internet searches.

I have photo of a person in a location but my “tracking skills” are terrible. Best I can do is determine the country the photo was taken in.

My intent is to keep myself safe, I am not doing anything nefarious!! Just throwing that out there folks 🙂

Appreciate any and all feedback/responses. Have a great day all!

UPDATE 12/20/2024: I was able to very the info I needed without using any photos. However, I do appreciate all the responses. Maybe this post will help others.

    I have some old family photos (1940s) that I’d love to have identified. All of the folks are dead, and I can generally ID the date by the ages of the kids. In NYC, but where? If you start a community, I’ll be there.

      Understood, I hope you get to identify the locations. I’m not sure I have the brain power to start something like that. If I do, or find a community, I’ll reach out and let you know.
