Within the Layer Rendering section, it may be a good idea to set the Layer’s Blending mode to Multiply.

To set the rotation to the direction, click on the Data Define Override icon to the right of the rotation field, then within the field type dropdown select the direction field.If you want to fine-tune your geotags or manually geotag, there’s a separate screen. Set the Size, Fill Color, Stroke Color, and Stroke Width you would like to use. The other parts of the screen let you move through individual photos, move through the track on the map, and to apply timezone or clock offsets so that the photo’s EXIF timestamp corresponds to the time data in the GPX file.Locate and select the SVG icon you would like to use using the SVG Groups and SVG Image options.Change Symbol layer type from Simple Marker to SVG marker.Select the “ Simple Marker” (SVG marker in the screenshot).Within the Layer Styling Panel, select the photos layer.Select the Layer Styling Panel icon in the layers window.Optionally, you can change the photo pin to a SVG marker, like a camera and also set the rotation to the direction field in the attribute table. This can be helpful in seeing which way the photo was taken on the map.

If you would like to take this a step further, you can also add a FOV cone to the photo pins in QGIS to see the direction that the photo was taken in. You can use the search box at the top or locate it within the Vector Creation section.

Once you have the processing toolbox open, locate the Import geotagged photos algorithm.

Open into the processing toolbox by clicking on the gear icon in the project toolbar.

From here, we will use the photos themselves to create a new layer within QGIS. Working off of the same dataset that Coleman used, the parent data are the parks and the child data are the features in each of the parks. Instead, I would like to show how you can link photos to attributes within a layer and also leverage the photo EXIF data to create field-of-view (FOV) cones within QGIS 3.6. While that post was written for QGIS 2.2 and could use a refresh, for the most part, his article is still applicable in the latest version of QGIS. However, I found out I was about 5 years too late as Coleman had already written about this long ago. Originally, I planned on writing this post on creating relations between layers within QGIS as a way of showing how users could link their child data from repeatable sections back to their parent. Going through the class, I thought about what I could write about that could be applicable for Fulcrum users. When the opportunity arose I was eager to attend the course. While I have dabbled with QGIS in the past when attempting to assist Fulcrum users, I had never really spent a lot of time to take a deep dive into QGIS. Recently, Kurt Menke from Bird’s Eye View GIS came to Spatial Networks’ HQ office and provided us with a three-day training course on all things QGIS.
