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.

    Could always give this guy’s series a bit of a watch, viewers send in images and he tries to geolocate them: https://youtu.be/QWtQKNsA-uY

    There’s some tips to be gleaned from the videos when he’s discussing his methods, but it’s not a step-by-step guide by any sense of the word.
