@yostos exiftool has saved me so many times! Usually when I travel and forget to change timezone.
Coming back from Japan, specifically, I fixed all my pictures by adding 9 hours
exiftool "-DateTimeOriginal+=0:0:0 09:00:00" *.jpg
The += is great, because you can correct times precisely, instead of just overwriting them.
@dreadnaut Thank you for your suggestion on adjusting dates with exiftool! Your method of adding or subtracting time instead is smart. It indeed allows for date correction while preserving the original timestamp, which is a great approach I hadn’t considered before.
By the way, did you come to Japan for a trip? I hope you enjoyed your stay here. If you ever plan to visit Japan again, please let me know—I’d love to share some recommendations with you!
@yostos Yes, I visited on holiday last December, and had a great time. A few photos and words here, although in Italian only: dreadnaut.altervista.org/categorie...
Recommendations always welcome, I hope to come back at some point in the future!
@dreadnaut Wow! You have crossed the central part of Japan and visited many historical sites. Tōdai-ji was built during the time when the capital was moved to Nara in the 8th century. If you visit Nara again, I recommend visiting Hōryū-ji and the Fujiwara Palace ruins, which were built before the 8th century. Hōryū-ji, in particular, is said to be the oldest wooden structure in the world.
