Until you stretch it across a 30-meter elevation grid, line up the horizon with a digital terrain model, and prove that the smoke trail in frame 47 could only have come from one specific tree line.

If a photo claims to be from Donetsk at 11:40 in July but the shadows are pointing the wrong way, you don't need a confession. The sun alrea…

Manual geolocation is the discipline of finding that spot before the news cycle moves on. Forget the marketing copy about "AI that finds anythin…
