Processing Pictures
This assumes that the notes during the tour were recorded with a Voice Recorder app. Camera time must be sync'd with the phone before tour. If off an hour because of a missed daylight savings change, there is a VBA macro to change it. But when IrfanView cleans the file it restores the time. The facility is still useful when needed to sync.

Set camera ISO to 3200 to increase depth of field. Lens used was 24-70 equivalent.
