Disclosed is a method of determining one or more event subsets within a plurality of images. Each image is associated with time and location data specifying the time and location of capture of the image. The method determines a time variable for each adjacent pair of images in a capture time ordered list of the plurality of images. A distance variable for each adjacent pair of images in the ordered list of images is then determined. The method determines speed data of the image capture device at the time and location of capture of each image. The ordered list of images is then partitioned into one or more event subsets on the basis of a cost function, the cost function being determined in accordance with a normalization of the time variable and distance variable, wherein the time variable and the distance variable are weighted relative to the speed data.
