Chris,

If you call GetGeotransform() you should get back six doubles which for
a north up affine georeferenced image (ie one specified with a single
tiepoint and a pixel scale) will contain the origin, and the pixel size.

I would encourage you to read the docs to understand the geotransform
fully.

Best regards,
