Hello. . I have a desire that those posting photographs, in their introduction to their capture, include information on what lenses, ISO Speed and Aperture they used. I would find it really useful for deepening my knowledge and appreciation of each capture.

The subject has been added to *caedes mental backlog, I think ...

Technics post

Equipment Info

but we find out HERE that he's been sneaking off for piano lessons ...

sheeesh

Oh! OK - I guess its a bit obvious really and thanks for giving me the loop info.

I just posted the details on my latest upload, but it has yet to hit the galleries. I do have a question though. What is the best way to find all these facts out? Neat Image tells you the camera, shutter speed, and ISO, but I actally had to reload the image on the memory card and put it back in the camera to find out the f/stop. What is the most convenient way to retrieve the information on any undedited photo on the computer?

irfanview will tell you the EXIF data (press E) .. there's also Information (press I)

you can "copy to clipboard" via a button and it looks like this

Information doesn't have a clipboard option .. but it's just dimensions, file size .. etc

Gosh .. I hope there's no incriminating info in there .. I broke my mouse scrolling to the bottom

Your camera can shoot with a shutter speed of 1/1002nd of a second? Now that is control.

Mine rambles on and on about the owner, firmware, and serial number. Do I wan't people to know my camera's serial number?

It would be good if they grouped the "important" stuff at the top .. and then discussed geneology branches of the CEO's family later down the list

ie .. I don't think most of that is pertinent to anything

While exploring files in windows explorer you can simply right click on it and bring up the properties. In the summary tab there is a button with advanced on it. If you click that it will give you all the info you want.

Of course you are talking PC's. . but its a good tip. Just about the right amount of info. . although its not a copy and paste job. . and in fact many of the captures I have downloaded have this main information. . the ones that don't are the photoshop etc. manips. . .

I would still definitly like to see this happen with this site.

I secondeded that.

It should be optional: the fields should be there, just not necessary for upload. As for all the images already uploaded, what did Caedes decide to do with all the old comments when we could have an icon next to our new ones?
