EXIF Info Is Here!

We've had a lot of people asking about EXIF info under the photos and I finally contacted a developer and had it done. We're still tweaking it and trying to get it to go through the archives and add EXIF under the photos for past threads, but for now anything new posted to the forum as an image upload should show EXIF under it. Note that if you link in with your images (like embed from Flickr or similar), you won't see the EXIF info. It only works when the image is uploaded to the forum.

Here are a few test shots with EXIF under them. Once you post the thread, the EXIF should show up. Let me know if you run into any issues.

That worked great! Thanks Steve (my pictures are not quite as magical but the data is there).

Man, bad timing :)

I had to reload the script and it lost all the data. You'll have to re-upload 'em to see it. We're still working on trying to rebuild the cache for all the old photos, but every time we do, I have to uninstall the script and it removes all the EXIF info.

Once we have it, we should be able to display EXIF info for every image posted from the first day the board started :) Right now, we keep running into an error message.

lol, no worries at all.
 
Thanks for the thoughtful addition Steve. Certainly is helpful to a deeper understanding of the genesis and execution of the shots. Love the fact that you have created a community that freely shares and is committed to supporting ongoing growth in our individual journeys. This addition is just one more example of that commitment. Thanks again.
 
I just imported several pictures in to "2 Osprey Landing at the same time. Sebastian Inlet" and no EXIF. I reduced the photos in NXStudio and no EXIF, did I do anything wrong. Mark

Didn't work for me....

That photo didn't have much exif imbedded, so there would be nothing to read in the categories being extracted (when I viewed the full exif with a different tool). Some programs strip out exif when exporting. For example export as in photoshop only lets you imbed copyright info but nothing else.

It won't show for attachments, they have to be inserted into the posts (at the time the post is made).
 
The developer got the cache rebuild to work so now every photo (over 38,000) posted here will show EXIF info if it's available.

Note that the system won't show EXIF if:
  • It's been stripped from the photo
  • If the image is over 1200px wide and the site resizes it
  • It's just an in-line attachment and not inserted into the post as an image (just drag and drop into the post to make it easy)
  • It's posted from an outside source (like Flickr, etc)

Weird. When I pull up the photo in EXIF viewer there’s tons of info there….odd…maybe I’m missing something?
I grabbed the shot off the site and dropped it into Photoshop - all the fields are blank.
