The update is great. Now if only you could post a decent pic occasionally...
If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).
LOL, I'll try to do betterThe update is great. Now if only you could post a decent pic occasionally...
I checked and that one is stripped of EXIF info too.
I grabbed the shot off the site and dropped it into Photoshop - all the fields are blank.

Weird.That’s really strange…I’ll circle back with ya on this later this weekend - hitting the road for some Astro/wildlife shooting here shortly for the weekend.
Strange - when I run the same image I uploaded through exifdata.com, it comes back with this:

Oh no, I know you're trying to help and I appreciate it. If I can figure out what's going on, it'll answer questions when it doesn't work. The system uses PHP to pull the EXIF data though, so I'm not 100% sure if there's much I can do from a software perspective. I'm thinking I might need an export guideline.Don't get me wrong Steve - I think this is GREAT - just trying to help work through the kinks...
Weird.
Try pulling the image right off this site and see. I tried the exifdata.com site with the one I have and when I click Detailed information I get no camera data.
No EXIF is showing in Photoshop when I look.Testing again

I saw that too - the system isn't supposed to allow images over 1200px so I was going to see what was happening. I wonder if it's resizing and stripping the info. If you have time, can you try one at 1200px?I did - one thing I noticed is the image size I uploaded is 3000x2000 - the one in the post is 2000x1344. Is there a resize process that happens on the backend? Could that be stripping the info?
I wonder if the method used to post to BCG forums makes a difference. IOW, I typically use the Ctrl-P (Cmd-P on a Mac) to post images but have also used Copy-Paste and have also linked to a URL using the Insert Image icon on top of the edit screen. I wonder if those might handle EXIF data differently and some methods might strip it off while others leave it attached to the posted image.Oh no, I know you're trying to help and I appreciate it.

I noticed this is resized to 2000 px as well. Can you try it at 1200px - as Tim suggests, maybe the system is resizing the images and stripping EXIF in the process.Testing again

GREAT call!!! Thanks! that will help.And there it is....so anything that gets scaled down on the backend is getting it's info stripped.
I believe that's exactly what's happening..I noticed this is resized to 2000 px as well. Can you try it at 1200px - as Tim suggests, maybe the system is resizing the images and stripping EXIF in the process.
Have fun and thanks again!Same result - so I'll make sure anything I post here from now on conforms... My work here is done...NOW I'm going camping!!
Anytime! And this trip is all about astro/milkyway shooting so we'll see...first time giving this a serious go.... Will be fun either way!Have fun and thanks again!
