->> I want to say thanks to Patrick Murphy-Racey for posting info about how his photographs were made. I think it would helpful (maybe only to me) to see more technical or EXIF (if that is what it is called) from the photographs posted on the member pages. I would find information like focal length, lens, shutter speed, aperture, flash settings interesting and helpful.
Also any other information such as challenges as far as location, subject etc. that were a part of making the photograph |

->> This board could be used - at least until it fills up - to notify the rest of us when details about specific photos have been added to the caption area of your member page.
Or maybe there is a way to view this information with photos already posted? |

->> Mike,
The EXIF data is embedded in the images already. Just check the properties

| ->> I tried that, but all I saw was the file information not the shooting data. I right-clicked on the photo, hit properties to view the file info. Maybe there is another way. |

| ->> Mike, you can try a Photoshop... In Photoshop, open up the image, go to file info where you type caption... Check out #5 or #6 in that window... Also, check out with a Photo Mechanic... You'll see some tech info there... |

->> Mike...this is one of those cases where YOU have to do the work. WHile it's fantastic when someone has the time and patience to tell you EXACTLY how she/he shot an image, in most cases the info is in the file porperties.
Here is what you do: download the image to your HD, open it in Photoshop and fo to FILE-->FILE INFO...
You'll see something like this (using Photoshop CS):

Unfortunately CS does not correctly show you the shutter speed, however in msot cases you can get close by looking at the subject and lens/focal length data...
Again...this is WORK, and thats the reason why you won't see busy people posting this info...it takes time... |

->> Mike,
I should say I question your camera clock, given your northern latitude. It is not likely that you really shot the image at 6:47 pm.

->> Thanks for the lesson on how to find the information. I didn't mean for it to be posted on every single image, but a few of the better ones or occassionally would be nice. I'll follow the steps to find the information myself.
On my clock. I had to think back, but I am pretty sure it is correct because if I recall correctly the game didn't start until 6 p.m. so it couldn't have been 5:47 p.m. Daylight savings or whatever it is called doesn't roll back until sometime near Halloween. It was an unsually clear day for Toledo, which is mostly cloudy most of the time. |

| ->> Delane, I am not sure if you received my e-mail. I will be in Philly (on non-photo business for my primary job) tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday. If I can shoot any images for you (for practice and to get out of the hotel room) Let me know. 419-466-0150 |

->> Mike,
You are correct. The sunset time for Toledo on 10/2/03 was 7:15 pm so it is possible your clock is correct, when you shot the image at 6:47 pm
Cheers.......

->> Ian,
I followed the steps, downloaded the image, and check in Photoshop 7 for the EXIF info but it wasn't there. The other info such as general, keywords was there. Maybe it doesn't transfer with every image?
Either way, thanks again Ian and Delane for teaching me something.
And Steve, thanks for adding the info to your images. |

->> I think the best thing for you to do is try and figure out how Patrick Murphy-Racey does it. Next I would try to do it yourself, copy his style. Then finally, I would try and use this knowledge to come up with a way to see which is unique to you.
I always think it is funny to work so hard to be allowed to shoot in a pack at the White House. You are standing next to so many others shooting the same thing and then sending it to your agency who competes against those you shot next to for a pay check.
Look for those places no one else is shooting from. Find those angles we haven't explored yet. Of course always have a safe shot before pushing the limits. |
