Question How Important Is Exif Info Anyway ?

Why should it be so important to read the Exif information on images posted here anyway - surely a photograph is either GOOD , BAD or INDIFFERENT - irrespective of the Exif info or lack of such info - it is how the observer views the image that should be the most important thing in any gallery based site - and as such Photoradar does and "reasonable" job at presenting these images - if somewhat less profficently than the old DCM site did.

There are still many deficiencies in this site needing attention - and improvements have been promised - so rather than criticising the site for its lack of supplying Exif info to each and every photo - why not give the admin a chance to attend to these promised improvements - like better presentation , easier posting of and linking images to forums etc - it will all take time - please don't cloud the issue by bemoaning this trivial lack of supplying Exif Info.

After all such info is - easily and readily obtained - as already stated very informatively by Harry - by using such excellent free software as the Jeffrey's Exif Viewer.

As an example - for those still requiring this info - click on the link below - you will see EVERY LITTLE DETAIL about a recently posted image of mine - I have nothing to hide - unlike many who still seem reluctant to post their "precious images" here - for whatever reason.

But why people should be so inquisitive as to wish to see ALL this technical info - frankly baffles me somewhat.

Fortunately this information doesn't divulge the colour of my underwear etc - it is EXTENSIVE however - informative in parts - but quite frankly - exceptionally "boring".
