what is EXIF? :chuckle: that's funny. Just an ordinary camera here. Best of luck to all entries.
-
exif data is the data from the camera. The settings and such of the camera when the photo was taken.
-
what is EXIF?
EXIF is the Exposure Information of a photo. If you have an EXIF reader file installed on your computer you can open up the EXIF File to find out how the photo was taken. It looks like this:
Camera Maker: Canon
Camera Model: Canon EOS 40D
Lens: EF400mm f/5.6L USM
Image Date: 2010-12-01 15:21:54 -0800
Focal Length: 400.0mm
Aperture: f/9.0
Exposure Time: 0.0080 s (1/125)
ISO equiv: 400
Exposure Bias: none
Metering Mode: Matrix
Exposure: shutter priority (semi-auto)
White Balance: Auto
Flash Fired: No (Manual)
Color Space: Adobe RGB (1998)
You can learn an awful lot about photography and exposures by being able to read these files.
Your photo is absolutely beautiful and it just goes to show people that it doesn't take a fancy, Expensive camera to take a fantastic photo! Congrats to you on the awesome photograph!

Okay I was going to post another photo, but simply could not resist posting this one because my wife is in it. This is my buck taken last night (with her in the blind, it just happened to walk by "my window") This is her first year hunting, and archery at that, and we put SO much time in together working this spot. Even though there is another nice 5x5 coming in that she is going to go out for, she considers this OUR buck. I bought her a diamond when I asked her to marry me. I bought her a diamond when I asked to go hunting with me. BOTH are paying huge dividends. Tenders are in the marinade and bottle of champagne is waiting for her when she gets home from work today.
-
The only use I have for winter anymore is to hunt these birds....
