This is a great blog; however, when photos are posted, the camera, lens, and settings would be most appreciated by all. Otherwise, it is mostly a slide show!

The majority of the images posted include the embedded EXIF data. If these technical details are so critical to your enjoyment, learn to obtain this freely available data for yourself.

Not by me, I like the slide show.

Digital images contain all that data in an EXIF (extended information file) that is part of their data, UNLESS the photographer stripped it off in post production. If you download the file and use the right software — any of dozens of apps will do it — you can read the EXIF and learn far more than you care about.
What’s wrong with slide shows? I built a successful career producing them.
As my old boss used to say, “If I’m worried about the technical details of your image, you failed to communicate to me.”

OK that is why I don't post no photos.

That's a frequent comment, and I can't disagree. One thing I liked about looking through photo mags was seeing the technical details of the equipment and settings used.

Right, but compare that with just reading the details on the screen.

I actually enjoyed slide shows my father did from the SLR era. He occasionally shot Ektachrome and Kodachrome slides.

My only interest would be what lens. Maybe what camera. Beyond that, setting my camera to someone else's settings would only be a starting point. Chances are, even if I was standing right beside someone, our settings would probably be different.

There are browser extensions that will provide that same information. I know Firefox and Chrome have them.

On a Mac, open a file in Apple Preview. There’s a menu item in the Tools menu called “Show Inspector”.

Although I usually remember the settings I made when I took the pictures but not always. So when I don't remember do you expect me to check the EXIF so that I can post it and you don't want to read the EXIF yourself?
Besides I still use film and although one of my cameras does record the settings but it's a pain to read it.
