Why Do Some Magazines Print Exposure Triangle Information?
Feb 25, 2024 12:37:05 #
I've never seen the point when photo magazines and other publications like Arizona Highways print the shutter speed, f/stop, ISO, and lens information regarding the photos they take. Is this supposed to be educational? The settings were good for that particular time on that particular day, but maybe not so good at other times. They usually don't mention if a tripod was used. Am I missing something?

It is a bit odd, but I suppose some people find it interesting, even though as you point out it is meaningless. I hope they give the photographer Credit......

I never want to know them, nor the camera used.
But some people do.
Not sure what they do with the information though.

UHH Photo Gallery guidelines follow the same curious logic:
"Try to include the specifications of your gear and settings in the post accompanying the pictures. Stating aperture, shutter speed, ISO would be great. Even better would be to also include your body and lens specs. This really helps others learn what settings work in various scenarios."
In the periodic main photography discussion topics about inclusion of exif in comments, there are many who want and who feel there's value. I am not one of those

I very often include the data when I post a picture. There are beginners who may be helped with such info.
for those that have been shooting for years and seem to think they know everything. Its no help.

Depth of field varies among cameras (sensor size) and focal length, so a chosen aperture isn't relative for others in many cases. I use a higher shutter speed because of my wobbliness; many can get a sharp image handheld at 1/15 second.
Is the goal to achieve details throughout the frame or to use light and shadow for impact? I often shoot in high contrast scenes with the goal of creating silhouettes or nearly featureless dark areas that emphasize the subject which is in bright light. Conversely, I'll over-expose for deliberate high key. And I do a lot of editing. My exif won't help anyone

That's right, the final result has nothing to do with editor usage. It's all in the camera.

I am interested in knowing the choices the photographer made. What's the harm?

But do you know WHY they made that choice?
My choice was solely because I was pleased with that brand film cameras I have and it was less than $1,000 at the time I purchased it.
