OSINT - Open Source Intelligence
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3NsT8lJRlE&t=59s
Youtube's Part 2 covers five ways to find the metadata/exifdata in an image or video.
Metadata is the key of clues when it comes to images, videos, documents or any other file type for that matter. This day and age, it is increasingly rare to come across a full packet of metadata. But in case there is a wide spread of information such as who created it, where it was made and when it was made, it’s good to know some basic ways to check for that attached information.
This tutorial does not cover the full extent of how to look up exif and metadata, but if you’re new to the topic, it will hopefully help.
The OSINT At Home series is useful for those looking to find digital breadcrumbs and pick up some methods of open source intelligence (OSINT), digital investigations and good old plain research. No matter who you are, or where you are in the world, you can follow these tutorials from home with publicly available information to answer questions such as who, what, where and when.

A great loss to the photographic community. It was too popular for one person to support the cost of running the site.

Yes, it is sad; indeed, a great loss.
