YES, I agree

EXIF data is today’s replacement for the old pocket notebook in which the sort of info you request was recorded “in the moment” of a particular exposure.

The EXIF data may not be available with a given image post, but besides that, the extra time to attempt to access it -- if one even understands how to do it! -- is an obstruction. The less advanced photographers among us are probably the least able to access the information on their own.

It would be valuable, but some here will not be willing to provide the basic info. These include individuals who consider that to be "giving away" too much re. their work.

Keep in mind, the most important EXIF data you will ever see, and that which will be most helpful, is the data from your own images.

Then you have something new to learn, not everything needs to be spoon fed.....dont you think? It would take less than second to access the EXIF and it has nothing to do with been an advanced photographer...please.

I agree with you Current!
A long time ago I started showing images on UHH with the camera and lens info and even the geographical location, where my picture was taken. I thought, that other members will perhaps follow? Well, not at all.
Then I stopped doing that and can see only Regis who is consistantly giving such information away - which I highly appreciate!
But, every once in a while somebody would ask me for a detail description, where my picture was taken?
So, from there on, everytime I see a good image of some UHH member, I would ask the photographer for the tech. data, too.
And they always give it to me. Thank you!
You may try to take that route, too?
Good Luck!

I such case no because what if I don't have the exif? Image taken with film camera?

Also I often don't have exif data when I create a New file, say a stitched panorama or focus stack, etc. Or images scanned from film.

Oh I don't have EXIF because if I have to have EXIF data then I really can't post any pictures. Up until last weekend my photos were shot with film.

Most of what I have learned from EXIF has come from cameras I do not own, but has guided my thinking about next camera purchase.

Could you elaborate on that?

PGS - for travel pictures perhaps, but do you really want the gps for my living room? And for say an environmentally sensitive location would I want to subject it to more intrusion. Think outside your box. We are not all going to a special spot in Paris. If someone is interested enough to ask I usually tell them if I can. That assumes I even know the f-stop and shutter speed as that depends on the lens I'm using. My older vintage ones don't communicate data with the body. And this is the case with a lot of UHH'ers.

Yes. Unless the EXIF data is removed or modified in some way before posting. UHH strips EXIF data out unless unless the image is uploaded with <store original> checked. So long as there is the option to download an image, then whatever EXIF data is included is available, and easy to access with browser plug-ins or other tools. Why should the poster have to do the work to supply information that the observer can very easily access for themselves? We're not responsible for spoon feeding everybody. If we're trying to make a point, or to educate, then it makes sense, otherwise why encourage laziness?

I have probably told the story a dozen times how I came to digital photography wed to low base ISO numbers, but then I saw professionals who left EXIF in place using "insanely" high ISO settings, numbers like 8000, to take the kind of pictures I prefer - aperture values like f/5.6 to get deeper DOF, but still have shutter speeds near 1/1000 - indoors with its limited light. As a result, I am now looking at a Pentax KP, reputed to do very well at high ISO values, as my next camera.
