where can the EXIF data be found?

If you're using XP; right click the image in Windows Explorer then click Properties. Click the Summary tab and if there's an Advanced button, click it.

You should see the EXIF data.

There are plenty of programs out there that will extract it to the clipboard or a text file for you - just google :)
 
very interesting theme, i think this one may be a little tricky to convey. will be interesting to see what people post up, i reckon we might end up with a set of completely different images here.

will have to wait and see.
 
I found the 'thing' I need to do mine already. I hope nobody else has the same idea though...!

This is going to be interesting! Some snooping around with the telephoto may be in order :p

Actually I used to think that too. I find it's better (if you're brave!) to go up to people. It guarantees they will look at the camera and make eye contact etc.

In other news:

My placeholder is up. :p
 
I am sure I have seen that shot before Raymond - months ago, if not years! :eek:

Even if it is just a placeholder, that is hardly in the spirit of the rules IMO.

Why post just so you are the 2nd in the thread? Makes no real sense to me. Its not like the order is taken into account.
