EXIF Analysis - Part 1
I took some time out from taking photos to look at the data saved within the pictures.
As you may know, digital cameras store a wide range of additional information when you take a picture, in addition to the data for the picture.
I have spent some time writing a small program in Python which extracts this information to see whether this information can inform me about how I'm using my gear, and which settings I tend to use etc.
In addition, the intention is to be able to spot those bits of gear that are really 'gathering dust' so that I can sell them to fund other things that I may want to try out.
The first part of the process was learning to program in Python! - I'm not a programmer...
Once this has been written up , it will appear on the Post Processing page on this site, but for the moment I just wanted to share an example of the kinds of reports that I am creating and also update you that I didn't stop with photography, I just am looking 'beneath the skin' a bit !
