Http exif regex info down html
|
Since I'm getting more interested in photography and understanding cameras and techniques, I find myself wanting to know the details under which a photo was taken. Modern digital cameras encode a lot of such data — shutter speed, lens focal length, etc. — into the image file, generally called “Exif Data” (“Exif” stands for “Exchangeable Image File Format” and as an acronym would normally be written as “EXIF”, but the standard creators explicitly say that it should be written “Exif”, which is nice.). So, I wrote a little online Exif viewer to view whatever data might be encoded. Here's a screenshot using the viewer on a picture from a recent post:
 That's just the summary — you can see the full data using the tool itself. The amount of data encoded in the image is quite variable. Many times there's just about nothing, as the data is stripped somewhere along the way. Here's a version of the previous picture with most data missing. It's missing because it's a smaller version that's meant for web display, and for such use the data just makes the file bigger and slower to download. Geoencoded photos get links in the summary area to Google Maps and the like, and below that is an embedded Google Maps pane. With either, you can switch between Satellite and Map, and zoom, etc.. You can also check images on your local hard drive — images directly from a camera generally have the most information. Give it a try! If you're using Firefox or Safari, you have the added benefit that you can install an Exif-viewer button on your button-bar toolbar. Once you've done that, later, when you're viewing a page with an image you want to check out, just click the button and you'll be whisked to a new tab showing the image's data. I find this really useful. It doesn't work in IE, though, sorry. I use the viewer a lot on images I see in the Digital Photography Review Samples and Galleries forum. Lots of nice pictures in there. Many have their Exif data stripped, but many do not. Finally, I should note that my viewer makes use of Phil Harvey's most excellent Image::ExifTool library. Thanks Phil! What is EXIF data?EXIF is short for Exchangeable Image File, a format that is a standard for storing interchange information in digital photography image files using JPEG compression. Almost all new digital cameras use the EXIF annotation, storing information on the image such as shutter speed, exposure compensation, F number, what metering system was used, if a flash was used, ISO number, date and time the image was taken, whitebalance, auxiliary lenses that were used and resolution. Some images may even store GPS information so you can easily see where the images were taken! EXIFdata.com is an online applicatation that lets you take a deeper look at your favorite images!

discontinued? Whenever I try to open the website it says the viewer is unavailable at this time. It's been saying that for about the last week or so (maybe longer). May 29, 2022 14:52:51 # I use Firefox for browsing. Within
it, I use Alan Raskin's EXIF viewer. It's a simple right-click on the image and a table opens up with the EXIF information if it's available. Saves having to download the image, etc. EdJ0307 wrote: Does anyone know if this EXIF viewer has been discontinued? Whenever I try to open the website it says the viewer is unavailable at this time.

If I recall correctly, Jeffrey posted a notice on that app that it would continue until internet constraints got too much. I'd guess he's running up against his ISP bandwidth limits.

For the popularity (worldwide), it must be costing him a small fortune in bandwidth surcharges! May 30, 2022 01:38:26 # Jeffrey's EXIF viewer has been my go-to online viewer for many years. But all good things end... eventually. May 30, 2022 07:08:17 # EdJ0307 wrote: Does anyone know if this EXIF viewer has been discontinued?

There are number of good free Exif viewers available on Mac App store, e.g. File Viewer etc. May 30, 2022 07:42:03 # Longshadow wrote: For the popularity (worldwide), it must be costing him a small fortune in bandwidth surcharges! Just before it went offline, the site hint at sending in a donation. Sometimes I like seeing what equipment took a photo & the settings but.. can live without it.

One can also view any IPTC info that has been added there also. --Richard Jun 1, 2022 08:58:03 # profbowman wrote: On a Windows PC of any version, download and install IrfanView. It's free.

I've recently had different apps indicate that the shutter count is not provided by my cameras. If you want to reply, then register here.
