Once upon a time I used to log film, aperture and shutter data as an educational tool. I stopped doing it pretty quickly and never did it again. Nowadays I post "tech info" with my photos to flickr for the benefit of the photo equipment geekery that people like to see, but I strip it from metadata (unless I'm posting an image to answer a metadata question) and never post it to photos I put in my portfolio website. I never look at it on others' photos either. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
