The discussion on my earlier post asking whether people wanted to see EXIF data or not was interesting, but no clear conclusion emerged. Many felt – and I tend to agree – that the posts are generally more about the photographs as images than about the photographs as technical exercises. However, quite a few – even some who don’t want the viewing experience interrupted by technical stuff – did say that there are at least times when they are interested in knowing about some of these matters.

With this in mind, I have added a small plugin to the site that will display very basic EXIF data if you mouse over images in posts. Move your mouse over one of them and you should see the basics: camera model, aperture, ISO, focal length and so forth.

This plugin seems like a reasonable compromise until I (or someone else?) can find something even better. Let me know if it works for you. And, as always, if you want to know more about a photograph just leave a comment and I’ll try to reply – and I’m happy to try to respond to the wide range of possible questions, not just the technical issues.
