Step Falls
« on: July 04, 2010, 04:13:32 PM »
Took a walk at Old Stone Fort Park and took pics of all three falls.  I liked this one best (Step Falls).  Not the tallest there but for some reason, I was drawn to it.

Very nice shot indeed, I love that shot.  Pretty amazing  natural creation.  Way cool!

Shot with a Canon EOS Rebel T2i, 18mm focal length, 1/30, F13, ISO 100, auto mode!

I've noticed that, it reports 'auto mode' for almost everything. I set it shutter priority and guess it would be considered auto mode.  Oh yeah, I cropped it some in PS at home.  New camera for me so I'm still learning all the ins and outs of it.  Leo, What do you use to read the EXIF metadata?, Lightroom? I've use a freeware called photome, also removes exif if you wish.

The one I used to read it was Opanda IExif.  It is a plug in for IE8 and works like a champ, it too has edit capability and quite a few features that I would never use.  I like it because I can view most images and see what they used to get that shot.  If picture has been PP'd in some software, it won't read the EXIF though. Its really wierd when you view an HDR and try to figure it out.

I checked out Opanda IExif.  Very sharp.  Nice not having to manually open a program to view the exif.

Yep, thats what I like about it, firm believer in K.I.S.S. when it comes to this computer stuff.

I picked up an HDR software too, going to give that a try with some shots, see what it will do.  It will probably be like a lot of the softwares I have found so far, really good at one thing, but overall lacks a lot of things I would like it to do.

I've been doing some checking and shot several pics in manual mode but exif says it was shot in auto mode, have you run into that at all?

No I haven't.  Mine usually is right on for the mode, but what it does do is to show my 70-210 as 75mm which is wierd.  What PP software are you using?  That might be the starting point to find out what is going on.   It has to be in the software or in the menu selection mode on the canon.

Most of the time I try to setup so to reduce any PP at all.  Most of the time all I do is crop to accent a certain section.  Waterfall was such a case.  I've updated my camera software and it seemed to have corrected the mis reporting of shooting mode.
