Well, I have my nefarious (but not selfish) reasons. And you'd never stoop to such things. :angel: Well, unless you were paid in guitar picks and developing supplies, eh? :thumbup:What's wrong with posting metadata? I've learned a lot by looking at other people's files.
Stripping it out just seems kinda selfish to me. But what do I know? I don't even get paid to shill for Flickr.
Could you explain those reasons? I honestly don't understand why you would need to hide that information on photos posted to Flickr. Is someone paying you to hide your EXIF data? Why?Well, I have my nefarious (but not selfish) reasons. And you'd never stoop to such things. :angel: Well, unless you were paid in guitar picks and developing supplies, eh? :thumbup:
No big deal, I just use a variety of cameras, and occasionally shoot with one or another that might belong to one of my sons. I used to get all sorts of questions about the cameras or the lenses versus the images, or comments like, "oh new camera, I wish I was wealthy so I could by one... you're so lucky", from random people. So I just started not allowing that info to be seen. Here, by contrast, I post in the specific forum thread, and include all the info. Different group of people here, so I don't mind.Could you explain those reasons? I honestly don't understand why you would need to hide that information on photos posted to Flickr. Is someone paying you to hide your EXIF data? Why?
I haven't done any pro work since I went digital, so I'm ignorant of any reasons to hide that data.
And you know, if a client asked me to, I'd strongly resist it, or just not post the stuff to Flickr, I guess.
Nice shots. The color is great!Got my first test shots taken with my newly acquired Mamiya C330F, and so far I'm very pleased. I thought the shutter may be one stop slow, and the photos are a tad overexposed based on using my iPhone to meter the scene, but it's manageable. I'm very happy with the results!

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback! I hadn't used that film before, so I wasn't sure what I was going to get. I got the cheapest slow film I could find for these test shots, and I didn't spend a lot of time composing as I normally do. I'm also thinking I'll definitely need to get the 55 lens to get the wider shots. That, and at least some form of portable support I can take with me.Nice shots. The color is great!
Scott: Looks like you're having fun. Nice photos. The IQ certainly seems good.Some more pics from my first roll through my Contax G2

Dragos: Nicely done! I had to google that camera. Looks very cool. You probably get some looks when your shooting with it.Thank you! I appreciate the feedback!

Thanks, Matt! I did get some looks and comments, but I think for the most part people didn't understand what they were looking at. Got smiles from the older crowd, got confused looks from the younger crowd. It's all good =).Dragos: Nicely done! I had to google that camera. Looks very cool.

Maggie: Thanks. Kodak Tri-X Pan. I'm behind on my metadata bookkeeping.Cool photos, Matt! Were they shot on Plus-X?
Scott: Thanks. They were all in a box in a dark place for a long time.Matt, amazing pics, I am impressed and amazed that you still have the negs from back in the day.
I was cleaning the house over the weekend (a rarity) and came across a box full of photos from my days bike racing in Italy, circa 1999 or so. Including a box of slides....and I have never shot slides in my life! No idea who shot them or what the camera was, or even how I got them, it must have been one of my teammates.
But sure enough they are me, doing a training ride up the Monte Grappa, an absolute brute of a climb of around 15 miles, that was included in this years Tour of Italy.
Believe me, it is not blurred because of my speed, I was never a climber, more of a diesel on the long climbs like this
It was always completely different weather at the top, usually covered in cold fog like this.
Damn I miss that place!:thumbs:
Kewl stuff Scott. I've always love the Mamiya 6 (and 7)... sharp, sharp lenses, great form factor, rangefinder, and amazing MF negs. Looking forward to more.My friend from Florida sent me her Mamiya 6 to play with. Unfortunately she didn't send me her Coolscan 9000 along with it, so here are some pretty unsharp scans from my V750. Some are fairly bleak, which fits my mood these days, so sorry about that...
By the way Dragos, this is all your fault!
Overall I really like the camera, and medium format film is like a giant oversized cartoon version compared to 35mm. Watching those huge negatives hanging up to dry is mesmerizing.
My hesitation is that these shots don't really look like film, to me at least. Maybe it is the smooth and unsharp scans, dunno, but what draws me to 35mm film is that it looks like...film! Not so sure about MF yet.
