PAD 100 - Lady of the Woods

[Mike Farley]

Day 100 and I can hardly believe that I have got here! I had the idea for this image when out with Nina and Wally on Monday, but it was not possible to do it justice on that occasion and I went back to the woods this morning. Much to my surprise, the sun was shining and it was even warm! The title of this image derives from the colloquial name given to silver birches which have branches hanging down like this.

Well done! Some interesting stats you have there too, I'll need to try to dig out/estimate similar ones for myself

I got most of the info from Lightroom, so it took a matter of moments to compile. I did think about doing a breakdown of cameras and lenses used, but that would have been taking it too far.

lol that's exactly what I've done so far, even down to number of shots at each aperture, mono/colour breakdown, general subject matter etc.

I'm a stats junkie and proud of it!

[Mike Farley]

You could do that in Lightroom, but to get the stats about aperture, subject matter and colour/mono you would need to add the information manually as that goes beyond the metadata which is captured and tracked automatically.

500px captures it so I'm just using that. Surprises me that Lightroom doesn't store it considering it's in the exif already?

There's some LR plugins related to stats/metadata here: http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies

Haven't used any of them myself, but Data Explorer sounds like it might help give better stats than native LR does.

It captures exposure details, but does not use that info for tracking. So I can find images taken with a particular camera, lens or combination of the two, but not for details such as shutter speed or exposure. I'm not sure why I would want to, unless I was looking for examples to illustrate a technical point. I enter subject matter when I download from the card, so that is straightforward. That is how I was able to find the image of Dungeness I have just added to the Outings post.

Another infrared moment. Very nice.
