    If you go to http://regex.info/exif.cgi and in Image URL enter in one of your photos' URL (like http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/9844/dsc02900g.jpg) it will show what camera you took the picture with, and what date/time you took it on and a lot of other details.


    Or, if you're a Firefox user, you could just get this.

    And no, I don't think the forum removes EXIF data in uploaded files - download the file and there it is.

    Speaking of photos, where are yours?  Tongue
    Before it gets too late, you will find escape.

    Oi! Me lotus is about to flower for the first time. This is cool. yes

    Those leaves are standing about two feet clear of the water. First flower should be out for New Year, at which stage more pix will be inflicted upon the innocent. :dance

    Also some ducks (Australian native variety). Ducks are also cool. Tongue

    And those ducks look like they require thought bubbles...

    Well methinks the bud will get quite a bit larger before it opens. Lotus flowers aren't exactly small (like about 8 inches across), so the buds have to be sized accordingly before they open. I expect it to keep growing for a few more days. The stem got several inches taller in the last 24 hours, so it's still on the rampage.

    And speaking of killer bud, I was doing a bit of research on lotuses and water lilies a while back. Turns out they contain various alkaloids, which is why the plants and flowers traditionally had some medicinal uses. That's not why I'm growing them, though. They just look awesome and smell good. )

    Ok, it's out and four more are on the way. Yay! dance

    Gonna have to learn a bit more about settings though. yes

    Btw, this variety is native to Australia and is commonly known as "Paleface".

    Had a kookaburra sitting on the Hills Hoist (clothesline) the other day. Two Australian icons for the price of one. parrot

    If anyone doesn't know what kookaburras sound like, check this vid:

    Kookas are cool. Anyway, pix................

    Also, bloody lotuses again. Grin

    These ones are actually getting somewhere. Good composition and all. Second shot is really good methinks, except that the focus isn't quite right.

    The echidna hasn't been seen for a while. Dunno what happened to him/her. Koalas are a tad hard to spot around here, but I'll get a shot if I see one.

    The same forest, off for a walk Smiley. The light dancing through the trees fascinated me.



    A lovely day at the cove Smiley. Good memories.



    Cold, grey day by the dock before our foray into the dangerous seas, while whalewatching. I liked the dismal mood.
