"Waters Forgotten"

I've been fortunate to make a number of solitary journeys by motorcycle to many different places, and have always been fascinated and even humbled by the many things I have seen. One of the most memorable was a decaying freighter washed up many years ago. Her survey long since completed she now slowly decays, but with each wave that rushes on shore, she returns to the water she once so proudly sailed.

I use imageevent for hosting and the EXIF data is available in the imageevent library for each photo. However, using the firefox extension to view the EXIF nothing is shown.

Thoughts?

so you're saying you see the EXIF in imageevent but not with FXIF? I have seen where the FXIF is blank but EXIF info is in place... I think its a bug. Usually to make sure the file has EXIF info I right-click in Windows -> Properties -> Summary -> Advanced. FXIF does not always work.

If you host the original image to a site with the exif, but link to the image at another size, the exif will not convey. This happens when hosting at flickr, but i don't know about other sites.

I don't know. I have seen where it's appeared blank on a imageshack-hosted file, and then I checked back later and it was there. Once I posted on AZ saying the EXIF had been stripped (because I checked it on FXIF) and someone posted saying no, it was there. Weird. Blasted EXIF.

i guess i should jump on the bandwagon, and just throw a picture in here

silhouette


kauai's east coast line, in kapaa. Taken around 11pm, on a completely dark beach. I don't know if the EXIF data is still there, but I believe it was 10 or 15 sec exposure. I believe it was an almost full moon that night too. subject is my brother.



p.s. awesome picture yohan

It's amazing the colors a camera can pick up with with long exposures.

That said, something still doesn't seem right. Mainly the waves. With a long exposure on the ocean, I would expect the water to be more of a blur.

Doesn't it turn out pretty much like daylight once you adjust the color temperature?

The sky doesn't even actually look gray by the Moon at night. It looks black. The Moon is so much brighter than anything else that your vision compensates for it and subsequently lets the sky fall to black. Your eyes do occasionally pick up gray sky in the vicinity of the Moon but that is Moonlight either reflecting off of clouds or being scattered by water vapor in the air.

The blue nature of the sky will be picked up by Moonlight when cameras are doing long-ish exposures. Our eyes never see it because they percieve little to no color at all in near-dark conditions. Cameras OTOH are capable of registering the sky color under conditions that the human eye does not pass color information to our brain.

The movie Baraka has several time lapse shots of the Moon traversing the sky in which you can clearly see the blue color.
