I think this may cause some anger, but hey-ho...
I only joined recently to give myself some inspiration to take better photos and judging from the posts in the welcome threads, many others are here to learn too.
In my day there were only photo magazines, my favourite was Practical Photography. It had wonderful post produced photos from the darkroom. In those days no-one put camera, lens or settings, that elite photography had to be kept a secret, like the magic circle.
Times have changed but I find it sad that especially those who link to Flickr either hide exif data or deliberately destroy it through exif editing programs.
I have seen Flickr accounts where there is a mixture of normal snaps interspersed with art shots that are professional. The strange thing is that the snaps all have exif data, but the art photos have destroyed, or inserted data by programs like xmp.
For instance, I could scan negs from my dead uncle, who was a pro landscape photographer, but died before Internet publishing. I could then add some exif data and call it my own, but this edit will not be anything like an original photo exif taken yesterday.
This forum has a lot of learners, like myself. Publishers of photos on this site, in my opinion, should be encouraged to show original exif data to help others.
I personally won't comment on, or like photos with no data.
Surely this isn't a forum for the magic circle
