Simon Rules!

We finally rounded up all of our wedding photos, and they all came out beautifully. I’ve also started work on a new online photo gallery tool, tentatively called “Snaps”. You can see the pics here.

One thing I love about digital cameras is that almost all tag pictures with EXIF data, which contains the date and time each photo was taken, along with the focal length, ISO, shutter speed and other information. In the future when cameras are available with GPS, the precise location will be tagged too. That will have the added effect of tagging each photo with the correct date and time. What I noticed from the wedding photos given to us is that only one person out of five who sent me photos had the correct date and time programmed into their camera. Two of those were from different time zones, and one person had got confused between 12 hour and 24 hour formats. Another had probably forgotten to change the clock for daylight savings time. It wasn’t a big deal because I corrected all the times with a nifty utility called PhotoInfo, because I like looking at all my photos in chronological order.
