    I also remember a photo being removed because the camera's time/date were at the factory default (1980 or something) although the photo obviously had been taken recently, it caused a fair bit of bad feeling and I think that member no longer takes part.

    If someone wants to cheat it's very simple to fiddle with the EXIF and manipulate the date - or just to blank out the data. So I think it comes down to honesty.

      Exif is the data embedded in a digital photo, hidden away it contains things like the date/time, location. You can view it with a simple extension to your browser, so hovering the mouse over a photo pops up the hidden data. I use it mainly to see what camera settings folk use, such as ISO, shutter speed, f stop etc:

      https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/exif-viewer/nafpfdcmppffipmhcpkbplhkoiekndck?hl=en

      It produces a little banner at the top of the photo as below:

        I can get that from the programme I save my photos in. :blue thumb: I just click on 'properties' so when I want to compare how plants have done at the same day each year, I can. :)

        I don't remember setting anything when I got the camera - but I can't remember what I had for breakfast :doh: :heehee:

            I did put up a picture once which i took down after it was pointed out to me by Marley that it wasn't taken in that month, an error on my part as i didn't think at the time, i just thought "that's a good picture" and posted it, but marley was on the case and i had a PM then i took it down, so yes, we need rules and rules to be policed as it is easy to make a mistake, as i did :old:

                See @wiseowl your thread has worked! :blue thumb:

                Nobody reads rules :noidea: so you just need to keep an eye on things and give gentle reminders. Or, if it's me, a slap round the head :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

                  I'm going to have to work out how to set the date and time...hopefully my other half will know how to do it. I did read the rules in the past but didn't know what EXIF data was which put me off entering so I just voted instead. :)
