Hi satyajeetkelkar,

A warm welcome to the CameraLabs forums.

I took the liberty of editing your post and replacing "[url=http://picasaweb.google.com/satyajeetkelkar/UntitledAlbum/photo?authkey=q9l9mdjFVI8#5137883630822833986][/img]"
so that the image displayed correctly together with the hyperlink. Click the Edit button in your post to see how I did this. Getting URLs and Images to display properly takes a bit of practice (it did for me anyway!) so it's worth having a look at the BBCode Guide
( http://www.cameralabs.com/forum/faq.php?mode=bbcode ) when you have time.

Nice picture. I see from the EXIF data you used an Olympus SP510UZ. Did you use any sort of "accessory" lens to get that close to the subject?

Bob.

Nice picture satyajeetkelkar. I like the reflection you got in the eye.

Hmmm, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. The hyperlink behind the image still works but I have also added it as a straight URL so that if the image doesn't load then members can easily click the link.

The image location is "http://lh3.google.com/satyajeetkelkar/R01t8Mh9P0I/AAAAAAAAAsQ/hZ5MNGriins/treefrog1.JPG". Has anybody got any advice about linking to photos hosted on "picasaweb.google.com" to help prevent this issue in the future?

Bob.

Well Bob. The image location you posted last worked quick. The additional link in the first post is still very slugish and the embedded pic won't load for me.
So why not replace the adress in the first post with your latest link?

That is no good:

Welcome!

Seems to be working now. Nice photo. What camera and lens were you using? How close did the frog allow you to get?

hello Bob,
I don't know what is EXIF data, but the camera used was Sony cybershot DSC H2; not Olympus SP510UZ. I did not use any acceceries. just got closer to the frog. around a foot and half apart from it.

Regards
Satyajeet

EXIF or Exchangeable image file format (pdf file) data is appended to each image by most cameras. Here's the "basic" EXIF data extracted from the photograph:

Exif IFD0


• Camera Make = OLYMPUS IMAGING CORP.
• Camera Model = SP510UZ
• Picture Orientation = normal (1)
• Last Modified Date/Time = 2006:12:31 12:42:55
  
  Exif Sub IFD
  
• Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 10/1600 second = 0.00625 second
• Lens F-Number/F-Stop = 32/10 = F3.20
• ISO Speed Ratings = 257
• Original Date/Time = 2006:12:31 12:42:55
• Flash = Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode
• Focal Length = 109/10 mm = 10.90 mm
• Image Width = 2048 pixels
• Image Height = 1536 pixels

This shows that the picture was taken on New Year's Eve 11 months ago with an SP510UZ. Did you use any image processing software? I'm confused.

Great work not scaring the frog away.

Bob.

the rest of the details are perfectly all right. and the image wasn't processed at all. just resized using ms paint. i do have an SP510UZ but i assumed i used my h2 in my goa trip.

Hi satyajeetkelkar,

Not a problem. A number of image editing/viewing programs allow you to read EXIF data and there are also some standalone programs out there to do the same thing. Check out the results of this Google search but, as always, be sure to check any downloads for malware before you run them.

If you use the Firefox browser there are also add-ons available to do the same job. I currently use Exif Viewer.

Looking forward to some more photos if you would like to share.

Bob.
