Resource Friday Follow Up: EXIF Data

I realized that unlike the book I could actually use this format to show you what kind of things could be hidden within a photo using EXIF Data. You'll want to do this on a desktop. It is difficult to do on a phone or tablet.

So, here is a photo.

First, isolate the image to get the URL of only the image (Depending on what system you’re using, select the image URL by clicking one these:

• Chrome: Copy image URL
• Safari: Copy image address
• Internet Explorer: Properties > Copy the URL address shown
• Firefox: Copy image location

Just in case you have trouble with that here is the URL: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimgsKwbDenpbNzBrLOd4AUm9tqmvNuorFI-azxG7O0gqTJsFtFNVc1BPtBy4VpuYG2S-_Lj7Pvz7wKxWkkgD3ZrsVudzt0JMaoceZ6vtJa_e0JZPcFcDBSJxyggGoa84QjmVqsWRqQsbY/s1600/Wagon+Wheel+Exif+Test.jpg 

Then go to the EXIF Viewer I gave you earlier today (http://regex.info/exif.cgi) and paste that URL into the box at the top. Google strips away some of the EXIF when I post it here, but there are still a few pieces of info in there to discover. 

Now you should have a better idea of what you are looking for when you check the EXIF data for a photo.
