interesting program

[herc182]

Here is a FREE download. It tells you all the info about your shots in the form of graphs (aperture, zoom ,iso etc). pretty gimmicky but interesting.

enjoy

It supports .jpg images only.

dont really need all that eye candy to tell me camera settings. o_O

thats a pretty cool program. thanks for posting. :)

i didnt say it was the dogs balls! just said it was interesting to see that i seem to generally shoot at iso 200 and f8! Mostly at the wide end of my lenses too!

glad you enjoyed the randomness too Rooz!

I've used it on occasion. It is interesting to see the statistics.

[Rooz]

here's my top 3 uses for each thing:

focal lengths, (35mm equiv):
44% @ 75mm
20% @ 225mm
9% @ 510mm

iso:
26% @100
19% @ 400
16% @ 200

aperture:
25% @ f4
11% @ f5
9% @ f2

shutter speeds:
19% @ 1/60
16% @ 1/80
12% @ 1/125

reckon i may have got a fair bit of use out of that nifty fifty or what ? lol

that has got to be the best bang for buck lens anywhere surely! i will check what my percantage is when i get home, lightroom tells you that i think anyways...

it would be interesting to see more of those stats see how many people thrash there nifty fifty!

hehe

another interesting gimmick (for flickr)

Nice find on both programs. The first was quite interesting. It seems I use my 10-20 only at 10mm and my 70-300 almost exclusively at 300. The only lens which I use as a zoom is my 17-70.

The second application is also very nice. Nice way to show your flickr gallery. I once used the simpleviewer (by the same company) which is also very nice to create galleries with (but I don't know if it works with flickr).

Thanks for posting.

here are my top 3

80mm - off the chart
120mm - 150times
300mm - 80 times

ISO 200 - 260 times
ISO 400 - off the chart
ISO 800 - 80 times

f/2.8 - off the chart
f/5.6 - 120 times
f/8.0 - 80 times

1/60th - 105 times
1/500th - off the chart
1/400th - 55 times

this is just since i got my d300 i think? most of my d40 pictures got ate up by my computer....

i learned GET A EXTERNAL HARDDRIVE haha

just ran this quickly again to compare between my D80 and D700.

D700
Focal length top two: 50mm and 70mm
Iso: 200 and 500 (although a much wider spread than the D80)
Aperture: 2.8 and 4.0

D80
Focal length top two: 15mm (just...close to 30 and 80) and 50mm
Iso: 100(by far) and 400
Aperture: 2.8 and 9.0

Not a huge difference really :) OK, I am starting to use the high iso's far more and I took a lot more photos on the D80...

With Full Frame though I seem to be favouring that shallower DOF, and ok, I havent been travelling as much with it compared to the D80 (i.e. less landscape shots with greater DOF).

The reason I actually did this was because I was toying with the idea of getting an extreme wide angle. Before doing so I wanted to check how often I actually used it before I got the D700. Turns out I used my Sigma 10-20 A LOT (and do miss it sorely).

Aiming for a sigma 12-24 (even though its sharpness blah blah) not amazing. Its lighter than the other equivalents, cheaper, and wider (more creative). Been stalking some on ebay for half price of a new one, so will keep waiting.

And Yes, I have had a little free time of late :D

You've got me doing it now. I just went through 21,736 image files.

Focal length;

17.55% = 80mm
11.81% = 300mm
5.82% = 110mm

ISO

43.95% = 200
36.98% = 400
10.58% = 800
and a surprising
3.63% = 1600

Aperture

21.74% = 5.6
16.75% = 8.0
9.65% = 6.3

Edited and redone from before

I just realized you can filter by camera, so this is with the D40:

Focal length:
27mm = 28.19%
80mm = 24.1%
50mm = 19.6%

ISO
200 = 53.59%
800 = 16.96%
1600 = 14.88%
400 = 7.25%
