The results for the 'Triumph' challenge have been recalculated, due to the former blue ribbon shot having a datestamp of 2005. Congratulations to our new 3rd place winner, and PLEASE remember to check your camera datestamps before shooting!
THAT seems really odd.
Either all the D200 shots he's taken are date-stamped wrong, or the D200 has been out a really long time.
Was the camera sent in for repairs lately and the date got messed up? How does a camera's date change?
??
How about if we bump the photo size restrictions by about 15K (i.e. 165K instead of 150K) and then require that EXIF data be included in every challenge submission?
Then the website itself could check for the obvious mistakes and warn people right up front...

But once you've edited the shot and saved it as a jpg, how do you re-insert the EXIF data?
BTW - Do you (goc) have the longest streak of 6+ challenge entries without a ribbon?! My gosh - 23 straight 6+ !!! Impressive. :D
More irrelevant calling out. What difference does Goc's score make? What difference does humming bird guy's scores make? While I think Goc's suspicions are nuts, having high scores is not an indicator of fair or foul play. Seem to remember other high scorers getting the axe...

If you don't use save for web the exif gets saved with the JPG.
BTW, I like the idea, especially coupled with the parsing of EXIF to fill in info fields.

Huh?! I was making a sincere compliment. His streak of consecutive 6's IS impressive, at least to me. Perhaps it was out of context for this thread, but certainly not a "calling out". Just something I noticed and was moved to comment on.
edit - CRUD! I just noticed I had toggled the sort by score (high to low) in the profile page. My bad. So, no "streak" for goc...still some healthy scores in there. :P

nevermind ... i don't have any problems with this or that, i was just wondering about his Street Photography II photo and it's exif data :-) it would be interesting to see ... or maybe not ... :-)
edit: lol, you see ... it is not everything as we see it
Dunno about DSLR's, but I know that I can leave the batteries out of my P&S for ages without resetting date, but NOT indefinitely. After a certain point I guess the time battery is put into shut-down mode too?
I guess we won't know for sure until/unless he tells us what happened :)
The main battery, no. The internal one, yes, but on that new of a camera?
Has anyone had to change their internal camera battery in less than 2 years?
That's the one I meant. Though as someone else mentioned, some cameras don't have a distinct, removable date battery. Or the internal battery could have died, or someone clicked the option, or the camera reset to the factory defaults.
It's obvious no foul play is happening here, just his camera is set wrong and hasn't bothered to correct it, even after getting disqualified the first time. Seems I owe Jeff an apology for jumping to conclusions.
