Default Camera type/settings in write-up?

I think everyone should put what kind of camera they are using in thier write-ups also. We share everything else about the job! It'll give us an idea to the quality of the camera in our direct field of use.

I shoot with a Nikon D80. I shoot in Aperture mode and just adjust the exposure accordingly. Nothing special!!

Unfortunately, a lot of photo hosts (not all, though) strip the EXIF data.

04COBRA's photos don't have it.

Anything I have put up also is missing the info.

The difference between good shots and great slots is often just the exposure. With digital, you do not know how much Photoshop has been done either. Great shots usually have contrast to make them pop and this can be added later with the unsharp mask and other contrast tweaks.

My tip is just pay attention to the exposure by knowing how your camera reads light (spot, average, weighted) and bracket your exposures (take multiple with various exposure settings). No need to worry about wasted bytes.
