Perhaps 3 foot is a small slug where Rob lives...

Good picture. When I try something like that, it's usually spoiled by dirt on the window...

Wow!!! 3 or 4 staying for 3 or 4 minutes is the norm round here.

A winter gathering?

It works for me too (Windows 8.1), for JPEG but not for DNG. So it deals with those situations where I'm taking JPEG record shots and the date is important - probably about 90% of the situations where I'd want to change Exif data.

PhotoME can change Exif for DNG files, but only one file a a time. So I'm still looking for a (free) way of batch changing DNGs.

Well spotted, well taken.

The RSPB website here explains what seems to be going on in your set - and it's stranger than you might think.... And as the website says, "And it's all going on in your shrubbery..." .

Thanks. Will try it out after domestic duties are finished today. Who'd have thought that Windows might actually be helpful with this!

Can anyone recommend a free, simple program for changing Exif data for a set of files. Must run in batch mode on a Windows PC.

I've just had to change the date of about 80 files. The ancient version of PhotoME that I've got for viewing and changing Exif data can only do one file at a time, so doing all 80 took ages, not to mention being incredibly boring. Unfortunately, the same thing is likely to be needed again some time thanks to the Q losing date and time when its battery is changed.

Be careful about making the seat stand out more - it could lose that misty, merging into the surroundings/nature about to envelope you feel that it currently has. I rather like it as it is .

Thanks, Rob. I'd almost come to the same conclusion myself re macro but thought it worth asking in case I was missing something obvious. What made me think of the question was the last picture in your set, wondering whether a bit of tilt would have got the full length of the stem in focus as well as the flowers. Whether that's aesthetically desirable is, of course, an entirely different matter!

Lovely. They have that LennyBloke feel, which just shows (yet again) that it's the person not the camera that counts.

But taking that thought further, was the true value of the GRIII here not so much the quality of the pictures it can take but in its size persuading you to slip it into the rucksack in the first place?
