Awesome! I tried that once when the monthly theme was go green, but they did not turn out even close to being this cool! Great job. #612049John Pover February 27, 2007
Thanks for the comments Rachel. What this shot doesn't show are the heaps of frames before this one that were a right mess! Great fun to do, but frustratingly difficult to get the shapes right. #3999653Rachel McKinnie March 23, 2007

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
