Keep in mind on the drift pic that comparing the front wheel to the rear for motion blur is not even close to relevant, since the rear wheel is spinning maybe 10 to 1 in comparison to the front. What I really like about that pic is the texture of the smoke clinging to the bodywork as it blows past, then the tailpipe sticking out.

Picasaweb doesn't seem to include EXIF info in displayed images, although if you're on the site and browsing someone's album you can get it in the photo details link. Also, if you "download full size" from the options menu while looking at an image, the downloaded JPG has EXIF data. For example, the sidecar image in pic1 was shot with a 30D at 1/400, f:9, 250mm, ISO 100.

So Picasa is doing the EXIF stripping in its display, even though it retains the information. One wonders if it can be made to include that info in shared images in web display.....


And: "smelly." Really?
