I wish people would put camera settings/gear with their pictures... Just saying... So very many great shots recently. Hard to pick a favorite!
I agree. I see these fantastic photos and it would be really nice to see what gear was used ( though we all know it's not necessarily the gear that made the photo possible or great).

Exactly! I am more interested in lens, ISO, aperture, shutter speed... It's how I learn.
Not all photos have them, but some still have EXIF intact. That last model shot:
Date Time Original 2012-11-28 17:04:33
Exposure Time 1/250
F Number f / 8
Exposure Program Manual
ISO Speed Ratings 100
Metering Mode Pattern
Flash Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode
Focal Length 70mm
White Balance Manual white balance
Make NIKON CORPORATION
Model NIKON D800
Settings maybe a factor with long exposures and such but I wouldn't worry about knowing what body & lens was used, it really doesn't matter.
Knowing what filters were used can be a plus though.
Shot in 2002 and this series were on the same roll of Kodak E6 film. No photoshopping, no cropping, no tone / colour adjustments as the scanner is calibrated using IT8.7 targets. Using the Silverfast Ai 6 makes the Nikon LS40 scanner perform as it were a more expensive scanner, especially when IT8.7 calibrated. Cheers.

Oh I love to see what body or more importantly, which lens was used. They all have their own personality. It is the settings that isn't really of any value unless you are newer trying to gauge about what settings a person might use to achieve a certain shot, granted star trail photography and images that are stacked can really leave a person guessing.
Sometimes I see a shot so razor sharp that I just have to know what lenses are capable of such high amounts of sharpness. LMT's last post is a good example of that. A lot of people write off Tamron lenses, but the 60mm he is using is effing sharp and I never would have guessed that.

This is what I am getting at. If I see some shots of a lens that are just blowing me out of the water, I want to know what it is. As far as settings go, I want to know as I am one of those beginners in many respects.
