Posting Photos to Facebook??? The Internet???

 

Did you know that ...

Before you post any photos to the internet or Facebook, or for that matter even email a photo you may want to read this.

Do you know that when you take a photo with a cell phone the photo often has the location the photo was shot at? The same is true if you shot the photo with a camera that contains a GPS chip like cell phones have.

Did you know that when you shoot a photo the serial number of your cell phone or camera might be hidden in the photo? So the photo could be traced back to the camera.

Did you know that when you shoot a photo the date and time the photo was shot at may be might be hidden in the photo?

Did you know that any time you edit a photo that the date and time you made changes may be included in the photo? Same for the name of the tool that you used to edit the photo with.

Did you know that when you shoot a photo, all of the camera setting you used might also be included in the photo?

Yes ALL of that information can be in you photos

Yes, when you shoot a photo with your camera or your cell phone all of that information may be included in the photos you take.

And if that information is included in one of your photos anybody that wants to can view all the information with tools that are on the internet.

Meta Data in your photos

One word for the secret data that is included in photos you take is "meta data". And anybody can read that "meta data" and find out a lot of information about any photo you shot.

Websites to view meta data in your photos

There are lots of websites that have tools to display the meta data in your photos.

Caution, before using any website to view the meta data in a photo of yours remember, they will have a copy of your photo and the meta data in your photo, if you ask them to run their software against the photo to display the meta data in the photo.

And you never knows who owns that website.

Do the local cops own the site that is displaying the meta data.

Does the CIA or NSA own the site that is displaying the meta data.

This is one site I have found on the web to display the meta data in photos. I must admit I just use the site and I have no idea who owns it. For all I know it could be owned by the government.

http://regex.info/exif.cgi
You upload one of your photos to this website and it will tell you what meta data your photo contains.

Of course remember if you do that, the folks that run the website now have a copy of your photo and all the meta data it contains.

You can also give the website a URL of a photo on the internet and it will grab that photo and tell you all the meta data in that photo.

A URL of a photo looks something like this

http://bureaucrats.100webspace.net/images_gps/a_gps_012.jpg
And the above url is for the following photo:
 
 

Here is a second photo which I will used in the examples.

 
  The URL of the second photo is:
http://bureaucrats.100webspace.net/images_news/dontshootme_01.jpg

Getting the URL of a photo or image

You can get the URL of a photo or image on a web page by right clicking on the image.

In Mozilla FireFox after right clicking on the image select "view image info" and a window will pop up with the URL of the image.

In Internet Explorer after right clicking on the image select "properties" and a window will pop up with the URL of the image.

In Google Chrome after right clicking on the image select "Copy Image URL" and the image will be copied into your buffer and you can paste it with CNTL/V.

Example 1 - List meta data from an image

Now lets dump out the meta information about the first photo, which is:
 
  It was shot with my cell phone camera. This photo contains GPS information in it.

Now if you go to this URL which is

http://regex.info/exif.cgi
and is used to extract meta data from photos and plug in the address of this photo which is:
