Your photography is fantastic - I'm wanting to take the family to Japan now.

The first number is obviously not correct, since the camera is not that old. Each subsequent photo increases the top number by 65536 (64k) but the second number stays the same. (4608) Camera is a Nikon D3. Any ideas what the actual shutter count is? Thanks for your input. <span class='jfriedl'>The D3 is supposed to have a great shutter, but 64k shutter actuations for each photo does seem a tad excessive. Would you mind setting the camera to small basic JPG, take two shots, and mail them to me? If it's not an error in my display stuff, I'll pass them along to the Exiftool author for his inspection. —Jeffrey</span> When I check shutter count the number is 38,207,488 but there is another shutter count listed directly below it which is 4608.

Is it impossible tp modify the EXIF data so as to place GPS data? I shot attached to a GPS at the start of a shooting but then disconnected the GPS (too ackward) and took many more without the GPS but all in about the same location... Seems to me a low level program should be able to modify the EXIF or is there some additional protection of the raw file? Thanks, Juan <span class='jfriedl'>Exiftool will write the Exif data of many raw file formats, if you really want to. —Jeffrey</span> Hi!

Very useful and makes the work flow so much easier when outputting to websites. I took the liberty of also sharing the find with my own blog readers. Included some screen grabs and a little feedback on the plugin for Flickr (positive, so don't worry...) Hope you enjoy! :) Can’t believe I didn’t know about your Lightroom plugins before.

I told you before that the list is about software engineering topics, and not about specific technologies. However, the book simply kept popping up in numerous searches and references. And I considered that regular expressions are actually not a technology but an (interpreted or compiled) technique or notation, just like UML, and useful for any software engineer, regardless of the type of application. So I relented, and Jeffrey got his #18 slot on the list. In my mind, this indicates a recognition that the regex (and pattern matching) is acknowledged to be a very useful DSL and you wrote the book! I consider myself an evangelist for regex and I'm always surprised how ignorant many developers are of them.

I use your SmugMug plug-in all the time, and am amazed at how easy, flexible and reliable it is. All plug-ins should be like this. We have just (14 days ago) had our first daughter, and your work makes our lives much easier while we struggle to keep up with the addition of diapers and feedings to our already hectic schedules of RAW files, Lightroom and uploads! Again, big thanks from Washington, DC. Hey Jeffrey,
