Would it be fair to assume that if you shoot on film, you don't have EXIF information, whatever that is?

[Camera lucida]

What happens to the EXIF information when the photo is resized?
Is it still visible with the resized shot and if so, how does one access this?

nope stays the same, but for this event the site wants the original no re-size needed.

[Adam]

Uploads for the event are now open, and will remain open for the following two weeks. However, please keep in mind that all photos must be taken on October 11th, 2008, from midnight to midnight, in your timezone.

I have increased the size limit for this contest to 2Mb per individual photo. Each member may upload up to 3!

Enjoy!

It may seem like a silly question, but how do you find out if the EXIF data is still intact.

[Adam]

If you're running Windows, right-click the file and view its properties. There should be a tab for image information- if you can still see information such as shutter speed and aperture, the EXIF data should be intact.
