Can the Exif info be modified?

[Rashkae]

27mm is correct for a 1.5x crop lah.. ;p

Yah.. I think he took someone else's picture and pasted on his existing image.

Anyway, the EXIF time is 6:42am on 9 Aug, I guess the sun is not even out yet.. ;p

Oh yah... Sleepy, my maths are failing.

6:42am?? LOL

could it be just simply paste the airplane image on an existing none related image, so all the Exif info are belong to the airplane image?

That's what I'm thinking. He just pasted the airplane image probably ripped from somewhere into one of his images and saved the file.

More like violating someone's IP. In this circle, claiming someone else's image as your own is a big no-no!! It boils down to ethics.

I totally agree with you, not so much on ethics but being shameless to use other's creations which in this case, it is image.... :thumbsd:

 

[Xiao_shin]

As above, anybody knows? Coz got a photo by a friend, says he took the picture, but it look suspicious...

You are doubting your friend?

 

[AxeLa]

Thks guy for the input.......CS CSI team :thumbsup:

seems like a remarkably common occurance nowadays... which is not good, of course.

When will people mature? Sigh...

When will they stop being people? we are humans. It is within our capability, and hence it is within us, to sin. and sin we do. Although in this case it is slightly (only slightly) less harmless than the kind of IP theft that we have seen recently in CS

with the shutter speed and focus length, maybe he took a photo of a poster? then that would make sense. The noise on the photo (yet ISO 100) is due to the original poster. and since its a poster, 18mm and 1/50 sec is definitely no problem.

Why didnt i think of that, yes it is possible, only thing i can think of is his lighting control must be very good to get a even out exposure for the entire image... :think: should ponder....maybe go back home later try!

 

[ahbian]

It was taken with 18mm lens on a 200 megapixel camera, then cropped 100%.

Hmm... That is quite possible.. Why didn't I think of that.. :think: But still, that's a reproduction of an image which is not his. ;p If he showed the wall, it would be a different story...

 

[phyrewall]

EXIF information can easily be edited. There are tools out there such as OPanda EXIF, etc. that makes this easy.
