Preserve EXIF

I had some time to spare today so, i decided to sort the images i took this year. Not many … but still it took me some time. While sorting them i decided to play with some of them . Nothing important but at the end the EXIF data was missing. Seems that some of the tools don’t preserve the EXIF data.

Looking in the internet i found a command line tool (exiftool-k) which did what i needed. Syntax is easy:

exiftool -tagsfromfile file1.jpg file2.jpg

If you have multiple files for batch processing use:

exiftool -tagsfromfile %f.jpg -ext jpg dirName

In current dir you should have the source files and in dirName the files (in this case with extension .jpg) missing the EXIF data.

One day of summer

Amazing day yesterday. After a long winter spring is here and, in the middle of the spring, we had a summer day with 28C. A little windy but it didn’t stop me to take the camera and take some pictures from the Clock Tower in Montreal Old Port.

Real Super Humans

I’ve seen something amazing today on Discovery Channel.
It was a show: Real Super Humans … and i’ve seen this guy, almost naked, wearing only a short, no shoes, nothing else, running a half-marathon (21km) somewhere in Finland above Arctic Circle.

Amazing.

And that’s not the only thing he did:
- with only a swimsuit he has the Guinness World Record for swimming 80m under ice.
- he also has a Guinness World Record for staying 1h 13min immersed under the ice.
- according to wikipedia he tried but failed to climb Mount Everest, of course, in shorts only but still he climbed Mont Blanc while he was training for Everest.

Super Humans?
Makes you think … X-Men?
