  • Hi, interesting post! Would you be able to share your data set? I’m interested in correlating popularity on photo sites vs camera and settings.

    Great idea …. I will enjoy it … It will enable me to consult photos by camera model , lens type and see photos with the metadata…

    As a futur improovement it would be fantastic to also see where the photo was taken and also have a link in google maps

    Great work ….. Thanks

    Hi

    When you take into account the 100 billions photos that are annually posted on Instagram, maybe we will have a more correct picture of “the World of Photography”, except if you consider that taking photos with a smartphone is not part of the World of Photography.

  • Awesome site, I’m learning so much about my camera and what each lens does. Thank you!!!

    Is it possible to share the raw data to down in order to understand the distribution of lens features. For example, if I want to buy a new lens, and I can base on focal length and F number distribution data to select suitable lens. Thanks.
