Unfortunately, I had trouble getting the plugin to work when analysing my whole library or even some whole year folders within the library. It seemed to stall on requests above 10,000 images. Insights From My Recent Tripįirst, I took a look the images from my recent trip through Rajasthan (1893 images).īut, I was able to get some interesting results, or at least some confirmation of my habits, when running the plugin on smaller sets of photos.

Maybe that had to do with the harsh lighting conditions under the Rajasthani sun? The plugin confirmed my tendency to create most of my photos in manual mode (55%) and then occasionally in aperture-priorty (43%) but I was surprised to see I used spot metering 70% of the time (I was expecting something closer to 50%). The plugin also showed me that when I use exposure compensation on the camera, I am almost always using negative values and when I process images in Lightroom I’m almost always lowering the exposure level and desaturating the image. Looking at 2013, I was reminded how much I experimented with different cameras last year but also, how I still relied on the (new) D800e for 63% of the images I created. That means an awful lot of lenses on my studio shelf are not getting a lot of loving! Going Back A Little Further What was more surprising though, was that 51% of the images for the year were made with just two lenses, the 50mm f1.4 (27%) and the 105mm f2 (24%). I was curious now to go back a little further, so I analysed images I made in Penang, in 2012, where I remember creating a lot of memorable photos under difficult circumstances. I was really surprised to see I used my 10.5mm f2.8 fisheye lens for 19% of the images from at trip. In fact, I used 50mm or shorter focal lengths for whopping 77% of the images from the week! And, I created 96% of the images in manual exposure mode.
