Digital Home Thoughts: Analyze EXIF Data With ExposurePlot

"Although I use ACDSee Pro to manage my images and conduct key word search, etc., it doesn't allow for an easy way to view statistics on EXIF data accross all my images. I'm considering new lenses for my 5d, and anted to see how often I use certain focal lengths based on thousands of images on my hard drive. So....I found this nifty little FREE utility called Exposure Plot. It scans all your images (.jpg only) and creates all sorts of useful statistics based on EXIF data...So, what did I learn? The program anazlyed about 7,000 images (took about 2-3 minutes, fyi). I learned that over half of my shots were taken at 80mm (considering the 1.6x factor). That makes sense, since my 50mm 1.4 is used for so many portraits and kid shots. Overall, the vast majority of my shots were made at the 35mm equivalent of between 45mm and 144mm."

If you're curious about what sorts of exposures and focal lengths you use when taking photos, this program will transform the raw data into charts that will help you visualize the results.
