I was wondering if the forum engine has a feature to extract and display exif details for every photo submitted on forums? This feature would be very useful in providing the reader with the knowledge of how the photo was taken. I am a learner and am always trying to figure out what settings photographers used when they take photos. Just a thought.

you may find that the exif info is not as helpful as you think - different cameras will have different DoF's for the same aperture depending on lens factor - so make sure if reading EXIF that it is the same camera as yours, and remember the lens focal length is important for DoF.

also if someone uses photoshop and uses the save for web option then the EXIF info is removed from the file and will not be displayed.
also cropping the photo seems to have an impact on EXIF
