This falls uneasily between two stools for me. For a photography-focused space, it doesn't have anything like the wealth of photography tools and data that Flickr does (or even just EXIF). For a community space, it doesn't have bookmarking or nudging or sufficient interaction beyond comments to make that work for me either.
Both those things can be secondary if it's exposing you to great new work and new trends in photography, but the onboarding didn't bode well on that front: of all the photographers it suggested I follow there was one woman and one non-white person in the mix. That's not a slam dunk on their work but it did turn out (from what I can see) to all be in a very similar sort of "late-millennial white man with a mirrorless" niche.
- sib 5y agoIt shows a limited subset of the EXIF (camera, ISO, focal length, aperture, shutter speed) - although I notice that not all images have the data, so I don't know whether it's stripped by the person uploading it or somewhere in some version of their pipeline. My images (exported from Lightroom, moved to phone via AirDrop, uploaded via the Glass app) all have the metadata intact.
- perardi 5y agoLightroom (or at least Lightroom Classic) defaults to embedding all metadata, but it’s exposed fairly prominently in the Export dialog, so I suppose people turn it off to, I dunno, hide their secret sauce.
- sib 5y agoSorry, I meant that "my images ... still have their basic metadata intact ... when they get to Glass" (so Glass is not trying to remove it).
- mkr-hn 5y agoEven one (1) queer dude would do. I'd hop right on if I saw a professional fursuit photographer on there, for example.
