Why do all the images in this article have wrong/fake EXIF?
(Well, not all; it looks like that they copied the EXIF of the first image (which has the matching EXIF Image description of "Egg yolk in wooden spoon on eggs. Close up.", together with all the other camera/lens info) to all the other images for some reason. Nothing serious, but weird practice nevertheless.)
- aendruk 5y agoI’m curious to learn how you ran across this. A browser extension that surfaces the data? Or do you regularly go around downloading and inspecting images as you read?
- thrdbndndn 5y agoYeah, I use an extension [1] that shows EXIF data on hover. Very handy.

(there are lots more advanced ones on Chrome store / AMO, but this works for me.)
- b0ner_t0ner 5y agoMy guess is the intern who saved the photos wanted to make them the same dimensions copy and pasted all subsequent photos onto/from the first photo exporting from that; that's why the captions are the same for the rest of the photos. Edit: and also notice the file names as in-article-eggyolks#.jpg which confirms my theory somebody saving over the original photo.
