Why hide Exif?

It just seems that way. Frequently when photographs are manipulated
and saved EXIF info is lost. Here is an example of a photo who's EXIF
I did not purposely hide! When it was resized for the web and saved
as a jpg the EXIF info went away.
However, If you are curious about any of my web images I would be
more than happy to give you the EXIF info via e-mail. I mean, this IS
a helping forum!!!
Then the question just remains which of the two EXIF sets you would
provide ; )
And what makes you think there would only be two? :^)

Hey Steve, nice photo. What's the story with that building?
This is the old bank building built in 1903 in Rhyolite, Nevada. At one time the town had 10,000 people and even a railroad station. The entire town went bankrupt in 1907 and by 1916 it was a ghost town. Buildings were torn down and very little is left now. Maybe 10-12 buildings. It is one of about 100 photos in my ghost town series.

If you choose the PBase link to view Exif info it is displayed.
Obviously the Exif information was there to begin with. If you use a
third party utility like Opanda then PBase mysteriously refuses to
divulge the information.
I can view the EXIF on my pBase images with Opanda. Do you look at the "original" size image or do you let pBase downsize it?

I assume you have some other way to include copyright and contact information if you strip the metadata.

Also, to reply to an earlier question, yes, I think in a few cases of unusual technique it does help to know how the shot was taken. Of course this isn't the "art" but photographic art is enmeshed in technique.

Moreover, how many trade secrets do you really think you'd give away by including the data?

Thanks for that hint. If I look at the PBase original size image Opanda is able to display all the Exif information. If I am looking at any of the PBase resized images the Exif information is not available in Opanda. But it is available through PBase's own Exif link (though limited).

I hide mine because I am not supposed to let people see that I have been using a D300 for a year now... It just wouldn't be fair. ; )
 
A lot of us would be interested in how (mechanics, so to speak) did a good picture get to be taken during challenging circumstances. Then we can play around with those techniques and extend our skills. Maybe even do some art, too.
