Fellow photographers, where in EXIF/IPTC meta data would you (or are you already) put a description of the photo?
I'm not talking about the legend, more the description of the actual content of the image, how you would describe it to blind people.
Couldn't find anything yet in Lightroom's UI.
Having my phone in my pocket doesn’t trigger anything but distraction. It can do everything, and so I feel nothing in particular about it. A physical camera takes photos, but it also makes me think about seeing. And I like that.
Large photos in photo pages of my photography site are now progressive JPEGs so that you can see them earlier, even if they weight more than with AVIF or WebP:
Thanks to Cloudinary and my responsive images plugin for Eleventy, it took me 10 seconds! 😍
I wish Google didn't kill JPEG XL… 😭
I also wish Largest Contenful Paint didn't wait for the full progressive image to be downloaded and rendered.
This is a slippery slope, and we’re already on it. Seeing basic functions like editing RAW files suddenly flooded by “AI powered tools” is the canary in the coal mine. We should all be very concerned about where this is taking photography as an art form.
There are now pages on my photography site about the cameras and lenses I used to shoot the photos you can see:

Data are extracted from the photos' EXIF, and pages are still generated with #Eleventy! 😍
If you use the #Unsplash plugin in #Figma and search for the "athletics" keyword, one of my photos comes in the third position! 😲😊
