2007-06-04 21:26 - Flickr lens:type machine tag
I'm in the process of giving all my photos a "lens:type" machine tag on Flickr. This will indicate which lens I used to make the photo. Check it out:
It's all done automagically by a Python script I wrote. It analyses things like the date at which the photo was taken, focal length and aperture size to determine which lens I used. It's a very boring and repetitive task and I'm glad I could delegate it to a computer.
If you're interested in the script let me know and I'll send you a copy. Since the analysing logic of the program will need adjustment to your set of lenses, it requires at least some Python knowledge. This is also the reason why I didn't put the program online - in its current form it's not useful for anyone else.
The script uses the Flickr API to interface with Flickr.
