Random Question About Upload Time

May 13th, 2011
When you look at someone's photo, if you click the Exif Info, it tells you what time they uploaded that particular photo. Is this time "your" time or "their" time? Because I know "my time" is central time zone in the US, but others, say in Australia, wouldn't have the same time. It's not super important, I'm just curious.

Well, select one of your photos, check the EXIF, and post the dates here. Then someone in a different timezone can check your same photo, and see what it says when they look at it. Then we know :)

Your may 13th photo (with the penny) has:

Date Taken: 2011-05-13 01:15:25
Date Uploaded: 2011-05-13 00:11:51

Interesting

@byrdlip and what timezone are *you* set as on here?
May 13th, 2011
Also (and I'm UK, in BST at present, GMT+1) I see that one as:

Date Taken: 2011-05-13 01:15:25
Date Uploaded: 2011-05-13 08:11:51

So provisionally it looks like the actual part of that that's actually EXIF (the "date taken") is read directly and displayed in whatever timezone the camera was set as when it took the snap, and the "date uploaded" (which isn't EXIF, but is stored separately in 365project's database) is stored in whatever timezone your profile's set in but displayed in the timezone of the viewing user.

@byrdlip @eyebrows Aha. Interesting. I know it wasn't important to know this, but I was wondering about that. Thank for your help!

I've wondered this before too. But my time is always wrong!!! The time and date on my camera is set correctly. My computers time and date is correct too. And I have the correct time zone set for this site. But for some reason when I upload, my exif times are always wrong! I've just learned to live with it.
I bet if someone actually looked at my exif info they'd be confused! Some of my daylight photos say I took the photo at 2am!

@sweett My time is always wrong as well. We live in the future!

@sweett @meggageg That's strange. I think mine are right...
May 13th, 2011
Although, now that I think about it my camera time might be wrong. A friend in the UK gave me it and I'm not sure if I ever changed the time. Blonde moment. It happens.

@meggageg Haha! I have blonde moments sometimes too. I'm not actually blonde tho!
