Apologies it's such an utterly boring shot, but I very much need to know what date this photo was taken.

Is anybody able to read the metadata of this file? It was taken in April '07 some time IIRC.

There is no exif data I'm afraid.

FWIW, there's a few good exif addons for firefox smile

As already said, there is no exif data in the image, i use opanda exif reader and the window comes up but the fields are blankconfused

Have you tried right clicking on the original file(assuming you have it on your computer) and clicking on properties, that will give you the date the file was originally created.

Thanks for the replies smile

My problem was that I couldn't find the original file and needed the date for a court case currently ongoing. Thankfully I finally found the file after daisy chaining 10 Firewire drives to my computer, and using OS X's 'Spotlight' software to search nerd

Thanks again for the advice offered smile

Not necessarily, so many ways to destroy that info. Here's what I get from exiftool(1), which isn't really anything useful (apologies for the formatting, blame PH wink ):

ETA,

<deleted exiftool data>

Glad you found what you were after smile
