Stolen camera/photo finder

Not sure if it has been posted before but this looks very interesting. Must read meta data from photos to match your serial number to pictures across the web, could be handy to check popularity of your pics or find your stolen camera if it is used to upload pics.

Might try that out.

Trouble is I guess it checks the EXIF, so if someone just 'saves for web' it rips it all out and you'd never know.

Actually, it is rather interesting to see it find stolen images.

For example. Here's a really really early shot I took when I'd first got my Sigma 105.

.....and then, 13 images up from the bottom. An Identical image, complete with specific markings on the leaf etc.

I think it's just the one single image and really I'm not overly fussed. I put a lot of images on the net and really, I don't put a signature on that is difficult to remove or copy protect the image as such so if anyone steals my images, not much I can do about it I guess.

Still, very interesting.
