Searching photos by EXIF data.

[dacar]

In response to this week's competition - is there a way of searching an entire photo library (>1000GB) for exposure lengths less than 1/1000?
Does Lightroom do this? Other packages I have tried don't and I removed Lightroom a little while ago because it was a free trial which had expired.
Is such a search built in to any other software or is there a standalone program which will do this?

I have found a workaround (it just occurred to me as I was typing this question) - I use Xplorer2 for file management. It can list files' exif data in a limited and slightly clumsy way, but I just used it to display exposure length and then I sorted the display by that column. It is difficult to do when I want t o search many subfolders, but it is a step in the direction I went to go.

Any other suggestions?

See my reply to your other post asking the same question. Yes Lightroom can do this.

Lightroom (and now that it is cheaper, even though tey ripped us Aussies off, it is definitely worth getting and learning).

> View - Show Filter Bar
> Select Metadata
> A filter can then be selected for any kind of metadata you can think of - focal length, ISO, shutter speed, Lens, camera, camera serial etc etc!

that is how I have been finding my pics for the comps that have the requirements

If you're on Mac, Aperture will also do this. I have series of smart albums set up to keep track of EXIF data (e.g. Lens) but have looked for shutter speed in the past.
