Carine06:
Hi Carine
I have noticed the same problem with some of my pictures: EXIF is missing. I have checked my Flickr exporting service in Lightroom, but I can't figure out where I'm making a mistake. All of my published photos in LR have the metadata complete (camera make, shot parameters, etc)
What did you do to solve the problem?
thanks
Luis

Oliver Leveritt:
My "workflow" involves using the flickr uploader to upload my photos. It makes no difference if the photo was edited on Photoshop, Lightroom, Nikon Capture NX2, or Corel -- the EXIF data is missing. the ONE common factor is flickr.
That's the problem with this thread. It was started for a different reason originally and people reading the first posts are not paying attention and getting pissed when they read responses to the original poster.
The original poster's problem was solved and it WAS a user issue due to their workflow.
When this current site-wide problem came up (MUCH LATER), the people that started seeing it, should have NEVER piggybacked onto this thread, as all it's doing is causing confusion—like yours— for people who aren't noticing the dates of the posts.
So before you go off half-cocked jumping someone's ass, maybe you should actually pay more attention to the thread content and dates of the posts.
Reading comprehension is a wonderful thing— try using it.

I have the same issue as Carine06 and I would like to know what the user issue was so I can also correct.
See, this is exactly what I'm talking about: complete and total confusion, because this thread was not started due to the current "missing EXIF/Camera data" issue.
NigelJE:
I will assume you are NOT having the same issue as Carine06, and are, in fact, having the issue that everyone else is currently experiencing.
Carine06 was having a purely personal workflow issue that resulted in her photos' EXIF data being stripped before they were ever uploaded to Flickr. This was discussed and discovered over a month ago. Now, this thread, that would have been a blessing had it been closed, instead, has been hijacked with a completely unrelated SITEWIDE issue affecting EXIF.
Flickr staff has commented further up the thread:
www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/72157666693360914/#reply7...
There is nothing you can do at the moment, but wait for Staff to correct the problem.

Wow...talk about invalid assumptions!!!
Carine06 stated: "I've just noticed that my recently uploaded photos don't show the camera info, just the link to exif data. I haven't made any changes to privacy, or to anything else I can think of. Photos uploaded until March 2016 show the camera info, but for uploads since then it's not there."
This is exactly my problem, obviously this forum only offers abuse and not help.
I will try elsewhere.

NigelJE:
Wow...talk about invalid assumptions!!!
If you made the effort to read further down the page, you would have seen where Carine06 made the following post after being told it was probably her processing workflow that was stripping the EXIF before her photos were being uploaded.
And I quote:
Carine06: "Investigating... yes, it is listed, but I'm wondering if I've inadvertently made a change to what happens when I export on Lightroom.
Success! I must have unticked a box when exporting. I've changed it and replaced my latest photo, and the info is back. You were absolutely right, it was the workflow – thanks very much! it might have been ages before I'd noticed I'd accidentally changed something."
_____________________________________________
So you see, unless you are stripping your EXIF from your photos in Lightroom before you upload them to Flickr, then you ARE NOT experiencing the same problem as Carine06 was way back in the first weeks of June. If it is the case, then let me apologize. If it is not the case, let you apologize.
At the present time, many, if not all, Flickr members are not seeing the EXIF on their photos, due to a site-wide issue. I can't see my EXIF data, and I can guarantee you, I am not using Lightroom.

It's all very well Flickr support writing this is being worked on...but I'm sure most would like to know:
1) By when will the bug with the flickr.photos.getExif API not working be resolved
2) Will all of the missing EXIF data which has vanished from existing photos/or wasn't uploaded with recent photos be visible once the issue has been fixed, or will be all have to re-upload our photos to have EXIF data?
Update from Flickr Support asap please! Thanks

As has already been stated several times, the EXIF is actually intact on the files, it's just not being displayed on the photopages.

jacksonlavarnway: many of my earliest photos, posted to flickr long before I used Lightroom, have lost their full EXIF data. Those photos have had full EXIF data for years. Now it has disappeared.
This is a flickr problem which appears to be related to corruption in the API.

It's definitely a Flickr bug, cause I uploaded the same picture that 2 days ago showed every single setting or EXIF, but now all the infos are missing.
It's very annoying and hope they can fix it soon!

All my photos' EXIF disappeared (in web browser & iOS app) whether they're newly uploaded or uploaded several years ago.
But when I download them back to my computer, they still contain EXIF. (Still be the same files with their originals)
So I think it might be Flickr database / GUI issue.

Yes. I am a 100% mobile photographer. Sharing my photos with phone-only groups, most moderators want to check if photos are really taken + edited with mobile devices. So, visible EXIF data are quite essential for me.

An image I posted on 18 July had all the usual EXIF/exposure data shown, then on 20 July another image shows only the camera type, in spite of having made no changes to my Lightroom 6.6 workflow in between. This would appear to be a Flickr problem, but I can't find any resolution here.

Unfortunately Yahoo Customer Care does not seem to read the Help Forum. I sent them an email yesterday outlining the problem and this is their reply.
Hi Stephen,
Thanks for reaching out to our Flickr support team!
I'm sorry to hear that you've been having trouble with your EXIF data displaying, and I certainly apologize for any inconvenience that it's caused! The only thing that I can think of that may be affecting your EXIF data is if you are using an image editing app for your photos. Some image editing apps will delete the EXIF data upon saving, which could explain why you're not seeing it.
Please let me know if this may be the case, if you are in fact using an app to edit your images. If you are not using an image editing app, please let me know, and we can try to find another solution to get this resolved.
We're looking forward to your response!
Thanks,
Courtney
Yahoo Customer Care
---
I replied:
Hi Courtney,
If you check out the flickr Help Forum you will find a thread in the Hot Topics at the top and you will find that a great many people are having this problem.
Since sending you this email a flickr staffer has become aware of the problem.
It has been suggested by another member that there is a problem with the API.
I normally post my dslr photos using Lightroom which DOES include the EXIF data. Also many of my photos posted years ago and which did have the full EXIF data in my flickr posts , have now lost it.
If I download the original size of these photos I find the EXIF data is still included with the photo: it is just not showing in flickr.
So I think it is obvious that the problem lies with flickr. It is extremely improbable that so many people would suddenly find their EXIF data missing through some fault of their own.
Finally, may I add that if you do check out the Hot Topic, then there are TWO QUITE DIFFERENT ISSUES in this thread. The one about the most recent problem concerning EXIF data starts about half way down page 1 of the thread; and close to the bottom of that page you will find the Staff comment.
Regards,
Stephen

Yahoo Customer Care are not Flickr staff. They are two totally separate things. They are not the people who will resolve this issue. It will be resolved by the Flickr devs.
And Yahoo Customer Care has been typically clueless in the past on most matters, so it will only be an exercise in self-frustration to contact them regarding an issue they can't fix.

I personally directed no one here to this confusing thread until after Flickr staff had denoted it the "official" thread of reference by making it a sticky. From the get go, I thought it was a mistake to post in this thread about the current issue, as it would only cause confusion...and guess what, it has!
Hopefully, the issue will be fixed soon and this will all be water under the bridge.

Matthew Almon Roth:
I'm looking through this thread, and there is so much dialogue going on about outdated information. Perhaps Flickr should implement a way for threads to display a current status, like a sticky post or something? Or better yet, perhaps when Flickr is happy with the changes to the photo, camera roll, photo stream views, the forum view should be overhauled?
Obviously that's not directed at you personally, and I appreciate your reply indicating that the bug is rolling out through a distributed system whose inner workings are obscured from us end users, so pass that info on to whoever may find it useful if you think it's useful.

The EXIF information is still in the file. You can confirm this by downloading the image. Flickr isn't simply able to show it in some cases. I'm sure they'll re-appear once the issue has been figured out.

I get the complete exif for the photos I just uploaded, but the photos I uploaded the previous two days still only show the camera type. Before that all photos I checked have the complete exif (I didn't check all 8000+)
Edit: I checked all 66 photos, three on each day, I uploaded since July 1st. On 57 photos the exif is complete, nine show only the camera type: all photos uploaded on 20 and 21 July and one photo each uploaded on 5, 9 an 12 July.

I've noticed that sort of problem with one upload that I had processed with GIMP and uploaded yesterday. On that upload, when I click on "Show EXIF", only the camera ID and type are displayed.
I don't remember if I had downsized and saved that upload with Aviary on Flickr subsequently.

I don't use GIMP and I have never used Aviary. The photos which only show the Camera type had exactly the same workflow, and were part of the same batches, as the ones that show the complete EXIF. The only difference is when I uploaded them.

It's a mess really at the moment: Some photos show only basic camera info, some only exif info, some both, some none. It has nothing to do with Lightroom export/upload settings. It just happened all of a sudden and apparently at random. I guess we need to patiently wait until Flickr has resolved this issue.

Some of my older ones are fixed, some are not. If I replace an older one with itself, that fixes it. Before replacing more older ones, I think I'll wait to see if more of them fix themselves. Having to perform this kind of maintenance on my stream would be a big disappointment for me, it should never have happened.
