Methodology

Stats are aggregated from photos analyzed on PixelPeeper, capped per contributor so no single uploader can dominate a page. Shooting values come from EXIF metadata; editing values come from Lightroom XMP develop settings when present. Gallery previews are reduced thumbnails from attributed public sources; every chart and swatch is derived from aggregate numbers. generated August 10, 2026.
