Some shooting statistics

It has been almost two years with my D7100 and I shot almost 10,000 pictures. I though it would be nice to see some statistics on how I use my different lenses. I wrote a couple or Perl/PDL scripts that scanned my photos (sorry, they only run in my work environment - too many dependencies to make it usable for other people) and created these plots. They show number of pictures shot at different aperture, shutter speed, focal length and ISO.

There are interesting things there (at least for me):
  • I tend to use zoom lenses at their extremes
  • I mostly use ISO 100, except for the 150-600
  • Shutter speed distribution is similar for most lenses (again, except for the Sigmonster)
  • I shoot more in summer

I am a statics nut also. There was a plugin for Lightroom that did this but it has gone away but I did find this Lightroom Dashboard

I am trying it out now and will see how it works.
