Date of this photo and other Panoramio images of San Francisco by Roman Eugeniusz

[edit]

The "Save our Giants" banner with the phone number clearly indicates that the photo was taken in 1992 (see e.g. [1][2][3]).

More generally regarding other photos by the same Panoramio photographer, which currently all carry 2011 as date based on the Panoramio upload date:

  • These photos look analog, not digital, the EXIF data gives a scanner (instead of a camera),
  • the cars (e.g. here or here) look more like 1980s or 1990s,
  • the bus ad in this one is for a 1990 event,
  • he titled this Chinatown photo (which apparently wasn't imported to Commons) "Photo of San Francisco,California,USA.(1989)"

What's more, the Panoramio-sourced geocoordinates are wildly wrong for many or most photos of this set (although not this one), see e.g. [4][5][6]. Regards, HaeB (talk) 21:24, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
