    Why does this image from show up in with these from 2012-13? I have seen this before.

    Weird - no idea! I noticed yesterday that someone was commenting on an old image where the last comment was from 7 months earlier or so. I just thought that maybe they had been looking at people's collections and found it. But you just saw that one during classifying, so that is odd.

    Actually I have had several come up with the 09 date. That is that I've noticed. I don't look at the date for every image. I wonder if it could be possible for a camera to have the wrong setting on it?

    The other I put up the same day with just the regular photos, you know 4 in a row. ASG000u02q 1/22/09 This one is ASG000ty8y 1/02/09
    The view looks the same which was making me think same camera. But I don't know how to find if date was set wrong without finding the photo at the beginning dating it, wow but who know how many time I would have to hand change the digits to even have a chance of finding! Very time and labor intensive and probably not at all meaningful!

    For what it's worth, this seems to be the transition from the previous series to the 2009 series:

    ASG000tx7x -- September 22nd 2012, 12:21:16 pm;
    ASG000tx7y -- January 1st 2009, 6:06:55 am;
    ASG000tx7z -- January 1st 2009, 6:06:55 am;
    ASG000tx80 -- January 1st 2009, 6:06:55 am;
    ASG000tx81 -- January 1st 2009, 6:11:15 am

    Unfortunately, the first shots are blurry extreme close-ups, and there is no date capture at the beginning. It looks like there are a number of issues with this series. The pictures I checked from ASG000tx81 to ASG000ty8y (1 out of every 36 for the most part) were all empty grass, and covered just two days, January 1-2, 2009. It looks like the three frames of each capture might have been split up into separate captures (see the 6:06:55 picture set above, or ASG000ty8x, ASG000ty8y, ASG000ty8z), giving you three times as many 'captures' to look through. I wonder what was triggering the camera that frequently, too.

    Thanks for your input in this. It sure seems to be a lot of photos with nothing but landscape in them. Then in that last set you mentioned, it was daylight and it seems that should have triggered 3 photos for each instead of dividing it out as it did. I wonder if it is just some sort of camera malfunction we have discovered. There just doesn't seem to be another answer for sooooo many photos with only landscape.

    Just noticed I just got another capture from 2009 to classify so I figured I'd add it to the discussion: ASG000u0wg
