After dinner she asked me: "Do you have a pillow please"

Then she crawled into the swinging chair and a minute later, in a room of 7 adults talking, she was and stayed sound asleep.

1. Doesn't matter where you are.

Boring grown up talk is boring grown up talk!

2. This is priceless!!!

As Usual Mira, Ya Done Good.... Just checked your Exif... That Sony you are using is really superb...... I am impressed!

My camera is on the desk in front of me... Went out late this afternoon and shot the Flamboyants on Apooiti Point.. Spring has sprung here, tomorrow I am going by the Hospital where my daughter works and see if the Yellow Flamboyants are in bloom.....

5. Very good image. Love that the teddy has matching pants.

I knew she had a good camera, but I never thought of reading the EXIF to see what it is.

6. Funny how progressive minds work alike

I was thinking the same thing about the teddy, and looking at the photo, I wanted to see what had happened and the exif tells all if it is there... I saw that the flash had not fired, and looked at the ISO and 1600 is gettin up there...

7. My P&S is good up to ISO 100. Paint me green with envy.

I'm seriously thinking of going Sony, but then the Samsung NX10 or NX100 look good.

9. So - tell me like I'm a two year old, please

what's and Exif and how do you check it?

I can right click on the photo and get photo info, but not what camera was used, or if there was a flash, or the ISO - did I shoot that at 1600? - total accident. One of my guests had woman handled my camera. I did not mind - she is a photo editor engineer, has a top job at a TV station (mother of Laura, got to stay out of work for 8 months after the birth, and her job was preserved, and her salary paid 80 percent)
and who knows what happened when she did handle it?

If I sound dopey, it's because I am. I got the camera a month or so ago. Stepped up from my Alpha 100 to an Alpha 500. Can't really operate it well yet. I want to retire, then I want to read for a full year, and after that I will learn more about my camera.

I hope that makes sense.

10. Try this, Mira.

http://www.opanda.com/en/iexif/

It enables right-clicking on a photo in IE or Firefox which gives you an option to read whatever EXIF data is there. Keep in mind that some image processing software obliterates the data. For instance, my EXIF data is preserved in the conversion from RAW to TIF, but stripped out when I produce a JPG from the TIF. Newer versions of Photoshop than mine, I believe, allow the EXIF data to be preserved.

And that's a really lovely photograph!

11. Ah So! Thank you so much, JeffR - I also had a very thoughtful private response

from maheanuu so once I follow up I will understand this so much better.
With this kindness and help I won't stay ignorant of the finer things forever. At least I hope...

Thanks also for liking the photo, how could I not pull out the camera?

[JeffR]

12. How could you not, indeed? As the saying goes, a "Kodak moment."

For me, that's a portrait of Childhood, not just an individual child.

And I was just paying forward the tip about iExif viewer. It was bvar22 who posted a link here about that back in '06. One of a zillion handy things I've picked up here.
