Thank you for your tips on metadata. You have given much info in a short simple easy format. Thanks again♥

Yep, thanks. I had never heard of metadata (data that describes other data) before and I am forever 'losing' photos due to failure to properly label.

Oh, and be happy knowing that I am helping to supplement your retirement; I bought a Ford automobile.

@greene thanks for buying a Ford! Nice color, or is it photoshoped?

:)

Your camera adds metadata to the file it generates such as date, time, camera model, lens, etc.

Metadata like caption, title, keywords, etc are things that you can add.

easy to do...

Not photo shopped...it's just very GREEN !! Got tired of roaming around parking lots looking for my car; I needed one that I could find easily...yep, I can see this car 1/4 mile away! In the dark.

So you say that my camera adds this metadata? How? Where? Let me check...

I selected one image from my laptop and checked the 'File info':
File name:
NOID, possibly Commelina bengalensis, Aug 9 2014 garden.jpeg
Date:
Friday, August 08, 2014,7:47 AM
Size:
206.9 KB
Dimensions:
881 x 541
Shot:
f/3.7 5mm
ISO:
80
File location:
C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\all photos, newest attempt\NOID, possibly Commelina Bengalensis, Aug 9 2014 garden.jpg
Source:
This PC

Some of that information was supplied by me; some was supplied by my (old) camera - that part I understand.
How does this stuff translate into the metadata? Who, besides me, can see this data? Sorry for so many questions...guess I need a rainy day to do some research. I'm gonna need some helpful tutoring or some links (lots of links!!) that show 'how to', thanks!
Old dog; new tricks...I ain't gettin' any younger, y'know.

Oh, my new camera is a Pentax Q mirror-less SR.

It's all metadata and anyone can see it.
I looked at your car photo and I can tell you used a Pentax Q10 camera, at F/4, 1/250 sec., ISO 200. You used spot metering mode, Auto White Balance, Landscape mode, high saturation, and 5mm focal length and more.
Computer related info like "File location:
C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\all photos, newest attempt\NOID, possibly Commelina Bengalensis, Aug 9 2014 garden.jpg
Source:
This PC" and "File name:
NOID, possibly Commelina bengalensis, Aug 9 2014 garden.jpeg" are not visible.
What's visible is the image date that the camera adds and anything you add like author, copyright, keywords etc.

Ouch, my head hurts. I'll try in the morning after coffee. I do my best research at that time of day...
