Yes, my dslr has metadata associated with each shot, which is often useful. I have some older photos from an early digital point-and-shoot camera that don't have that data, which is sometimes frustrating. We were just talking about this a bit today because my cousin sent me some old photos, some of which have notes on the back and some don't--a common problem for historians to have to puzzle through (who is that? when is this?). But here I am posting some of these images shorn of some of their metadata--once again mysteries of a sort.

Funnily, I’ve been playing with a similar book, only this one is on figure drawing. I have zero technique because I have no real training, so that has been kind of tough. But I’m trying it.

Tim, do you journal your chosen settings for a select shot? I know iPhone has this information associated with each photo...at least a good deal of information...do digital slrs also have this data stored with each shot. The best photo I ever took was a black and white portrait of a figure against a tree in which the curved lines of the tree and grainy bark gave it extraordinary depth dimension. I did not record the settings nor today do I remember even what camera I used. Alas🤔😢
