What They Didn't Teach You In Photo School The secrets of the trade that will make you a success in the industry
Author: Demetrius Fordham; published in 2015.

I ordered this book but it wasn't really appropriate for me. It's geared more towards those who want to pursue a professional photog career. My loss is your gain. It's yours for the shipping cost.

More info on Amazon, but in short:

"Classes and workshops are a great way to learn the skills that will let you take great photos, but they don't teach you how to be a photographer. In "What They Didn't Teach You in Photo School," Demetrius Fordam will help you make the transition from talented amateur to respected pro, building your own personal brand and business on the way. — Passing on hard-earned lessons from a successful career in commercial,editorial and lifestyle photography, he shows how to snag the best internships and assistant roles, impress at an interview, develop an amazing portfolio, form strong relationships with clients, and lay the ground work for your own successful career. With a fresh design, and distinctive real-world photography, this the crucial companion that will make you, and your work, stand out.

Can you elaborate on how to find dupes with apps already in Windows?

Thanks.

Some basic facts of celestial mechanics: You can't get the Full Moon rising and Sun setting in the same shot (unless you use a very low FL fisheye. The full moon rises in the east (NE to SE depending on season), the sun sets in the west (SW to NW depending on season).

She says that everything is in excellent condition.

Is there any demand for this stuff? Will any of it work with Canon DSLRs?

Rebel T6 does not. Only Evaluative, Partial and Center Weighted Averaging.

It's one of the very few Canon models that doesn't have spot metering.

Thanks for the responses, everyone. I am now wiser and richer. More education is in order.

I have 18-55mm, 70-300mm kit lenses and a 50mm prime. The new body would have to be compatible with these.

I always shoot in RAW + JPEG.

Are you saying that evaluative metering would be the optimum choice instead of partial or center-weighted average? I've read on the internet [so it must be true ;-)] that spot metering is the way to go. The Rebel T6 does not have spot metering.

I have a Canon Rebel T6 (1300D) and 3 lenses. I would like to upgrade to a camera body that has spot mode metering but not spend too much.

What do experienced Canon users suggest?

I keep the manuals for several devices on my phone. Always available.

I once took a nice photo of a musician friend and he said I must have a "really good camera." He asked me why I laughed at that comment, so I asked him if he would tell Eric Clapton he must have a really good guitar. He got it right away and we both laughed.

Thanks for the info, Sodapop, but it's still not cost effective for me. I'm not a professional photog, and my needs are pretty basic.

I haven't spent much time with the Photo app in Windows 10, but I've been using Microsoft Office Picture Manager for many years. It has enough capability to meet my needs MOST of the time, but I don't consider my needs sufficient to justify spending $20/month for a full-featured editor like Lightroom or something similar. I usually just use the AUTOCORRECT button to brighten up a photo, or use the cropping and resize & compression tools to make some images smaller in size.

I have been considering adopting a free, more fully-featured editor such as GIMP for those times when I need more than MsOPM can handle, but I haven't used it yet.

MsOPM used to come bundled in the Office Suite, but was removed since around Office 2013. But it is still available as a free download as part of the Sharepoint Designer 2010 package.

From the Microsoft website, here's instructions on how to get & install MsOPM:

* Download SharePoint Designer 2010 here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16573
* In the ensuing message (at the bottom of your screen) that asks if you want to Run or
Save the .exe file, click Run. (Or SAVE and run from your local hard-drive.)
* Accept the license terms and click Continue.
* On the Choose the installation you want page, click Customize.
* Expand Office Tools and select Microsoft Office Picture Manager.
* Click the drop-down arrow next to Microsoft Office Picture Manager and click Run from my computer.

Thanks, Pat.
