Dear all,

Many of the pictures I view in this section are simply stunning and ones that I could only dream of taking. As a newbie to DSLR I'm fascinated as to the setup process involved in taking these shots and try to learn as much as possible. Is there a section on the site that offers more info regarding the shot such as:

Exposure settings
Focusing method (continuous AF etc..)
Photo editing used
etc..

Many thanks,

Ian

Only if uploaded to Gallery with EXIF info, Ian............... or you ask (which would be the best way if it's not there!). I kind of always mean to post that stuff but am guilty of not doing so!

As Mark said......plus sometimes if the exif is left in when resizing for web you can right-click the image and look at the properties. Otherwise if you see a shot you want to know more about, in the Forums, just ask. It would be a parsimonious git who wouldn't tell you

Thanks guys. Wasn't sure whether to ask or not but you all seem a friendly bunch so I won't have any qualms in the future

JAG - Made up of my wife and kids names James Alida Georgia. Problem is little Dylan came into the world last year and I can't make any words up including the D! I'm also know as JAG by all my diving buddies. I wish I drove one!

That's a good point JAG has made and one I am guilty of as much as the next man. My gear is all listed so that is not a problem but I rarely bother to mention aperture or shutter speed or even the lens I was using so I'll try and remember to that for shots where the info might be useful.

Like most others, I have nothing to hide by keeping info to myself, I'd far rather share it and if that benefits others then great. I have benefited hugely from reading the info others have supplied over the years. This game is non-competitive: if we truly love this art form, we should seek to help each other with it as much as possible.

Thanks for the reminder JAG :o)

Cheers,
Rob
