Yes I am. Can you tell I had it stretched out for most of the shots.
And yes Doug I found that file info and just transferred what I thought would be helpful. I have read that there is a way to make that available on the picture so that people can pull it up when they look at it but I don't know how. They talk about it on Nikon Cafe a lot.

not sure your experience level but this book was helpful to me, and still is


The Digital Photography Book, by Scott Kelby is a great little reference book for how to shoot specific scenes and subjects. There's little or no theory in the book. It's more of a recipe book. The way Scott puts it on the back cover, if you were out on a shoot with him and asked him how to get those flowers in focus and the background out of focus he wouldn't give you a phototraphy lecture, but just tell you to set your f-stop to 2.8, focus on the flower and fire away. Some of the hints in this book are just that simple. Some are even simpler, and others are more subtle. If you're an advanced photographer you know all of this already. This book covers: getting really sharp photos, shooting flowers, weddings, landscapes, sports, travel and city shots, people, how to avoid problems, take advantage of digital and how to print. It's a great little reference book, a great way to focus your thoughts before going out to shoot.

And on your Canon,IMO check out one of the canon forums on your specific camera model and ask lots of questions.

I'm not sure how to get it to come up either. The pictures you uploaded have no info with them, so its getting lost somewhere. I have software that removes all of it for when you send a picture and don't want people to know things about it.
