@Colour blind: Hey Kelly-

Thanks for the compliments.

I shoot with two first generation Canon 300D bodies, (and an obscene pile of lenses etc.). I've hacked the firmware, in order to expand their capabilities. You don't see EXIF info, because I trash it before I even review the images I've taken. I used to shoot film, and kept a notebook to review my settings after the photos were developed. (The very notion of EXIF.) As I'm sure you're aware, once you take enough notes about anything, it becomes a waste of time.

I can look at my own work, and tell from the image what settings I used with my equipment to get the shot. This circles all the way back to the fact that my perception of light viewed through my lens is different than yours. An excellent choice of settings for a given shot may yield awful results when the reasons for the settings aren't apparent, or the equipment is different. So, if you were standing next to me, shooting the same subject, in the same circumstances, with the same equipment, this data might be very helpful. (Certainly, reviewing your own data after the fact is paramount to improving your skills.)

In the absence of the aforementioned circumstance, this info seems like the Cliff's Notes we all sometimes used in college. You might be able to pass a test, but you don't really know the material enough to do anything useful with it, and may even be mislead.

That said:

250/1000 sec
F/22
ISO 100
20 mm

Feel free to ask anytime, if you think it helps.

Cheers.
