Fianally took a picture.
 

I actually took a lot of pictures, This one was the best of the lot. The only problem being I tried so many combinations on the camera I can't remember what setting this picture was taken at.

In any event I have at least started to use my new camera. Things I learned, 300mm doesn't get me nearly as close as I thought it would, and the position of the sun makes a BIG difference.

A lovely sharp photo you will soon get the hang of your camera with all the help you will find on here. You should be able to read the exif data in the program you originally opened the image with, that should give you all the setting at the time you took the photo.

Thanks Christine
 

Next time I won't delete all the pictures off the card! At least not before I seen what I did to produce the picture I like.

Here is a screen capture with your settings it didn't delete them when you saved the image. In CS I just went to file then info.

I really don't get this stuff
 

You retrieved this picture in cs? I right clicked on the picture but could not get the info you got. Please explain how you did it.....one step at a time please.

While the photo is open go to file then near the bottom you will see file info press on that. ALt+SHIFT+CTRL+I

Here is a screenshot

Just one thing, it does not show that the shutter speed of 1/250 of a sec.

If you use Firefox you can right click on the picture and go to properties. Saves using PS altogether :)

Frank,

As you have a Nikon D50 you should have in the box with the camera, had a disc Nikon View. If this is loaded on your pc, open the program and use the browser function to get to the folder where you have stored the picture. Nikon view will display a thumbnail of each picture in that folder. A single left button click on the image will display all the info in the pane below the tool bar.

I have just done a quick screen capture.
