I dont know how to get the EXIF data but I can tell you they were both taken in manual mode with my canon A75 at work today. Shutter speed pretty slow, i dont remember what it was. I am a total newbee by the way. This is my second digital camara, the other being my old Canon A10.

Anyhow let me know...

Only an american would post a pic of their gun like that! :p

The dog one's really cool, but the rest do nothing for me i'm afraid.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Yes I am an American and I do love my guns:)
Don’t care for the ones of the old cameras? I am going to do them again with better lighting sometime. They were taken at night with a very weak and yellow like light.

Nah the old cameras shots don't do anything for me at all.

The dog shot would have to be my pick of the bunch, the foreground is a detracting away from it a little though, you chould crop it in a bit more, worth a play anyway.

Watch you backgrounds on some of the close ups though, they are a littel confusing and draw away from the subjects, esspecially the gun and the machined piece of alloy.

The portrait is a nice setting (looks simular to our local zoo!), but is drawing away from the subject, appear to be a little over exposed though.

I like the lines of the second camera shot, makes you eye run from left to right quite nicely, the lens on the AE1 makes for a good stop.

Just my two CF cards worth!

Thank you, I think I'll give that croping a try. Okay done. Hows that?
