lol... someone else told me about that, still not understanding why you would want to enlarge it so much that it doesn't fit on the computer screen?

Hello Angela and welcome to the UHH. Not a bad photo just a little soft on the focus...just a smig.
Well I can't speak for everyone, but here is what I do with once it's down loaded.
Put my cursor on it, I drag it over to the Desk Top.
I double click on it. And it comes up in Picasa Viewer.
Where I can zoom in and out.
I can also right click on the photo on my desk top, go down to the bottom of the list and click on properties.
Once the properties comes up I can slide over to details.
It will tell me your camera type, lens, ISO, and lot of other things.
When you don't click down load - we see only the thumbnail, or the basic thumbnail.
You don't always need to click the store box. But if you have a question about the photo, it helps use to see it better..
Your Exif info:
Camera Model: Canon EOS 30D
Lens: EF70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
Image Date: 2014-05-11
Focal Length: 165mm
Aperture: f/5.6
Exposure Time: 0.0006 s (1/1600-sec)
ISO equiv: 800
Exposure Bias: none
Metering Mode: Matrix
Exposure: aperture priority (semi-auto)
White Balance: Auto
Flash Fired: No
Lowering your ISO will reduce unwanted pixel noise in image. Your f/5.6 aperture is probably at maximum size for this focal length, so narrowing your DoF is really not an option. A smaller aperture, such as f/16, would deepen the DoF, which would cause a bit of visual confusion, as nearly everything would be in focus.
Lower your ISO, and play around with aperture and shutter duration to see how each effects your image capture.

I'm new at getting out of "auto", progressed to "P" and thought I was a professional... lol....
Fiddle around alot with my dials and most of the time I feel lucky if it comes out good. Thank goodness for digital, click to delete!!!

"P" = pre-programed settings. Did you program settings into
P mode?
The best way to learn digital photography is to try a few photos in Manual mode.
In full sunlight, average exposure is 1/ISO at f/16. Start at ISO 200, 1/200-sec at f/16. You can change shutter duration or aperture to adjust for exposure.

Thanks Duglass for the suggestions. I do fiddle with the iso, aperature and shutter speed, my problem is, I forget what I did if it turns out right!! lol... Been dabbling in M and sometimes I think I know what I'm doing, then I don't!! But it's always an adventure and fun!!

Angela, if you like a photo you've taken, look at the settings (ISO, aperture, shutter speed). You will begin to notice a pattern of what settings create excellent photos, and it will start to become somewhat automatic for you. You should also study the settings on the photos that you DON'T think came out good. In time, you will be able to see a pattern as well, and you will learn from your mistakes. We all do!!
This is very nice angela, would look nice hanging on a wall. When I click the download, the photo fills my screen vertically, but not horizontally. But it does give the photo more 'pop'. I have seen some pictures posted that appeared out of focus but when I downloaded they were extremely sharp. I really don't know the reasoning for that. I hope someone out there could explain it.
Wooooo Weeeeee!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
