Early digital days.
I was going back through files from my first outing with a digital camera (20D). This image was taken on Skomer but what I can't understand is in the 'File info' under Camera Data it gives the focal length as 135 and the lens as 50mm. At that time I was using a 70-200mm, a 300mm amd a Sigma 500mm so I cannot see how those figures can be correct (particularly as I'm fairly certain this was shot with the 500) ??
1/640 @ f5.6
iso 100
(or so it says!)

Cracking image, certainly fills the frame, and on this medium, no loss of quality, I had a 20D and loved it

Hi Robert, nice image and the only thing I can say is the 20D was one of the early Dig.cameras and maybe it could not read the info. of your image correctly. :toast:
