Hey thanks. I'm not sure I understand. I took this yesterday in Lousiana with my phone.

I've been saving for a real camera though. What do you recommend?

Imgur removes photo metadata, but if you are on Windows you can right click on the original and view it's properties, then on the Details tab the should be a group called Camera. This will tell you all the pertinent settings, such as f-stop and ISO speed (carryovers from film photography).

If you're getting a DSLR (and you should), get a Canon EOS. You can probably find the older ones still like the Rebel, they're really nice bits of kit -- though do check out sites like DPReview which have reviews and comparison photos etc.

Yes, of course. Thanks for the knowledge.

Beautiful pics by the way. Is that your home?

My grandads, it's really beautiful up there and we're really lucky when the Red Arrows display team put on a show as it's usually right at our eye level or they fly directly over the house.

Cedar gave a good explanation, although personally (with limited experience, mind you) I prefer Nikon. Anyway, you might have read that I was a fan photographer at Fenway Park for a while and one of the biggest factors in whether or not someone would buy a picture is the amount of detail that the photographer would get. That is, is the sky present in the picture or is it all blown out? Can they see recognizable elements of the park? Are their faces dark? Are their faces shiny? Etc.

Anyway, settings dude. They make or break pictures!
