May 24, 2012 Bolsa Chica Wildlife Preserve in Huntington Beach, CA
We were at the scene of reported previous Black Skimmer activity and I was running out of time when this cooperative fellow happened by.

Nikon D300 Nikkor 200-400mm 1.4 TC 550mm f/8 manual 1/800 white balance auto
I have a new MAC computer and cannot figure out what my ISO was.

Comments welcome

Excellent action of of the skimmer. A hard shot to make!

Nikon's View NX2 or Lightroom will show your EXIF information.

As long as you haven't deleted the EXIF somewhere in your work flow (like with "Save for web") you have a number of options:

- Nikon View NX2 (I use this for my first edit pass and have it set to open as soon as Nikon Transfer has imported all my NEFs from my CF card)
- Photoshop (File Info panel)
- Preview (use the Info button at the top of the Preview window and select the various tabs to find Nikon and EXIF values)
- EXIF Viewer - a shareware application I'm running on Leopard and Snow Leopard)
- Graphic Converter - an app I've used on Macs since the days of 7.5 or so and am still using on Snow Leopard
