Here’s a useful tool you might want to bookmark: findexif.com. It has a super simple web interface in which you simply paste a URL to a photograph in order to display the EXIF data embedded in the image. It should work for any photograph that hasn’t had the EXIF stripped out for some reason, and can be a great way for you to learn how certain images were made. Here’s an example page showing the EXIF data of a photograph I made a while back.

Update: Jeffery’s Exif viewer is another neat web-based tool for showing EXIF data. Thanks @Getcolormanaged!

Comes in handy instead of download the image onto your pc and then checking the exif data.

IMO Jeffrey's Exif Viewer is better (last link) - you can drag the EXIF button to your toolbar. On any website with a photo you simply click on the EXIF button and it opens a new tab with the EXIF detail.

Here's another handy tool I found recently -

ExposurePlot

It analyses your photos to see what is the most used focal lengths, ISO, shutter speed and aperture. I did an analysis on about 3000 photos and 85% are between 28 and 90mm (35mm eqv). I have my eyes on a 17-55 2.8 lens, so it gives me some peace of mind that the range should be OK for a walk-around lens.

I ran a analysis once but subsequently realised it wasn't weighted to take into account when I added new lenses to my collection.

BTW with your above stats wouldn't a 24-70mm or a 24-104mm be a better fit?
 
I just use "EXIF viewer" in my Firefox browser addons. Very easy, just right click a image and you select view Exif Data.

I haven't really played with it, but it looks like you can filter the analysis to take lenses/cameras etc. into account.

If I understand correctly the comparative 35mm focal length (or field of view I suppose) equivalent of the 17-55 on crop would be 27 - 88mm? Which covers the majority of my shots.

Also 24mm on the wide side is also bit long I think on crop.
