Sorry, but the EXIF data is different for each photo I took. This was a composition, meaning I used many pictures and then grouped them in GIMP.
Most shots, though, were at f/5.6, ISO 200, and from 1/2 sec to 1 sec exposure, using my 70-300vr at around 300mm.
What I have heard about shooting the sun is that it can damage your sensor, so you wouldn't want to do it if it were completely bright. I've only photographed one solar eclipse, and I shot it through a welder's mask.
