Your question is basically senseless.

The properties of any image will depend on numerous factors such as the camera, the camera settings, the lighting, etc etc and all images could be different.

You are referring to the EXIF data. The fields included in this data varies between camera models, so there is no set 'list'. Some software programmes also strip some or all of the EXIF data from images.

Even with the additional information, the question is still vague. What are you trying to do, and what do you want the information for. That my help. Any photo software will show you the details of a photo.

What types of properties are you talking about? You'll have to be more specific.



***EDIT***



The "technical stuff" also changes with every photo. Why do you need the information?
