Hi Mark. You are uploading your images to the Critique Gallery. This choice automatically includes modifications being enabled. It cannot be opted out of.
The reason for this is that the volunteers in the dedicated critique team like to be able to show you what they talk about, rather than just explain it. They find it time saving and more informative than just describing what they think.
You have a couple of options. Continue to load to the Critique Gallery, but in the image description mention that you do not want modifications, or alternatively, upload to the regular gallery where you can choose whether or not to enable mods.
The 'exif' information is embedded in the image files and includes ISO, shutter speed, aperture setting and metering mode, etc. You can include this info during the upload process together with the camera and lens details.
