About this photo

This photo was taken by Matt McClain on 2015:08:20 14:32:54. The image has been post-processed using Adobe Photoshop CS6 (Windows), so it's possible that the shapes and/or colors have been modified, although these changes are usually minor and meant to improve the quality of the photo.

The camera used by the author of this photo was NIKON D4S by NIKON CORPORATION, with a shutter speed of 10/6400, a focal distance of 210/10 and an IOS of 800.

Image quaility

A shutter speed of 10/6400 means the sensor was exposed for 0.0015625 seconds. This is a low enough value to guaranty that the image is probably sharp, even if captured without a tripod or if it has moving objects in it.

An ISO of 800 means the lightning conditions this photo was taken in were probably poor. This might be a night or interior photo taken without a tripod and therefore it might have quite a lot of "noise", especially if zoomed in to 100%.
