About this photo

This photo was taken by WikiArquitectura - The Architecture Encyclopedia on 2021:12:31 12:24:08. The image has been post-processed using Adobe Lightroom 5.2 (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 iPhone 8 by Apple, with a shutter speed of 1/30, a focal distance of 399/100 and an IOS of 25.

Image quaility

A shutter speed of 1/30 means the sensor was exposed for 0.033333333333333 seconds, which means the image might be blurry unless it was taken using a tripod. Even if using a tripod it's possible that moving objects, such as cars or people walking are blurry.

An ISO of 25 means the lightning conditions this photo was taken under were probably quite good, most likely in the outdoors during the day or with the help of a tripod. A low ISO like this usually translates into a good image quality, without "noise" or other kind distortions.
