About this photo

This photo was taken by Nima Fatemi on 2008:12:11 11:26:00. The image has been post-processed using Adobe Photoshop CS5 Macintosh, 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 D80 by NIKON CORPORATION, with a shutter speed of 1/400, a focal distance of 170/10 and an IOS of 100.

Image quaility

A shutter speed of 1/400 means the sensor was exposed for 0.0025 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 100 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.
