About this photo

This photo was taken by Michel DENANCE on 2015:02:07 18:47:59. The image has been post-processed using Adobe Photoshop CC (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 Canon EOS 5D Mark III by Canon, with a shutter speed of 13/10, a focal distance of 17/1 and an IOS of 200.

Image quaility

A shutter speed of 13/10 means the sensor was exposed for 1.3 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 200 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.
