About this photo

This photo was taken by Ricardo P Costa on 2012:02:19 15:49:30. 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 DSC-TX9 by SONY, with a shutter speed of 1/13, a focal distance of 443/100 and an IOS of 400.

Image quaility

A shutter speed of 1/13 means the sensor was exposed for 0.076923076923077 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 400 means the lightning conditions when this photo was taken were probably not ideal. This image might have some "noise", particulary if zoomed in to 100%.
