Picture of the day

I chose today's picture from the same folder as the last one: the Koln trip from last year.

Re-edited of course. My first rendition of this was blackening out the whole background (which i now find artificial and plain wrong).

I'm not going to be sentimental about this cause i do better with the camera than with poetry. Hope you like it!

Camera	Canon EOS 5D
Exposure	0.002 sec (1/640)
Aperture	f/2.8
Focal Length	145 mm
ISO Speed	200
Exposure Bias	-1 EV

Lens	EF70-200mm f/2.8L USM

I miss that lens :( As i do the 24-70 which i had before it. I swear i'm never selling those if i buy them again.

New recurring article: Picture of the day

Picture of today is actually taken in September 2008 while i was visiting Cologne, Germany to visit the Photokina event. I took this picture of the Cologne Dom (a fancy word for cathedral).

The angel in front of the Dom

Camera	Canon EOS 5D
Exposure	0.02 sec (1/50) (you don't need faster at this focal length)
Aperture	f/8 (b/c with the tokina 19-35, sharpness is only from f/8 down)
Focal Length	19 mm (widest i had.would have used 16 and gone closer if i had it)
ISO Speed	200 (with the 5D, iso 200 is no sacrifice. Had to go to 200 because f/8)
Exposure Bias	-1 EV (picture would have been overexposed at 0 EV, i needed those skies to have texture, not just blank whiteness, also the windows and stone i find are well exposed, but i'm open to critique).
Exposure Program	Aperture priority (it's just how i usually roll).
Date and Time (Original)	2008:09:24 14:24:43 (13:24 local time).
