Picture of the day - March 16, 2009

"Chicago skyline at dusk"

Photo of the gorgeous Chicago skyline at nightfall.

The bustling city of Chicago, Illinois has one of the most distinctive skylines in the world, and it is also one of the most photographed. Today's picture by photographer Joe Pena really brings out the true colors and character of this great American city. From the towering skyscrapers to the colorful reflections, there is plenty to like about this beautiful photograph. Mr. Pena used the following camera and settings to capture this image:
    Camera: Canon Powershot S5 IS
    Focal length: 6mm
    Shutter speed: 10 seconds
    Aperture: f/8
    ISO: 80

    Mr. Pena’s long exposure skyline shot is wonderful. The colorful reflections are balanced with great color in the sky. The 10-second exposure also added motion to the plane flying over the city near the middle of the image. Great capture Mr. Pena!

    This is a very pretty picture of the Chicago skyline. This just goes to show that you do not need an expensive dSLR to take great pictures!!

    Very nice, Ron
