Picture of the day - April 4, 2009

"Palm leaves on blue sky"

Today's photo proves that when it comes to composing a photograph, less is quite often more. To capture this intriguing abstract image, photographer Daniel Cubillas took a minimalist approach when planning the composition. By zooming in on just two short sections of a pair of palm leaves, Mr. Cubillas was able to create a beautiful wall-hanger filled with the classic diagonal lines and complimentary colors. Simply gorgeous!

Here are the camera and settings used to capture this image:
    Camera: Nikon D90
    Focal length: 105mm
    Shutter speed: 1/200 second
    Aperture: f/9
    ISO: 200

    Whenever I see a picture like this one, I always think "I could do that." But mine never seem to turn out just the way I want them. Great job!
