Old Man in Pienza, September 15 

ISO 400, 55mm, 0.3 EV, Aperture: f/13, Shutter: 1/200

I love this picture because the old man sitting on the bench seemed to be enjoying a traditional Sunday in Pienza, sitting on his favorite bench with its unique iinscription. The lines in the photo are not perfectly straight, but they create good symmetry. The colors of his clothes make him stand out agains the blended colors of the wall and the bench.

CCD (Charged Coupling Devices) and CMOS (Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) are both sensors in a digital camera that change light into electronic signals. CCD sensors change images from analog light signals into digital pixels and are more expensive than CMOS sensors. CMOS sensors use transistors to transfer a charge through camera wires and treat each pixel individually.

CCD - low noise, sensitive to light (more advanced)

CMOS - high noise, need light

RAW and JPEG

RAW data is the original output from the red, green, and blue color pixels after being processed through the sensor, read by the array electronics, and passed through an analog to a digital converter.

JPEG is a further processed version of the RAW image that has gone through Bayer interpolation is modified by a number of camera settings (white balance, saturation, sontrast, etc.) and then compressed in the camera.

Brooklyn, New York - September 11, 2001

This photo is very powerful because it tells a story of where people were or what they were doing on this historic day. In the forefront of the photo we see casual conversation, while in the background we see the tragic events happening in the city.
