Oliver Iotcovici - Assignment #3

Shot with a Canon PowerShot S95, 1/50 @ f/2, 6 mm | ISO 100

I played with similar pictures of this pine-cone at different megapixel settings. In this specific case, I thought the finer quality (larger format) was appropriate because the specific detail I wanted to highlight. My concern was that the noise on this busy pattern might detract from the intricate pattern and light shadow effects on the surface. If was taking a wider angle shot, I found that the quality at even half this resolution would work provided I didn't care for this granular of detail.

  1. This is an interesting angle on something you see all the time. Excellent choice on format. Well done

  2. I really like the detail of the pine cone and how you get different that you get because its not a simple straight on shot. When you zoom in on the full shot each little pod has so much detail they kind of remind me of the pattern at a new jar of peanut butter.
