City - Baltimore State - MARYLAND Country - United States
About
The old (built in 1900) Pratt Street Power Station reflected in the glass wall of the National Aquarium in Baltimore. The power plant, gutted and refurbished some years ago, now houses a Hard Rock Café, a Barnes & Noble, and several other restaurants, shops and offices.
"...Great shot-just one question- Why such a slow shutter speed? ..."
I had my Canon A620 digicam on aperture-priority and set to ISO 50 as ususal. I normally don't like to go over ISO 50 or 100, otherwise the noise gets noticable. So anyway, since the sun was pretty low in the western sky, 1/25 sec was what the camera selected for the f/4.5 lens opening. I had the lens zoomed out somewhat, and there could only have opened it up another 1/2-stop or so.
this shot rocks! Amazing contrast between the old building and the new one; beautiful reflection; the presence of the people brings much points to the final compostion.
