President Barack Obama’s official portrait was released Wednesday on change.gov. The portrait was taken by Pete Souza, the newly appointed official White House photographer. It is the first time that an official presidential portrait was taken with a digital camera.
Since it’s digital, we can take a peek at the EXIF data:
It was shot Wednesday, Jan 13 at 5:38 PM with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II using a 105mm lens stopped to f/10. Exposure was 1/125, and the ISO was 100.

I’ve been playing with this cool website for the past few days. Tiltshiftmaker.com lets you upload a photo and then automatically apply a tilt-shift effect. It basically makes your image look like a photo of a miniature model.
When your file has been transformed, the site will let you download it. Unfortunately, it also resizes it to 72ppi, so you can’t print from it. However, I found a tutorial on Design Pitstop that shows how to get this same effect using Photoshop. Have fun!
