While we still have a handful of days until Obama’s inauguration (also Grandma’s birthday) on January 20th and the President-elect’s office has released his new official portrait. As the first presidential portrait taken with a digital camera and the meta-data embedded in the photo we can see that it was taken with a with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II on January 13th, 2009 at 5:38 pm with no flash, using a 105mm lens stopped to f/10 at a 1/125 exposure, with an ISO of 100 by newly crowned official White House photographer Pete Souza (via). Photo geeks will be very exited about that information and for everyone else; it’s a nice photo isn’t it (below)? Better than the official photo for George W. Bush (right) at the very least!
