Andrew Ang: Buffalo, Indonesia

Photo: Buffalo in muddy water

This picture is of a buffalo cooling down in muddy water on one of the Komodo islands in Indonesia. One can tell that the photographer made good use of the aperture or diaphragm settings. The photographer focused directly in on the eyes of the buffalo, leaving everything in the background, including part of the buffalo's horn blurry, as it protrudes further into the picture. Therefore, one can tell that the aperture was relatively small, like 4 or 2.8. However, considering this is a close up photo of the buffalo, there is still dimension to this image, displayed by the buffalo's horn extending far back into the picture. This picture is great because of the smart use of aperture settings to get the focus on the main part of the image, which is the buffalo.
