Getting to grips with ISO speed and length of exposure . . . but in downloading all these images, I'm pretty sure that I've gone over my quota with Pipex, so . . . I wonder what happens next? Calculating size . . . 15.9MB. Hmmmm, that's not good. I think I'm allowed 5MB. Oh, yes, and I watched 'The Game' again last night. Found the characters look oddly spectral when shot with low ISO speed (say, 50) and an exposure of about 2 seconds. I think that's what the numbers mean . . . These images are quite large. This is just what the camera does and I can't be bothered to crop/resize. I've only just figured out the whole automatic thumbnail thing. Hence, these images here (the thumbnails), they were all created by the camera. I'm not sure if I can specify the size of the thumbnails. Erm . . . and something called a 'Sepia' effect. Anyway . . . I'm sure there was something I was going to say about 'The Game' . . . something along the lines of . . . well, it's not really much of a game, is it? I always thought the nature of any game was not so much the means by which it ends, but rather the enjoyment to be had from playing the game. The quote the clich é (sorry about that (the space) - I'm having ongoing problems with ampersands): it's not the winning that counts, but the taking part. But poor old Michael Douglas . . . well, you know, he didn't seem to be having much fun. He lost pretty much all his material wealth, shot his brother dead by accident and then attempted suicide. Great. So I thought it was a bit silly. Not the film, just the idea behind it, you know? Anyway, I got more important things to do right now . . . One final thing: if your browser can't handle the size of these images, set the view mode to something like 30% or 50% (in Opera, this is usually the second box to the right of the URL window thing). I can't remember right now, but did I ever mention Opera? Surely not.
