miscellany from today...

the Coolpix 4500 has built-in multiple exposure previewing. it's kinda neat, but it's a "Scene" in the camera - meaning that it puts the camera in Idiot Mode. fun to play with, though.

went over to the rink again with Mike... the nice thing about a digicam that isn't a DSLR (and about the only nice thing) is that panning is really easy, thanks to the complete lack of viewfinder blackout. there's that whole pesky 'parallax error' thing, but so it goes.

Alas, poor Nikon, we hardly knew ye. the iris actuator has burnt out.

Today, we had an exercise in thematic photoillustration. That's a fancy way of saying "here's an office supply; give me an interesting picture in fifteen minutes." I got a key and the word "access".
