Accomplished this morning: Slept in, almost missed breakfast, made appt to get oil changed, induldged in a grande caramel frappucino. Mmmm. Still to come: spend an hour at work to tie up some loose ends, then back outside to fool around with the camera.
In other news: after a too-long hiatus, Perpetual Karma is back. Yeah!

“So, what’s up with the exposure on that shot, Krishen?”
It’s a test pic I took at lunch today for the new Extrametrical homework assignment.
If you’ve got a digicam and can set exposure levels/white balance, check it out.. it’s a neat way to get to know your camera a little better. The due date is Feb 25th, so start snapping. There’s no prize or anything — it’s just for fun; at the end Jim (who runs Extrametrical and is a good friend of mine) is going to post the submissions.
And in other news, we’re finally getting past the major development phase at work, the home-work see-saw is going to be approaching a balancing state again soon. 🙂
(For today’s pic, I composed the shot in “Auto” mode, read off the exposure time (1/1000th of sec) and f-stop (4.0), switched to manual mode, set the exposure to 1/1000, and changed the f-stop to 2.0. You might want to change the ISO level too if you have it — I used 200 for this shot.)

It’s been a long, tiring day. Meeting the folks who heard about our Ultimate team through the paper was fun — though we had field trouble again. Off to reset the dryer and then to bed. Sleep well!
