BEST DIGITAL CAMERA TRIPOD

[06-01] Leatherhead, Saturday 8th March 2008 (16:53), Pentax-M (sic) 28mm lens, Fuji PRO400H film, f5.6 (auto) (New ... well, about 20 years old - a Ricoh KR10x that belonged to Luz and had been sitting in a cupboard unused for years ... The light seals had turned to a smelly black goo, the rewind knob had come off, and the light meter ... well, very, very stupidly, I didn't check it until after the 26th shot of this film, when I realised it was about 1 and 1/3 stops out (which I should have noticed), so was overexposing by that much. From [06-27], the film speed was set to 1000 (for this 400 ISO film), so I just hope the inaccuracy is even across the light range and this "recalibration" works. As you can see, light got in through the back of the camera on this shot (and the next - not uploaded); maybe it was after these I added more brown electrical insulating tape round the outside of the camera (and especially the hinge) to stop light getting in. If it wasn't that, I don't know why this problem stopped. I like this camera. though, so I hope I can get everything working properly ... (What is this car, by the way?)

There are some new speed camera's along Springdale road which measure average speed along the road (and from a closer look, I believe they do an instantaneous speed measurement too).

It's a good thing - people are idiots down that road, and there's a school on it.

I was hesitant to show pictures of the cameras, but as they're average speed, you can't avoid them :)

They're on a 6 month trial at the moment, but hopefully they'll go live at the end of that and people will start getting some tickets...
