So by some random internet miracle (or just some weird cyber internet hacking system) I have clocked up 37 page views on this blog despite just one post.
16 from the USA and 2 from Serbia, the rest are British.
How are you people finding me?!
Anyway, I picked up my camera and started shooting shiny fruit - because, you know, shiny fruit is always worth a photo.
Despite owning the DSLR camera for about a month now, I am only just starting to fully understand how to set the correct exposure. Taken indoors on manual mode the ISO was 2500. I don't own a tripod so a quick shutter speed was needed (1/80s) and I used a large aperture (f5.3) to let in the maximum light.
I heard that setting a high ISO should be avoidable due to the disadvantage that a higher ISO=more noise but I feel this photo looks sharp enough for my liking. I suppose if I wanted to zoom in on the image in post-production we might begin to see some of that noise.
In other news I handed back Splinter Cell Blacklist to Blockbuster after a week's rental. Brilliant game that is probably worthy of a buy rather than just a rental. Co-op was the most enjoyable mode but the Spies vs Mercs and Single Player were also at a very high standard. Despite this there is one glitch in the Co-op's latter missions that disallows you to progress through the mission - it is very surprising the developers allowed the game to be released with such a major technical error. Nevertheless, a great game that gives a nice change from the typical shooter.
