110/365 Ceiling Squares


Pat, this is one of those grainy ones... But I think if I hadn't used the settings I used then I wouldn't have had a visible picture...

Sometimes for pictures like that I can put the camera on the ground (or a tripod, but that's not usually so good for pointing straight up), set the auto-timer, a long exposure, no flash, and set the ISO to 100 instead of 800.

The usual problems: 1) it can be hard to put the camera somewhere where it'll actually capture something; 2) action is occurring too quickly.

This picture kind of reminds me of:

(I've been trying to put up some of my backlog of photos.)

Oh yeah. One more thing that works is to just shrink the picture. ;) This works especially well with our new zillion-megapixel cameras.
