the people/trolls on the discuss list can't see your attachments, but i
looked at them and they are easier to see but maybe more blurry? I don't
know.
I was told to take pictures in a different format next time, maybe RAW
format. Also i think x-rays were hitting the camera despite the glass
screen in put in there.
it was a 15 second exposure.
