digicamfoolery

the goal: capture a sunset image.
the equipment: a sony dsc-p100 digicam.
the location: bolinao, somewhere.

normal zoom, ccd sensor overload, sun with bright blue vertical streak in viewfinder lcd. hmm. now, i've noticed that at certain settings with the optical zoom at full extension, the image dims -- ok, full zoom. better.

now fiddle with the ccd sensitivity (or is it the exposure time? -- don't remember now)...

...but here it is, a montage of the results as i ratcheted through the numbers of that particular setting on the camera.

methinks the leftmost one on the second horizontal row is the one that looks most like how i remember the sunset.
