  • OT: Too funny

    Sadly, by the time I found a phone, powered it on, waited for it to boot
    and then tried to point-and-shoot (while driving 65MPH) I didn't have much
    time to compose or focus the shot.

    But, it doesn't seem to *need* much focus. Or, perhaps I obsess over detail?

    <frown> I apparently left the daemon running on my computer so when I deleted my local copy, it dutifully deleted the remote one, too.

    Sorry! <:-(

    Not sure who you're referencing here, but focus is primarily a matter
    of aperture. To put it briefly, if you want the maximum chance of
    everything being sharp, you have to stop down your lens to a very
    small 'hole' as it were (unfortunatley that means a longer exposure
    for the same ambient light, but you have to decide which is more
    important to you in the circs; it's all about trade-offs same as
    everything else. Check this out:
