Old machine photos

It was thus said that the Great Mike Kenzie once stated: Grab a solid colored towel or sheet for the backdrop. It cuts down on background clutter and focuses the attention to the machine. Also, think about getting a tripod for the camera. Since digital cameras are pretty slow (compared to regular film) the stability a tripod affords makes the images sharper. Here are some shots I did of my laptop (a Toshiba T1900C): http://www.flummux.org/toshiba/ (the full image is 1984x1488, the half is half that size in both directions, the quarter one 1/4 the size in both directions, the thumbnail is the size I picked for thumbnails). You might also want to play around with various settings---I didn't know about the "WB" setting (forgot what it stands for)---it sets the camera for different lighting temperatures (indoor, bright sunlight, indirect sunlight, flast) and that does make a difference (the color in the images above is a bit off since I didn't know about them with I took the pictures). -spc (Look closely at the screen---you can even make out what I'm running on the system 8-)
