At the top of the mountain, there were two people standing on the platform of the firetower. One of them was trying to take a picture of the landscape, but the sun had momentarily hidden behind a cloud. Here's the argument I overheard: Mr.1: What are you waiting for? Mr.2: My flash to charge up. You gotta use a flash if the sun's not out. Mr.1: You can't use a flash on a landscape like that, stupid! Mr.2: Why not? Mr.1: The light would never get back to the shutter in time! Jeez.. A lot of people at work disagreed with this very sensible advice. (see org. line below). They kept trying to tell me something about "inverse square" or something... I dunno... Some people... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark A.
