Dem Carters | even 🕊🕊 have pride | | Expecto PAWtronum 🐈 | U-NA-GI Dalia was rather off her game today, so she stayed quiet during the first question. As class moved on though, she did retrieve a camera from Professor Sandhu's desk as asked. Man, these things were old! And rather complicated. And she didn't quite understand how these were supposed to help measure the skyglow. Basically, she was totally confused. Not enough to need help or anything, but confused all the same.
She carefully turned the camera around until the part she was supposed to look through was facing her, then held it up and aimed it at the white paper. Of course, she had to move the camera a bit, but the paper finally filled the view. That changed when she had to go looking for the focus dial. She had to start all over when she put the camera back to her eye. But she did eventually get it positioned back to where she'd had it.
Adjusting the focus dial until the view wasn't all fuzzy and was focused on the paper, she pulled her face away from the camera (instead of the other way around) and read the next instruction. Wait, what was an ISO? And was its switch marked as such? Ah, there it was. She adjusted this one to 200 then moved on to the...what? Aperture?
Why were these things so complicated?
While Dalia didn't find anything labeled aperture, she did find one labeled with an f and figured that must be it. Turning it to the 2.8, she followed the next instruction. After setting the image resolution to low, she set the camera down and drew a table on her parchment and labeled it appropriately. Once that was done, she picked the camera back up and got it positioned correctly, then started taking the first set of pictures followed by the second.
Now what?
