| I obviously set the brightness a bit too high for this photo. After getting permission to take a photo like this one from the manager, I set the camera (a Sony Clie NX70V handheld computer) to take a photo in ten seconds, and positioned it up high on a book shelf that didn't have any books on it. The angle of the cameras lens seemed to be appropriate, although it wasn't possible for me to see what image it was taking from the position where I was standing (I would have needed a footstool or something like that in order to see the image). I then tapped the shutter button, and jogged out to a place among the other customers. It then took this photo. I can be seen behind (and to the left) of the woman wearing a white blouse who has what looks like a pair of sunglasses hanging around her neck. The book I quickly picked up was one about the golf star Tiger Woods. I'm holding the book in my left hand. |
