Studying Pokemon.

Before going out to see Transformers.

Can they not make the movies that long nowadays? Transformers clock in more than 2 hours. The first hour or so is pretty OKAY, then it just goes downhill. All the movies are getting longer and longer. Do people even edit their movies anymore? Or they just push everything onto the screen.

I totally forgot I can set the Flash manual even when an AIS manual lens is mounted.  I just have to set it via the Menu system.  I think the flash exposure on the bottom picture was pretty spot on.
