Thanx for all your comments! To answer a few: Yes it was horrible lighting. Very dark. What light there was, was a mix of flourescent, daylight, and mercury vapor light. Here's were the digital techno aspect of it blows my mind: I don't know if all digitals do this or not (maybe I never read that far into the manuals of my other two digitals I've owned) This camera you can manually calibrate the white balance for any given light by pointing it a something pure white, basically just like metering off a grey card. Better than using the presets that are available. Seemed to work pretty good.
Wombat, yes it's the breast stroke. Here's one for you with the arm coming over. I didn't post originally because I don't know the kid. Yeah the noise isn't too bad really. I was using 400 ISO film 10 years ago (pre-second generation Superia) that looked worse than these.
Gimper, do not adjust your set. It is noise. Last year I used 400 speed film and needed flash. They said I could use flash except at the start, but I was the only one using flash and felt like a d!ck, so this year I thought I'd behave.
Anyhoo, here's a few more. enjoy!
