Camera trouble and the magic camera

5938-s.jpg

My camera is acting up. I first thought it was a spot on the lense, but I am starting to belive it is something else, maybe a grain inside the lense.
The strange thing is that it only shows up on blue sky backgrounds, but are as good as invisible on white (as far as I can see from the picures I have taken so far). Was trying to clean the lense last evening, while taking a panorama shot of the view from my hotel room, but couldn't fix it, no matter how much I cleaned the lense.

Oh, if anyone have a good tip on good photo-stitching panorama software, let me know. Tried out a program this morning, but it sucked big time.

At least my camera isn't as bad (in this case, I would be tempted to say unfortunatly) as the magic camera, take a look at what you can achive with a little water and blow drying of a Nikon Coolpix 990: Waterlogged Camera Turns Magic

Nice day in SF

Its been a really nice day here in San Francisco. Got up around 8.30, and took my time. After that I did a walk-about and just ended up at the Yerba Buena gardens, a really nice place in SF. Had a better sallad-lunch from Starbucks (amazingly), and tried something new - Ginger Lemon-lemonade :-) It was a nice and healthy lunch. Met a photographer and ended up chatting for an hour, then got back to the hotel and uploaded my pictures from the day to the laptop. :-) If the supper is as good as the rest of the food I have had today, then this day will be a nice and perfect sunday in San Francisco. :-)
