I took a lot more movies during this convention than before. Mostly because I already have pictures of Ms Leick and wanted some motion, to show what she does on stage. Unfortunately, the movies are *very* dark. 1/15 s shutter speed is awfully fast unless there is a lot of light. Now I know why movie sets have big and hot spotlights. When I learn iMovie better I'll try to brighten up the movies a bit.

Many of the pictures also came out dark. I used PhotoDeluxe to brighten them up a bit. Then I thought better of it and only brightened up the smaller pictures, otherwise you lose data. But a half dozen of the originals have been brightened. The pictures and movies should be in chronological order, judging by their creation dates.

The USS Defiance is a Star Trek and Science Fiction club in the Sacramento area. They provided volunteers for the convention and did an alright job keeping things in order. But the volunteers were a bit lax at times and let the crowd get away with a bit too many things. Some people complained about that, and the same people have complained when the convention workers have been too strict. You just can't please some people. [Full]
