[edit] re: Blickensdefer typewriter
Well, I did crop the image. That might have hurt the image quality. But moreover, it wasn't easy for me to shoot; the shutter stayed open for 1/6 second, and I didn't have a tripod. I could have tried tricks like increasing the ISO, but I guess that just didn't occur to me (I'm an amateur photographer, so sometimes I do stuff like this). Plus, there was a glass pane seperating me from the display. I also uploaded an uncropped image to http://www.flickr.com/photos/ian_ruotsala/73674528/in/set-1522697/, which is about the best shot I was able to take (click on "all sizes" to see it full-sized). I could try visiting again, with a tripod, the museum where it was displayed, but I don't know if they would allow the tripod. Xen0phile 01:11, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
