I went rock climbing (indoors) for the first time last night.
It was a lot of fun!

Besides being fun, it's a really good workout for your fingers
and arms, which is useful to counteract RSI from sitting at the
keyboard all day.
Unfortunately, a lot of the photos didn't turn out due to a
problem with the way my digital camera handles certain low-light
situations when the flash is used. Sample:

I think this was caused by chalk particles in the air being lit up
by the flash and then exaggerated by the digital camera's logic
for some reason.
I noticed this on a number of pictures from my trip to Europe,
too (to a lesser degree); sample:

(hmm... I thought there were a bunch of these, but I can't find
them now. Maybe I nuked them all.)
At first I thought this was due to spots on the lens, but that's
definitely not it.
Anyone know how to fix this by tweaking the camera's settings?
I should experiment a bit I guess.
