Photos !!!

Finally, got the enthu to create nice thumbnail pages and post my summer's photos on the net. A nice thumbnail and html generator of course helped matters quite a bit. Some photos, specially the hiking and Vienna ones are real nice. Check them up at http://www.cs.rice.edu/~santa/pics/

But, again faced this unknown strange problem. All my French Riviera photos came out too grainy. I was thinking maybe this was because it was a fuji film, and I did kodak photo development - Amit confirmed that he had asked a technician about it and it can't be the case. Or, maybe it was a high speed speed(yeah, ISO 400. Normally use 200 but this was a left over film) - but, it was a bright sunny day, and should not have happened. The third option which I think is the case - the film was passed through the x-ray machine at airport. It affected the film; high speed films are affected and not the low-speed ones - I read it somewhere. Hence, my ISO 200 photos came out fine. Films should always be kept in hand bags, where lower intensity x-rays are used.
