[Ava]

7. i was thinking that too

that whole sister but really ex wife thing is kind of creepy

[ghostsofgiants]

11. Yeah, it is a little strange.

[City of Mills]

But I know what you mean

[RubyDuby in GA]

2. Lord Voldermort? Is that you?

[Ava]

[Ava]

[loveable liberal]

18. Roll Tide!!!!

I dont know anything about webcams.

[Ava]

19. noticed the bear hat in the back eh?

roll tide indeed! only a few more weeks until the first game

[loveable liberal]

21. I never saw the hat.....

It was my secret test to see if you were an Auburn fan. IMO Auburn fans are all jerks! I was just throwing it out there; most dont know they are on double secret probation.

[Ava]

25. i'm a big 'bama fan

i live close to auburn though, so unfortunately i'm surrounded by auburn fans

[nytemare]

20. Whyyyyyyy so serious?

[Withywindle]

22. You look like an anime character!

All you need is a schoolgirl outfit.

[Iggo]

23. No nose?

But how do you smell?

[Ava]

24. ...

[Kutjara]

26. Flash?

I didn't think iSight cameras have a flash.

One reason for the overexposure could be that the camera is metering off the dark wall behind you, rather than your face which is lit by the screen. That would seem to be the case here, since the background seems correctly exposed.

It looks like you're positioned a bit below the camera in this shot. It might therefore be metering over the top of your head.

[Ava]

27. the computer screen flashes white when it takes a picture sometimes

in photo booth... i was wondering if there is a way to turn that off. it's no big deal

[Kutjara]

30. Ahh, I see.

That's just the "Photo Booth-effect." I just had a look on my Mac and there doesn't seem to be a way to turn it off. Like the "swish-click" shutter sound, it appears to be non-optional.

[Ava]

31. yeah, i tried looking around too but couldn't find an option for it

oh well.. thanks anyways

[Kutjara]

34. If you're interested in having more control over your iSight camera...

...I recommend a little app called iGlasses. It lets you play with exposure and effects in ways Photo Booth won't, so you can ensure your pics come out right every time. It also works with any webcam-enabled program (like Skype and even Firefox), so you can look glamorous on video, too.

The app isn't free, however, but I've found it to be well worth the $10 the developer asks. The link to the iGlasses website is:

[Ava]

35. thanks, i'll check it out now

[Kutjara]

36. Let me know how you like it.

One of its nice features is that it doesn't replace the underlying webcam application, it merely enhances it. You still use Photo Booth/Skype/whatever, except now you have a small 'iGlasses" panel that you can use to tweak the camera. Very simple and intuitive.

28. If the lighting weren't as harsh it would be a great picture.

[Ava]

29. i was trying to take a picture of my crazy 'do for a friend

and i ended up looking like a ghost, lol

[Wapsie B]

32. Yeah but if someone could retouch it, damn.

[Ava]

33. lol, thanks

i have plenty of hair days like that.. i'll just have to take one with my real cam next time
