Beam shots of 9V lamp assemblies

[Paul_in_Maryland]

I've never managed to post an embedded photo before, but I'll keep trying in this post until I get it right.

Here are beamshots of 15 9-volt (9V) lamp assemblies, shot from 10 feet (3.05 meters). My goal was to help CPFers compare the offerings by brightness and beam size. As it turns out, you can't compare brightness reliably because my digital camera (a Fuji F10) didn't let me lock down a single exposure setting--say, f/5.6 at 1/4 second @ISO 200--to use across all shots. In other words, the camera averaged each exposure, making flood beams seam nearly as bright as throw beams. I probably should have gone to Plan B: Shoot pairs of beams, side by side. And I will do just that for my beam shots of 3.7V lamp assemblies.

All shots were taken at ISO 200 at -1/3 stop. (That much I could control.)

I was trying, and trying. The problem was that URL in the browser's address field is NOT the URL of the photo; it's simply the URL of the page that holds the photo. I finally learned, in a photography forum, that I could get the real URL by right-clicking the photo, then copying the URL listed alongside "Location".
