    06:45 "Because, well, I have a dark skin and it absorbs a lot of light" Man I remember reading an article on how camera makers were suposedly racist, because they "made" it difficult to photograph people with dark skin. At that time I knew nothing about ISO and stuff like that, but knowing it now, I amazed that the writers did not took the 5 minutes it would have taken them, to get to know why it had nothing to do with racism and all with the physics of light.
