    Re: Your "walk around" camera

    Depends whether it's a trip to the shops or with photographical intent, here. I've always got my mobile on me (3 lousy MPels); the normal bag has an olympus e-500 (+2 lenses) and bronica SQa (+80mm...

    Re: UK-April or September?

    Ah, good plan - I'm envious. Keep meaning to get up there too!

    Re: UK-April or September?

    I'm based in Perth. Late April sounds more likely, as if you're lucky you might get early spring flowers popping up and no midges until mid-June or so, whereas mid-september things will not be...

    Re: Recommended Photoshop "Frame Actions"

    Re: Criticizing a photograph

    Responses starting with "I like" are pointing out their limitations honestly ;)

    Re: pulling HP5+

    Howdy,

    Well, no experience of doing that myself, but http://digitaltruth.com/devchart.html has ISO200, 1+3, 14mins. You could hazard a guess at around 9.5-10.5mins for EI100, perhaps - and test it...
