Well that could be a issue, I like the a55 because as a SLT, it's small and light. Alot of time it will be used for video, which rules out the mk1 5D.

Took these photos last week at Scarborough, amazing the lack of respect some people show the sea, how easy it would have been for one of the people on these shots to have been swept off the prom!

Looks like we picked the right week to go to Scarborough then



Never underestimate the stupidity of the general public.

I love the last one – great capture.

Thanks Minty

Ditto

Anyone use or recommend some close up filters for a Nikon? Don;t really wanna splash out on a full macro lens just yet, but have been reading that some +2, +4 etc filters give good magnification while maintaining decent pic quality - is that right??

Have a look on 7dayshop

final 12 pics to make next years countryfile calendar revealed in tonights programme.
my 3 favourites are..........


best friends
right to roam
and
pulling power.
but all 12 are worthy of a place in the calendar.

Is there a link for that, Cornish?

Not sure whether to put this on here or the Tech thread - feel free to move it BG!

I have a Fuji S7000 camera with a 1GB CF (Type II) memory card which thinks its funny hide things from me.

Have just returned from a two week holiday where my holiday "snaps" tend to be of the collecting reference details for future paintings that are sold to finance the next holiday etc, so I'm not amused by losing around 200 or so pictures of Corfiot villages and such like.

Before I started the holiday I "Erased All" from the media card (not formated, just erased) and set the resolution to 6mp which should have given me enough room for 340 or so photos.

In the first week I did notice one occasion where the camera failed to save a photo and one photo which gave a "Read Error" message when trying to review it, you could scroll backwards beyond that bad image though and still see everything else. The only other point to note was that when scrolling forward from the last image it also gave a "Read Error" message when normally it would take you back to the first image in a scrolling type menu.

During the second week I suddenly noticed that while the image count was still incrementing correctly I now only had around 10 images viewable instead of around 200 but it still continued to save additional images correctly - didn't panic too much at that point because I know that I DEFINTELY hadn't pressed the erase option (you have to confirm several times) and once before in the past I had accidently pressed the "Protect All" option which prevents you from reviewing/deleting them.

Have just done a "Unprotect All" option this morning but can still only see 20 or so images.

Not happy.

So, is there any way to read anything that is on that card, any magical software that I can download that will reveal all of my next three months reference work or is this a write off and do I start to browse the various photobucket type sites to snaffle other peoples reference photos of Corfu Town ?

I knew I should have taken an easel and some paint...

Ah what the hell, just spent £26 on CardRecovery and recaptured 294 images from the memory card so am a happy bunny again.

Maybe this now becomes a Tech thread thing but why should that have happened, why did they disappear when they were obviously there all along, is the card faulty, would it be advisable to reformat it in the camera now or throw it away ?

On the disk you have the files, and you have the equivalent of an address book that says where the files live. Reasons for why the address book gets corrupted vary from the software in the camera is a little buggy through to the card itself is screwed.

Little difference really between "erase all" and "format". In the former it will remove all entries from the address book but leave the files alone. In the latter it will create a new address book from scratch, write it over the old one but leave the files alone. It has more work to do with "erase all".

I would be unlikely to trust that card myself, but it might be worth going down the format route and then trying to fill it with things you don't care about to see if you have confidence in it.

My rule of thumb for years now has been that a storage device lets me down ONCE and once only.

After the recovery process (or abandonment thereof) the card, disc, HD, whatever gets binned.

New Camera

Not so much cloud tonight, pretty good conditions to shoot the moon...

Thats a proper good shot of the moon.

What would be the minimum requirement lense to get a good clear shot of the moon?
