Amazon Batteries are good, but I doubt if they are Eneloops.

Amazon also warn that the packaging may change, which could also mean the manufacturer may change I got caught out with Lidyl selling AA's that were only half as good as the previous ones.

Eneloop101.com is the ENELOOP encyclopedia .....

Just messing around with a Firefox extension called FlashGot. It's a bit funny, but without asking it downloaded 45 files Total 10.9MB Sizes up to 605kb for "20244016_1360918662_Seaton Sluice.jpg"

Not sure if that's all there is? If you want I can email you a ZIP file containing the 45 files.

EDIT: The Jpegs are already compressed and the ZIP is about 3% smaller at 10.7MB. I could send it as 2 ZIP files.

If you are in your gallery rather than on an individual image the right Click is still there with the option to Save as.
That just saves the thumbnail. The full size might be in the browser cache?

JDownloader is easier.

Hi Stan, how many images are you after?

The freeware JDownloader can recover them. It's a bit funny to use being written in Java, but quite good at doing the job. Also works for Youtube videos. I've just tried it on two of your files and it works OK.

20229036_1352242173_Autumn Derwent Water.jpg ...... 428KB

20355291_1489753084_Tufted Squirrel10.jpg ..... 188KB

I'll delete the copied files later.

If it's only 6 or so I can grab them and email them to you if you want.

http://jdownloader.org/jdownloader2

It picks up Youtube URL's automatically. Practise on one first. For yours you have to copy and paste the URL of one of the pic. It then finds all downloadable files and you pick from the list. Highlight the one you want and then Right Click and choose start download.

I get adverts for Tea Bags

Probably because I've been searching for a supplier of Thompson's Signature, because my Tesco's seem to have dropped them

I've also been looking at their videos on Youtube....

Ha! Ha! People asking for Pentax to include 4K video and Apple didn't even have a MBP that could edit it

Now that they have I'm sure Pentax will get straight onto it

Even the Canon Fanbuoys are now switching to smaller lighter cameras for video Such as this Zhiyun Crane M Gimbal with a Sony a6300 (Youtube)

EDIT: The Zhiyun Crane can now take 1800grms OK for bigger lenses, but still not good for a DSLR such as a Canon 80D or Poontax

Do UK tourist promoters paint tans on peoples faces

I first got into photography because I admired Postcards ....... I never got anywhere near the artistry. Then I realised that they were geniuses that manipulated the colours of jumpers cars etc. to make them look better after carefully placing people in the composition
