1280x1024 on a 19" Dell CRT. I could run it higher but not at over 85Hz, and at anything under 85Hz I start to feel unwell, so I may have slight photo-sensitive epilepsy, which we should find out when they (The Medics) look for my brain on June 20th.

Found this http://www.stuffware.co.uk/articles/00000001.html, but it isn't the one I remember.

A while back I saw a piece of software that combined position data from a GPS unit with the EXIF data. Don't now recall where I saw it. I think it just read the GPS track log and compared the time & date of the photograph and worked it out from there.

I needed all the streamlining I could muster!

Hi Liam,

I took the shot on Monday. I'm told the ferries weren't running in the morning, but I had booked a late trip (18:30) and everything was reasonably flat by then. Went on the Red Funnel car ferry, as the biking event event does a deal with the ferry company and the campsite. On the boat back I left my cameras in the car boot - then we went and sailed past the QE2. Double Drat!!

It was jolly wet on Sunday! I was soaked after only 500 metres http://www.takeyourpics.co.uk/viewpicture.tlx?albumid=99050&pictureid=4360893 (Warning - that picture was taken by a c@n@n)

Due to a cock-up on the equipment front I only had my 16-45mm lens with me which isn't ideal for this kind of shot. The technical data for the shot was 1/400 @ F8.0 @ 45mm @ ISO100. In the full size shot http://www.ammonyte.plus.com/images/just%20practising%201.jpg you can more clearly see the winchman dangling above the little rock. They dropped him off there circled around and picked him up again.

Yep that's the Needles lighthouse and the shot was taken at the Old Battery http://www.theneedlesbattery.org.uk/

Hello All,

I've been a bit busy recently, falling off mountain bikes on the Isle of Wight (http://www.takeyourpics.co.uk/viewpicture.tlx?albumid=99052&pictureid=4361112), but while I was there last Bank Holiday I saw the coastguard out practising rescues. Not a great shot, but interesting (IMHO) Comment Image

Like the shot a lot. A little pink on my Huey calibrated monitor on XP and firefox.
