Thanks, Stefan. But wouldn't a very low, yellow-ish natural light (reflected from all that woodwork) mimic tungsten?From what Smeggypants has shown it's a problem under tungsten light so natural light should be okay i guess.
Just take a photo with the WB on daylight, that way you can judge very well the colour of the light.
A slight colour tint isn't that bad, just try it at home tonight so you can see how orange tungsten really is.

John has it.The click is probably the focus drive pin engaging.
The focus-shaft disengage when you set the camera on manual focus, so when you go back to AF your here the shaft clicking when it engage.

And using the jpg versions to catalgue keyword, rate etc, means I am working with 400Kb files instead of 20-30Mb files and thus are much quicker and efficient to work with on the computer
Well here comes the trick... lightroom already use jpg previews for the catlogue And using the jpg versions to catalgue keyword, rate etc, means I am working with 400Kb files instead of 20-30Mb files and thus are much quicker and efficient to work with on the computer
It automatically make a preview and throws it away if you don't use it.
Under Edit > Catalog Settings > file handling you can change the settings

What do you want to shoot with the lens?
It seems to me the 70-200 or 200mm prime both serve a different purpose.

I also convert to DNG but from PEF and it saves quite a lot of room and photoshop loves DNG, so you can directly open DNG files from lightroom to Photoshop without the need to convert them to Tiff or PSD.
It's one click and it directly opens, or one click to Panorama or HDR in PS.
The only thing i don't do is the JPG files, it seems a lot of work and takes up extra room on your disk.
I only use the DNG files and when i do something special in photoshop or it is a very good photo i will also save it as PSD but never to jpg.
For family, friends and internet i do export to JPG but once they have been used i remove them.

One thing I have noticed though, since getting and using the Sun Sniper, I have managed to cross the bunting twice into restricted areas at shows. Just stepped over and started shooting. Officials seem to think that because you look like a pro carrying three cameras and waring a harness, you must be.
Hiw do you like the sunsniper, the shop here has them too but ain't sure about them... the luma looks better to me but are also more expensive and so is blackrapid...One thing I have noticed though, since getting and using the Sun Sniper, I have managed to cross the bunting twice into restricted areas at shows.

Like said it's to "kill" the ambient light when shooting outside, in the studio 1/180 is more then fast enough.

I've just sent off a couple of mails asking both BlackRapid, and Sun-sniper about compatibility with QR plates. It will be interesting to hear what, if anything they have to say. I am sure I'm not the only one to have this problem with their straps.
You can't use a QR plate, see below.I've just sent off a couple of mails asking both BlackRapid, and Sun-sniper about compatibility with QR plates. It will be interesting to hear what, if anything they have to say. I am sure I'm not the only one to have this problem with their straps.

Back in the day instructors had to teach slowing down the car by using the gears or easing off the gas pedel, smoother and more fuel efficient drive. Now we teach slowing the car down in whatever gear your in by using the footbrake as this shows the driver behind you the car is slowing down.
So for example if we're in a 40 zone going to a 30 then we brake to 30 not ease off gas or go down a gear as this doesn't show the brakelights. Another example is say the lights are red as you approach and your travelling at 30/40mph in 4th gear then you brake and stop in that 4th gear, awaiting for the car to stop, handbrake up and back into first ready. Back in the day pupils would of been taught going to third then 2nd and eventually first as the car slowed down. 2 examples of how different lessons are now and the techniques the examiner is now looking for and also what he's watching for you not to do.

At least 2 years ago.
Handbrake up and staying in 4th gear at a traffic light, that would be a fail here most likely.
I've learned to slow down in the gear you're in untill the engine begins to struggle and you need to use the clutch. Then when you're at a complete stop i had to put it in 1ste gear and with the clutch "almost" on so you can accelerate faster/sooner. Even at small hils/slopes we had to play with the clutch so the car didn't roll back...
btw i wouldn't mind that you need to do a new theortic (refresh) test when you need a new driving licenses.
My grandpa for example know nothing of the new rules...

Just giving the whole "discreet bag" thing some thought but doesn't it seem more likely that you'll stand out from the crowd with a messenger bag rather than backpack? It's commonplace to see people on holiday with backpacks so are you actually likely to attract more attention with a more "unusual" bag??
I do see in Rotterdam that many walk with a crumpler bag, and i mean not the photo types as far as i can see.
A bag like Lowe, Kata and Tamrac might not stand out but if you see such a bag you just know there is a camera inside.
Billingham is also such a bag so it depends on what you want preciesly.
