Terve vaan!

If you're mobile and don't mind getting cold.. I have a 'jääratapäivä' going on at the end of the month and would appreciate some decent photos (I will be driving...) LMK if you're interested and I can give you more info.

I paid €50 last time, but it was filthy and it was a 24-hr turnaround.

... mine's correct. And 30s with google will tell you far more about me and what I do than I'd really like, up to and including my home address and a contact phone number. Such is life when you have a virtually unique last name...

I have a shot from horseback where it's trying to compensate for rotary motion, resulting in a very interesting psychedlic effect.

I've just had SR on for the "play" in the garage with my new D-Lites and it doesn't appear to make any difference. Well, well?!

Yep. My experience to now is that hand-held, SR works very very nicely up to around 1/250. With a flash it can cause issues.

Strangely enough, I just tested on a 190B at minimum height and see no difference between on or off.

Tomorrow I will have more chance to play, I'll test some more. I was sure I'd seen issues where there was blur for no apparent reason; 2s delay, no-one near the tripod and such like but still blur. Hmm.....

to to rooo to tooo rooooo.... it hasn't been out of the player for a week.

I'm supposed to give it back tomorrow, I don't think I can

Nemo, Cars, Ratatuile, Kung-Fu Panda - great movies. Will be getting the blu-ray versions just as soon as I have a player (and screen) for them.

movies for grown-ups? No idea, haven't watched any in ages.

Put it in manual!

that's (a bit more detailed than I would have gone), but my opinion, too. There is a not-quite random set of noise on many high-ISO images or long exposures and dark frames would see hotpixels off very nicely.

I need to do some experiments on this myself, especially if we get to go to the summerhouse at easter: there I have 0 light pollution and electricity (yay!).
