Some Mac owners foolishly run Bootcamp off one drive partition, and infect the other drive partition with the windoze virus... for some inexplicable reason...

lexar has a recovery program you can try for free, to see if any images can be recovered, but it bills you for the software if you want to actually recover them....

Yesterday I met an LA Film maker/Director.
Having done a shoot for a Filmtraining Manitoba seminar. I worked with two teams of actors and directors, do film two scenes.
Well, an LA producer described two shots from two different scenes I shot as "Iconic" ... I had really good teams with very creative, talented people. What fun. What a talented bunch of people I had to work with.

buy a lowepro hip pack... or a collapsable lunch cooler... and put it inside your backpack. also a plastic bag big enough to put your camera in should it rain.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but here in Canada... the Children's Aid society has become what the priesthood used to be... the last frontier for child abuser to seek opportunities to exploit and abuse defenceless children. They get unquestioned support of the police, the government and control over children and thier parents. They get to hide their crimes behind walls of secrecy where laws meant to protect the children's privacy actually serve to protect the social workers and the children have no voice or get smeared as "Trouble makers" or "problem" children if they try to seek help. Here in Manitoba where child suicides and deaths of children in foster care are very high, there has never been a social worker charged for abuse or neglect, or dereliction of duties, even in circumstances where a parent would certainly be arrested...
Government sanctioned child abuse... it is criminal.

let us dispense with the term rules and use instead "Formula" there are formula's that lead to higher ratios of successful images.
I don't care much for rules... it seems to me the kinds of people that demand rules be put in place are usually the first ones to break them, anyways.....

a swab and some alcohol should work them loose....

Well what work of yours I've seen certainly is worth stealing...lol!
hopefully a decent paycheck comes of this for you!

You can't win for losing.
I get the "Wow how come none of these images are on your website?" factor when showing work to clients...
to which I answer "If you don't want it stolen, keep it off the net".

The irony is... I wonder how many prospects I lose if the only images they see are the few I have published...?
At least they are offering to pay now that they are caught!

Polaris meters are good.

hey JR it was exactly your review of the kr (I had pretty much dismissed it, as the kx seem like a better value if all I wanted was video) combined with a one day sale that placed the kr body at the kx's price point... we got a tremendous deal on this camera.
the k10 is weathersealed, so, yeah that is why it is odd that I grabbed the kr as opposed to the k10...
Maybe because it is new, maybe, but I'm glad I did.
And yes Cayman, in moderate to good light, that lens does lock on very quickly. at the wide end it is very sharp, I've sold 16x20's off it many times, years ago. at the tele end it is a little soft, but as you say, only noticible if the film being used can out resolve the lens, 800 speed film was about right... but the kr I think is well matched for this lens...I suspect if the weather had been nicer and more sunny, the camera would have used higher iso's and maybe then the lens at 200 would be showing it's weaknesses more.. what I mean is when we look at an image and the centre appears noticeably, obviously sharper then the edges...
I think if Gerri tries this combo out for candids, we will wind up buying a second kr rather than a superzoom lens for her.
