What is the charging time for the Li-ION batteries used in the K10 and K20?
And is there a 12 volt charger available?
I am considering the K20 or a K10 but on holiday we don't have electricity in our tent. A do not feel a lot like leaving the charger in the kitchen of the camping site overnight to charge the battery.
A 12 volt car charger would help a lot.
On my boat I use a small inverter that kicks the 12v upto 240v.

I can then charge my camera, laptop, mobile phone etc. etc. using their standard mains chargers.

Small inverters are very inexpensive.

Fantastic colour and definition.

I would not worry about the missing tail or trailing foot.

I really like the effect.

No. 1 is my favourite.

How much do they differ from the images as taken :

Dan,

Is that an original colour for a Vitesse :

Most that I have seen have been in pastel colours.

The ferries only sailed under the Sealink British Ferries flag between 1985 and 1991 as pre '85 the ferries sailed under Sealink and after '91 they became Wightlink.

Amazing what you can find on t'internet

Wow, that is impressive and narrows it down a lot

The great thing about digital photography is the complete record you have of where, when, what with etc.

Steve,

The shot was taken many, many years ago from an inlet at the most southerly point of Lymington.

The LH ferry departing Lymington is waiting in a slightly wider part of the Lymington river for the inbound RH ferry.

Almost no cropping apart from trimming a bit off the stern of the RH ferry to obtain a nearly symmetrical image.

Apologies for the poor quality of this image

It has been scanned in @ 600dpi from a less than perfectly printed 6" x 4" colour print.

The original was taken on my Super A or ME Super probably with my Sigma 75 - 300.

I could not sort out the strange colour of the print, so converted it to B & W.

Despite the quality issues, it still amuses me as an image
