Do batteries hold a full charge from new? Or do they have to be 'conditioned' first at all? Can't remember...
Batteries improve with a few charging cycles, after which they work at optimum for a very long time before finally failing to hold a charge and dying.

Thank you, George, that makes better sense. Just goes to show what a difference a couple of letters can make, especially when coupled with a very long day....

Ah well , back to my sense of stupor now.

The reason I don't shoot JPEG. I'll keep everything and shoot a lot more without thinking anywhere near as much.
It must be late or I've had a hard day, but I'm not quite sure what you mean? Sorry if I'm being dim tonight, but can you explain that?

If you have the space to keep all those RAW images it is fine.
One of the reasons I shoot in JPEG.

I actually keep every shot taken, not because they are all winners but because I never know when I might want part of a particular image for a montage, or even to make a point in a talk.

In the latter case, even a poor shot could be useful if it illustrated a point effectively.

Competition is good - it improves your photography very quickly.

And yes, it is a panoramic shot Lilly.

I have now tried again, using a different hosting service. Can you see it now?

If you can't see an image, try refreshing the page.

EPZ suffered a huge problem on 25th August, so there may well be glitches.

In general, EPZ also does not support hotlinking, so although it might work to here, being a sister site, it won't work to anywhere else.

I use pBase for hotlinking, but there is also Photobucket and probably there are many more.
