This might be a better way to do this.
Wolverine FlashPac 80GB Portable Hard Drive and Card Reader

link

The Wolverine FlashPac is a battery powered hard drive with a built in card reader to enable you to transfer the contents of a memory card to the hard drive. Wolverine FlashPac 80GB Portable Hard Drive and Card ReaderIt's almost the essence of a single function device. It copies memory cards to the hard disk and that's it. It does the job very well but it doesn't display the images or display the names of the stored files. Of course you can connect the drive to a PC via a USB 2.0 interface and do anything you can normally do with hard disk data files, such as move, copy, view, rename and delete them. When attached to a PC it's simply another system hard drive.

Has anyone tried this wireless SD card in their Camera?

The Eye-Fi Card is a wireless SD memory card for your digital camera. It stores photos and videos like standard SD memory card. But the Eye-Fi Card makes your camera wireless.

Built in Wi-Fi helps you organize and share your memories. Specify where you want your photos and videos sent. Select the Wi-Fi networks it can use. Then just turn on your camera to effortlessly transfer photos and video. No cables, no hassles, no kidding.

There must be at any one time in the city of Leuven, Belgium 50 people with cameras and movie cameras doing what they like to do. They come from every work of life and every country. Police walk pass them and say nothing. My wife has been doing city tours for over 30 years and has never seen any one ever having had a problem taking photos or videos. That goes for Brugg, Gent, Brussels, Antwerp and places in between. I have been in France many times and never had any run in with the police about what I am photographing, along with Luxemburg and Germany. But you can always find a story in England about someone looked at by the police for taking photos and questioned as to what they are doing, the same in the U.S. It is very sad that both England and the U.S. are moving in this direction to pick on people who love to photograph. No matter whom they are. White, Black, Brown or Yellow or where they come from. Like I wrote before there has been no evidence that any photos were ever taken by terrorists before any attacks.
So at what point do you say enough is enough with the police harassing you? I would think they would better spend their time going after real people that break the law and not the poor photographer who just wants to take his photos and be left alone.

Why do people with pro cameras and telephoto lens get targeted? Is there some written law that said a pro camera and telephoto lens person is a pedophilia or terrorist?

I took my K20d and my 6 year old Tamron 28-200 and this being the first time I tried to shot something moving fast. Most of the shots came out OK. The problem I had been when I moved the camera to stay with the person on the BMX some of the shots did not focus 100 %. If I was in a fixed spot and shot the person on the bike coming at me as he or she went around no problem. But If I started to swing the camera around to get the next shot my K20 had a hard time with it. I tried both Green and Programmed mode had the same problem. Anything I can do to fix the problem of a quick focus on an object that is moving? Better Lens or change something on the camera. Or just more time doing sport photography?

I find it a great reference book I have in my library.
Where or not it can be called an artbook is up to you.
He takes you through how to take great glamor photography.

So if you are looking at a David Hamilton,Helmut Newton etc etc and you want to match what they have done. I grab my Digital Boudoir book and look how it is done in a digital way.

I still do analog too. Have done some bromoils also with my analog photos.
Have not been able to do the same with Digital to get the same effect. But that is getting away from what we are talking about.
