Chris - if I lived near to you, I'd pop round to sort it for you, but Cornwall's a bit out of my reach. Hope you get it resolved okay though.

Actually, Axel - we're (sort of) on topic! If you ever get the chance, I'd recommend the Andaman Sea for some excellent u/w photography! If you head out to any of the Koh's (islands), you can capture all sorts of wildlife - in the water, and on land! You might even be fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of a Sea Turtle! I'd recommend Lipeh, Samui, Turatao, and Similan if you ever decide to head there.

At Phuket too, you have the famous Simon Cabaret (a ladyboy show), Fantasea, the Butterfly Garden, the large Buddha on the hill overlooking Kata Noi, and loads of colourful temples - there's a shot in my portfolio here of a temple I took using an Optio. Feel free to have a look, then imagine what you could do with a "proper" DSLR!!

BTW, Kevin (Frogfish) - I was actually based in BKK, but on my free time, I liked to travel around the country. For an idea of what old Siam must've been like, I'd advise a trip to the Sacred Temples at Ayutthaya.

Yes - well spotted!! It's Kata Viewpoint!!

I spent some time working in Thailand, and I most enjoyed Phuket! It's just a pity that the public are not allowed to take photos inside Phuket Fantasea, otherwise I'd have loads of great shots!!

Never having used flash underwater, I couldn't offer you any recommendations, however I did find this link which may be of some use to you, Axel:

Best of luck, and Enjoy your time at the Red Sea!!

Chris - yours sounds like a drivers issue. What operating system have you got? SDHC's should normally be picked up by the computer. Have a look under DEVICE DRIVERS, and if you have a little yellow triangle beside anything, right-click it, then select UNINSTALL. Do NOT delete the drivers though! Once you've done that (if you had to in the first instance) reboot your machine with an SDHC card in the pc's card reader slot - it should pick up the reader, then update any firmware that's required to enable the SDHC's to be read/written.

Maggi - if it is possible to use your camera as a MASS STORAGE DEVICE when connected to your Mac via cable, install a BLANK memory card, then download the firmware update to the camera as your MSD. This will download the firmware as a zip file, so you will need to browse to your MSD, then extract the .BIN file and the READ ME file back to your Mac. The extracted .BIN file should now be around 8.5Mb (check the file properties). Re-format the SD card in your camera, so that there is nothing on the card, then copy the .BIN file back to the card in the camera (as MSD). You don't need the READ ME file to be copied back across, as it is only the .BIN that contains the update. Once you have done all that, disconnect your camera from your Mac, switch your camera off, and whilst pressing the camera's MENU button, switch the camera on. Your camera should now begin to update the firmware for you. Once the update is complete, format the card once more. You can mow use the card as normal.

It is important to make sure that you have a FULLY-CHARGED BATTERY when you do this.

Gary - I still reckon the best concert I saw them is a toss up between the City Of Lights Tour, when they recorded in Paris. I was lucky enough to be there that night!! The other time was seeing them at Glasgow's Tiffany's Ballroom around '81 or '82! The big song on that night was Love Song!! I think is was the Sons and Fascination Tour.

Yup!!.. I'm guessing you're a big 'Minds fan as well??

Gary - pass my regards on to Jim Kerr then! I'm the guy that delivered the contract to his gaff in the centre of Glasgow when the band signed up with Eagle Rock Entertainment in 2000/2001. I've also bumped into him a couple of times at Celtic Park.

Oh!!.. Almost forgot... great band pics!!
