It's a' local' holiday in Glasgow.

Some places open , some shut , bus timetables not quite normal , and the rain has just started again

OOOOOH Charlotte - just had a thought

FNAC - don't their sales start soonish - keep an eye on their website - you may well end up with some good bargains in Memory Cards that way

from the spider

I'll agree with you there but there's no need to make this happy thread into an argumentative place , which is exactly what his intention was

Bet we don't see much of him now

Back to my packing though clothes are more or less sorted , still to decide on the REALLY important stuff - what lens /es go with me ?

Glad we could help you and I'm very glad you have managed to ID and deal with the problem

have to say I thought the splashes of blue on the wings were gorgeous

Don't rush getting new memory cards - look around for the bargains , don't go for the cheapest you can find - they may be problematical

think it will hold water ?

Hmmm - interesting ploy that

Ummm - I would remind you that this thread [ the pointless one ] is not supposed to have anything remotely photographic related on it .

Perhaps you would like to review what you have entered and perhaps modify it a wee bittie ?

YEUCH

I've got to go out in about an hour to meet the folk I'm going to Lourdes with - so guess what it's now doing ?

I wonder if , having looked at the EXIF on the gallery shots , the problem is that your lens is not recognised - hence all the fstop, Aperture Value are marked as undefined as is your lens

first of all - what AA Batteries were you using ?

Alkalines are NOT a good idea - Don't know what your manual says about them but the K-x does say they are not recommended for use, using them except in emergencies or when checking camera functionality.

Most folk Have Sony Eneloops as rechargeables . I'm using Energizer Lithium Batteries - yes single use not rechargeables - but as I get almost 1000 pics out of a set , as long as I always have a spare set in my bag I'm OK .
