I think we are all fed up with the weather

It's been grim all day - bursts of really heavy rain , dark and 'orrible - till now - when it's windy ++ and sunny !!

That , I would think, is the photo of a lifetime

To get 5 of them in exactly the same attitude at the same moment is no mean feat

Sadly no longer Pupils do not seem to be able to write according to any of the known rules now - even the Universities complain and have found that they need to run introductory classes in the English language now - and these are not for incoming students - they are for our native born Scots !!

With you 100% Doctor Jeff

My daughter is a product of Scottish Schools [ if George is reading - bear with me ] and learnt grammar and sentence construction at School and work was returned if the meaning wasn't crystal clear . She learned the hard way .

She went to London and was stunned to be turned down for jobs because she didn't have an O grade English - she had a Higher at an A band pass.

Now what does she find herself doing - re-writing manuals to ensure that they say what they are meant to say - so that Unions cannot challenge the manual and say " Well of course that's not the correct interpretation - it really says ... "

Even the 'shop floor workers ' are appreciating her work [ She is actually a Regional Operations manager ] and frequently tell her so.

She is even writing User Guides to their Software manuals for an area in which she has no responsibility , so that they are in plain clear easily understood English - and she does not dumb them down !

I really cannot understand why people do not make sure that anyone can read/understand the manual they write .

That is a very valid point Gwyn

I've been going back over some old Photos - many of which were taken on P&S Olympus and Kodak cameras not to mention a more recent HP Photosmart one and they have all had basic info in them . Most of them were originally in iPhoto 08 or even earlier

The Fuji S5000 actually managed to give more detail - but it was a better camera Actually I have to admit it was a shame that it finally turned up it's toes on me - it would have taught me a lot .

here's a pic I took recently - not been posted here before

Bevnel - I'm bemused by this problem of yours.

I'm using a K-x and iPhoto 09 . My system is Snow Leopard fully updated to 10.6.4

In iPhoto I go to Photos --> extended Photo Info and get the following

Image - width , height, original date , digitised date
File - name , size , modified , imported
Location - never seen any entires in this as yet
Camera - maker, model, software
Exposure - shutter, aperture, maximum aperture , exposure bias, exposure, exposure index, focal length, distance sensing, light source, flash, metering, brightness, ISO

Some of the options on here are not normally showing any information - Location, max aperture, exposure index, distance, light source, brightness .

I shoot , at present , in jpeg - though this will probably change this year.

back to normal here as well .

Most odd

Been playing up with me tonight - and it's the only Site doing that.

Every other Site I'm using are the usual - almost lightening fast .

Tonight here , it's very much slow, slow, quick, slow, s l o w, s l o w e r than death , quick quick, slow.

It's very very irritating.

Oh - I'm using both FF and Safari - and the machine and Browsers are fully up to date .

Hefty - I don't think that PhotoMe works on a Mac - and the OP uses a Mac .

Have to say that I get full details about my settings etc in iPhoto without problems
