Many years ago we were in France on holiday and I'd just come back from my shower , Raymond was about to go and buy the fresh breakfast croissants so that puts the time about 7.30am We were camped in Saumur looking across the river at the chateau. Raymond came rushing back in to say "grab your camera and come !"
There was a very definite pink mist everywhere down near the chateau - fabulous - I got several pics and afterwards I was told these could not have happened - no sky could be that pink - but it was and I didn't use any PP then - it was a little Kodak P&S !
I'm prepared to believe that David's pinky purple could be correct . It may have been enhanced a bit - but that doesn't matter - it's a gorgeous shot and makes us think about it - the object of the lesson

I well remember losing our dogs when their time came - I don't think I could do it again.They really are part of the family.
Take care

So the card will make no difference to me BUT it's clear that SDHC Cards are being discontinued [ getting very hard to find the smaller cards and for some reason they are now more expensive than the newer SDHC UHS-1 ]
OK will order up 2 of the new variety 8GB cards
Next daft question
Can I use one of the new cards for the Firmware update as I have no blank SDHC cards at present [ which is why I'm needing new cards ] ?

After formatting the SD/SDHC card, copy the fwdc206b.bin file to the route directory of the SD/SDHC card.

To me the new nomenclature of UHS-1 is the puzzle - I've been buying Lexar Pros Class 10 with 133X speed more or less since I got my K-x

OK - I like Lexar and refuse to get anything lower than Class 10 cards now.
BUT have hit a wee snag - which I'm hoping that the genii on here can help with.
What's the difference between these two varieties
8GB Lexar Professional SDHC UHS-1 400XSpeed
and
8GB Lexar Professional SDHC 133X Speed.
the 133Xspeed Card is a good bit more expensive than the 400Xspeed Card
I'm puzzled

No contest for me either, but is that the processing that has done it, or simply the choices made within the different programs by different photographers?
I think it would have to be the same photographger using both sets of programs to attempt to produce the same result, to see which gave the better outcome.
Then we also have Nigel's comment
David has run his through ACR and Photoshop, the industry standard, while I have started with the outsider PCU4, then run the shot through my favorite editor, Sagelight 4, followed by final fine tuning in PS Elements 8. Which will give the highest quality output??

I'll be needing back boots for her next year I suspect.
