I reckon he's trying to build the suspense
or he's immersed in learning SPS3
or it rained and ruined his lenses
or he got zapped by 30000V from a wet AF360 and is lying in intensive care with 90% of his skin falling off

Still hope it went well and we see some great shots, can't beat the look of a woman in white
I was going to say something a little closer to your last comment, but thought it best not to.

Anyone actually know what voltage actually builds up in the capacitors of a flash?

OK so it's obvious, tripping the shutter before focus has been achieved will result in out of focus images So thanks for bearing with me whilst I embarrassed myself with that.

It's still significantly slower and less accurate than the 20D, but I think I can live with it. The SR lets me close down the lens a bit, so I can get in the ballpark of what I could achieve with the 20D, sharpness wise.
AF will be much better with the SDM lenses due soon (same as Canon USM).

On the K10D, not sure about the K100D Super...

It is a fluorine non-stick type coating similar to what you find on non-stick pans. It is on the K10D's and K100D Super's sensors but not on the K100D.

Depends what you want for uploading photos. There are online albums to share like Picasa and Flikr but I don't really like them. You could get your own site hosted but you have to pay for that.

Full sized images are far too large to view on screen in one go. People are also known to steal full sized images. Smaller images can still be stolen but have much more limited use as you can't print them large.

Just my two cents.

I like the 3rd one, if you got that kind of angle with a settlement in that would be great. Watch out for parts of the aircraft in the frame though as it will require cropping afterwards for the landscape.

I think the others just need depth and further terrain to get a sense of scale.

Must be a very good job, and a wonderful part of the world.

I need a couple of slaves to hold up polished gold mirrors for me, I can't find either

My approach to light? My lenses force it to 'there isn't enough getting to my sensor' . Mine, I don't actually have a clue at the moment. I can get composition, Dof, framing, etc, but light still eludes me, made worse by shadows
