Having "something for your birthday" works a treat. I've already used up the birthdays happening about the time the A1 will all be dual carriageway, Lowestoft will have it's third crossing, and no roads will have any potholes

Since this thread has started I decided to make one of my computers "Lightroom Only". Not really working for me. Haven't mastered the art of opening one image and then saving it. I think what I need is a "clean" computer and someone to guide me through from installation to saving the image I would like to keep. For everything else there is photoshop

Only if you like that kind of thing

Thanks Malcombe. That was what I was looking for. It's a good excuse for a walk along the beach not that I needed one. Last time I was up that way the traffic was horrendous as I believe they were goig to get rid of the remains of the power station

I'm sure I've seen an image on the forum somewhere of a wreck at Longniddry. If the person who posted it is on here an sees this can they point me in the right direction to finding it? Of course it may be long gone by now. Thanks,

giving me a couple of weeks to win the lottery

Camera was on a tripod

Thanks for the replies. What I was hoping to do if it works this way is to use the Grip battery until it drops then switch to the camera battery. One thing I would ask for a camera design is the ability to recharge batteries by plugging a charger in. Think this has been suggested before Will start a log of when and which batteries are used and recharged. Pity Pentax batteries are so expensive as I'd rather use them but a couple of third party seem to do the job.

@Bill. not sure how effective the O-ME53 would be as my worst eye has become my best eye since the bleed. Getting injection in the eye every 4 - 6 weeks. Something to look forward too.

D-BG5 arrived well packed and looks brand new. Thanks for an easy transaction.

Because of eye problems I find myself using Live View more than I used to and especially when I have a10 stop filter attached. Live View seems to use a lot more power and it doesn't seem long before the battery indicator is showing depletion, one black bar anyway. I was wondering how far down I should let the battery go before recharging it, or is it worth doing as soon as possible after a shoot. Assume there is no "memory effect" with lithium batteries?
