Depends if you want high or low level sunsets really. At high level head behind the shell garage on the east side of the bridge (south shore). I came over that way last night between 9 & 10 and there were some great skies with the hills behind silhouetted nicely :)

Me and the Mrs were in Keswick a few weeks back and found out the hard way it had gone 'stateside' :( Saw it quite a few (16/17) years back so missed all the newer stuff in the collection. Oh well, trip to Miami it is then!

Silly question, but is this for a laptop?? If so, do you have an express card slot? I bought the lexar express card CF Reader and find it nice and fast compared to my old USB CF Reader. Cheaper too from memory, was about £18

Sandisk had a shuffle around with their name a little while back so it's possible you have an old ultra II and a newer Ultra. If you want high speed, get the extreme but make sure it's the new one at 60MB/s Do you need the speed is a good question, no good paying more unnecessarily. K

I find all the images painfully slow on 6-8 meg connection and it doesn't seem to matter if I use chrome, firefox or safari. Having to wait for images to load is not a good experience I know good things come to those who wait but patience is a virtue I've never quite mastered! Some great...

Well for those with an express card slot, the Lexar one is quick and very impressive on straightforward data transfer. I have found another bottle neck now :( Lightroom's import is slow even with a core i7 and 8GB RAM :( :(

4 more than the card supports sounds fairly quick! Will give that one a try for £18 :) Thanks for your answers guys K

Facetime, cameras, faster processor and a lighter/thinner device are good enough reasons for me to say ipad2. I have two ipads in the house and I am tempted with upgrading one at least. The discounted price of an ipad is also tempting the other way, but will you not be left thinking "What if???"

OK, can I throw something else into the mix here? I have decided the lexar firewire is the way forward, however, Lexar have not and discontinued it! Sandisk then? Nope, they've killed theirs off too. Does anyone have experience of an express slot CF card reader? what's the transfer...

As stated, we are no experts here (OK, there may be one or two) but I see that your wife has grounds for a case of constructive dismissal and this is the line I would follow up with a legal advisor.

In manual, the dial controls shutter speed. Next to the on-off collar, you have a ± button with a small picture of a diaphragm next to it. Holding this button and turning the dial adjusts aperture in manual. A word of warning is that the Auto-ISO setting could ruin whatever you are trying...

There's methods in your theory there Matt, but an additional pointer on diesel angines is the fact they are built to a heavier specification, using pure compression to ignite the fuel as opposed to a spark. This means greater pressure in the internals and therefore needs building up to with...

Well I was considering nipping out and grabbing one of these today. Why? I have the 50mm 1.8 and it's much better for the indoor shots without flash. the 50mm however is a little too close for the size of my living room and if I want pics of the kids on xmas morning then it's either flash and...

Ummmm.... watched 1st series in 3 nights last week, time for series 2 :D

Only good, if a) you are getting a good deal on the kit b) you intend to buy any of the Lens' on offer & c) if the discounted price of said Lens' are comparable. Pointless if they give £100 off when they charge £100 more in the first place!
