Hi Folks, I'll freely admit that I'm very inexperienced when it comes to indoor photography, so apologies in advance! I'm UK based so most of my shooting is outdoor clay pigeon. I recently had the opportunity to fire some more exotic firearms on a visit to Poland. The range we were visiting...

I do tend to favour lithiums over rechargeables as I've found them too inconsistent, although I haven't really given Eneloops a proper tryout yet.

Hi folks, Just a brief update; I contacted P&G and they sent a courier to collect the flash (early March). They contacted me last week to confirm that they would settle up for the new flash. It was a very weird conversation as the person who called me said that the batteries leaked as a...

Thanks for the link, sounds like a recurring problem.... That's covered, I had to buy a 270EX at Heathrow :bang: Cheers Dave

I'm 99% certain they came from 7dayshop. There's an outside chance I might have bought them from Tescos if I needed batteries quickly but I don't recall having done that recently. They say "made in EC" on the body. Thanks Chris, did they ask you to send the mouse back? Cheers Dave

I'm finding that some of the Adobe help for PSE 8 is completely wrong :bang:. I just tried to create a Metadata Template following the Adobe help screens and it bears no relationship to reality........ I've finally managed to create a template (using the Export button NOT the triangle in the...

I bought the Delkim twin charger plus plates. Gives you a car charger as well. The LPE6 plates were in short supply a month ago, not sure if things have improved. HTH Dave

Right I'm off out for a handbag :D. If I could fly with a regular carrier I would, but it looks as though the economy airline is the only option. There's a small problem there that I'll have a bag full of fishing gear (and I mean full :naughty:), plus a rod tube. I'll just stick with the Pod...
