speaking of filling up memory cards, about how long does it take for someone to fill up a 16 gig?

For a Mark II set to RAW, that's approximately 557 images. An afternoon for some, a month for others. :)

I'm selling tickets for the LadyK rollercoaster ride - don't try this at home, folks.

It's possible to put the camera on interval timing on a tripod and just let it run until the card runs out. I was out the other day taking bursts of three or four shots at a time of passing pedestrians (while panning). I hadn't changed the setting away from RAW+jpeg, so the card was recording two versions of each shot. That was a way to use up a card a bit quick.

If you take your shots by a process of see-compose-aim-shoot and one shot at a time, then 16 GB should last for ages.

I tend to carry 3x 8GB cards with me, but in practice I rarely use more than one (800 raw pics) on any single shoot. Depends how trigger happy you get with your camera :)

Had fun last night and succesfully survived all the explosions :)
Weirdly I didn't find it as exciting as I thought - you run around lighting fuses, and after that the explosions don't really have a huge amount to do with you, they just do their own thing... I think I prefer the whole fireballs flying all around and audience clapping business, fireworks don't give me the same adrenaline fix. Still pretty though, and fun to do :) Might try it a few more times and see where it goes.

Anyone interested in offering an opinion (and not voting on my entry? I believe I have lost my mind AGAIN and am considering entering another challenge. I have three images and can't figure out which one I prefer.
If so, please PM me your email.
THANKS in advance.

Replied! Sorry it took me so long, I was folding laundry.

Well, you went with my first choice. I thought it fit. Thanks Kelli. Your guess at location was close, but not quite.

06/21/2009 07:16:05 PM · #2262

I've changed my entry about 20 times now. I finally stuck the numbers in a hat and picked one and went with it. I refuse to change it now, no matter how many times I look at it and go, well maybe... LOL!

06/21/2009 07:30:46 PM · #2263

I'm thinking that I am going to turn off the score. And try to forget that I have entered something. I think that I would stay with this choice no matter what, but there are only a few more hours to go before I can't change!

Oh well, entered something just to enter something. It'll probably suck, but on the bright side, it's not a bird! (it's really not that I set out to photograph birds--it just happens now--even by accident!)

Thanks Rob! There were a lot of great shots in the challenge so I was surprised my photo finished where it did. I've been very lucky lately :)

Now I need to catch up on all the commenting I owe everyone... I'm very behind :(

back to my normal range...and I am aghast at some of the lovely pix I beat in Duotones! Maybe I should just enter shots of body parts more often :-0

Well my high hopes for my zen isn't working out too well...
