I'm over looking & processing these for a while, between my two kids & myself, took over 1900 shots on Saturday:o

Nothing overly exciting, having a 9 & a 14 year old in tow restricts where I wanted to go, never mind. This is probably the best "action" shot I've looked at so far (well, he's got at least 1 wheel off the ground!)

Very cool Chris, did you dig yourself a hole????

Unfortunatly, with no cell phone coverage, couldn't catch up with you guys. We did stages 6, 8, 10 & a bit of 11. Covered a fair bit of ground but quite good fun.

Heaps of cameras around but not as much as at the rugby, never seen so much big L glass. I did a quick count up, there were 14 or 15 photogs there, old guys, younger guys and a couple of ladies, everyone one of them had a 300 2.8, a few with 400 2.8's as well and a few big sigmas. Never seen so much at a game of rugby.

How was Saturday night (or Sunday morning)

ok, my turn - apologies in advance for venting

<rant>for all those who haven't quite got it sorted, here's the process of really stuffing up your workflow:

(background) install CS3 design premium, have no issues for months, then notice the following bug occurring with indesign: clicking a document would not open it, they would only open when dragged into the workspace which was sometimes problematic.


  1. yesterday afternoon - finally got sick of it and tried to repair the installation using my cs3 premium dvd
  2. repair process hung up at about 15% after about 30 minutes, during 'reparing shared components' (repeat several times, FINALLY understand the definition of insanity, stop)...
  3. uninstalled indesign using dvd (40 mins later) - successful. restart computer - successful
  4. reinstall indesign from scratch - same hang error at 15%
  5. uninstall every adobe application en-masse, thinking the shared components were corrupted (1 hour 20 mins later) - successful. restart computer - successful.
  6. reinstall all previously installed selected programs - same hang error at 15%...
  7. panic sets in, i now have absolutely no workflow left, aside from lightroom.
  8. trawl adobe forums, discover HUGE user dissatisfaction with new adobe suite installers... panic deepens
  9. try installing programs one by one. first up, acrobat... installation SUCCESSFUL. reboot - it works! panic recedes.
  10. next attempt - dreamweaver... installation hangs exactly as before. hopelessness sets in. thoughts of "WHY did i start fiddling with this?" and "what possessed me to uninstall EVERYTHING!!"
  11. copy entire dvd to desktop, attempt install from there: "you must insert adobe dvd to continue". disc inserted, installation ignores desktop files and proceeds from DVD drive, same error as before.
  12. try to go into payloads folder and install apps manually: "you must use SETUP.EXE to install this program" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGH!
  13. now i'm on my second-to-last stage of disaster recovery: download every single trial installer from adobe and then install each from desktop with DVD ejected... if succesful, register each with existing activation info.
  14. if this doesn't work, i'm down to the sudden-death round - take the phone off the hook, backup C drive, unplug USB drives, format and reinstall entire system and workspace, push all work back 3-5 days; and and there's no guarantees THAT will work either...
</rant>

Ouch!!!

No the dents don't help.

Indeed 70-200 but maybe not the IS. Some investments mature next year (assuming the companies don't go under) so I may have to increase my lens collection.

Just spent a week in Italy & became good friends with a photographer there. He has the 1D II, and 70-200 F2.8. He was having serious back problems, possibly from carrying this around for at least 4 hours every day. It weighs heaps. Just my 2c that weight can play a role. Nice lens though.

Durrr.... I know how big an 8.2mp raw file is... but at quality 6 you would be down to 800x533, 150kb... adequate :P

I carry bigma, 15-30 and 24-70 as well as the camera in my bag.!! Most times it's not a problem.
