Panorama stitched in PS with their own auto stitching program and my work colleague tipped me to use the healing brush for fixing the blending of the sky. Taken in Ireland. :D

Claire. UPS standard shipping for me was about £9, total price £30.12

Pete, how did you get that price? It's quoting a minimum of over £20 for me at the moment!!!

Hmmm... Dunno. Maybe they had a sale on at the time. PM Bruce about it.

Right.. not going to be caught short like I did last weekend. I just ordered 4 new 4Gb CF cards and a spare battery.

Sounds like you ran out of both Pete?

Yep.. Battery finally died about 90mins before I wanted it do. Taking it out and putting it back in again gave me enough juice for a couple of group shots at the end of the day.

I forgot to charge up my portable HD/card reader, so that ran out of juice too. I was left with one 4Gb card, a 2Gb and a 1Gb. Every time I ran out of everything, I had to go back to the laptop and fill that up with all the shots.

With 5 4Gb cards and the portable 80Gb card reader, I should be fine (I was filling up the reader from the 4Gb and it was copying too slowly too (I filled up the rest of the 3Gb before it had stopped copying).

Sounds like you had a good weekend. How long do you think it will take you to go through all the shots - culling and processing?

The vast majority of the shots will be archived unprocessed. I knew that I'd have a relatively low keeper rate and a high number of duplicates simply down to the nature of the weekend (and the fact you see the same car go past at least 50 times). I'll go through some of the shots tonight and simply delete all the ones that aren't totally sharp, then I'll keep the ones that have any merit.

That's really a great photo, Claire. I love how the blue of the brides bouquet both dominates and compliments the surroundings, and centres the entire composition.

Moooorning everyone...I'm off soon to the "on call" dentist who'll probably charge me my firstborn just to smooth my broken crown down (enough to "hold me over" for my own dentist) on a holiday. sigh...I DO hate dental issues...

TD, that dremel is sounding better and better...

Claire, very lovely shots...that pano is fabulous!

Yoda, you're welcome. And we only have one 2x tc. We don't find that we use it too often (I DO use my 1.4 very often though).

It was over two days. About 1,000 shots on the first day, 500 on the second. They soon get eaten up when cars are whizzing past you!
