Kiwi - GKPE - New and Improved General Ramblings (5)

My Sigma 10-20mm was damaged while travelling in Nepal recently.

For the purpose of travel insurance I'm just wondering where I can get a quote to get it fixed. I'm based on the West Coast.

The lens was dropped and the lens doesn't mount the camera properly and the aperture settings no long work.

Cheers

Mate, last weekend we stood like a bunch of idiots in a house that probably had AIDS, falling over each other's shots, it doesn't have to be some big cool event that's all well organised or publicised to take good photos.

I realise that, but you did have models to point your cameras at. I know I can simply go for a wander in the forest and snap birdies, or go to the beach or whatever, but 1, I don't really have the time to walk around looking for pretty scenes etc and 2, landscapes and all that simply isnt inspiring me. I am wanting to practice either action shots or model shots or lighting really.

I think the hours I have been pulling lately have also contributed to my lack of inspiration.

Yikes, I'd almost guess It's UTR'ed. Most camera shops should be able to send it away for you or at least do a report for you.

erm feeling better - nope - i feel like death warmed over a few coals and i am breathing like a asthmatic cat in a dust storm with a hair ball..

apart for that tip top mate...



i may even cancel my trip north next weekend yet..

what i am finding interesting is the fact i can feel my heart beat throughout the whole of my body.... a really weird feeling esp at night time ...

Wow, I'm away a couple of days and I see that the 'gods' have come to visit to sort some things out... Geez, I'm glad I'm not a mod

I take that as a compliment. Regarding the 'god' comment, it I really had any power, I'd make the temperature here about 30 degrees cooler.

This is becoming a very famous site for mods to visit.
Maybe the next one we should call

"GKPE6 Ramblings - the mods lounge"

Ill get really concerned when Pekka pops in to say hi
"Ive heard all about you kiwis "

It's about that point, I'd lean forward and put my head on the chopping block.


When you lot do your editing, do you do a save for print version of your images? (Yes I know LR lets you save the metadata and export when you need to). If you do, what size print and resolution do you keep saved?
