Nikon Software Updates
Just updated my Nikon software and the last set of photos downloaded as tiff files rather than NEF. Havn't time to look at the problem as "She who must be obeyed" is dragging me off shopping.

Nice to know. Think I'll give it a miss!

Big engines:
Served my time building marine diesel engines. Sulzer was the most popular although we also built Doxford, Werkspoor, B&W and any other main engine the ship owners wanted.

When the engines were running on the test bed, the large machine shop had to stop cutting as the vibrations through the ground was causing a chatter on their finish.

Should I use flash or not?
BobT wrote:
I've been asked to take some pictures of my granddaughter's graduation ceremony tonight. Being home schooled, it will be held in a church. I have a Canon T2i and a Canon 420EX shoe mounted flash. I have never used the flash before. I also will bring a Tamron 17-50 2.8 lens and a Canon 70-200 f4 IS USM lens(in case I can't get close enough with the Tamron). None of us have ever been inside this church, and won't be until "show time". So I have no clue about the interior lighting. If you think I could probably get by without using the flash, and instead setting the lenses to maybe f4 and ISO around 400 or 800, that would be wonderful. But, if you feel the flash is a necessity, can you give me some fail-safe settings to use--something that might get me reasonably decent results knowing nothing more that I know now? I am sure that the ceiling will be too high to use any bounce flash, however.
I'll need to enter the church ready to shoot...with little to NO time for experimentation.
Can you help....advise me as to the settings that might work under this condition? Thank you.

When I done my sons graduation at Newcastle Civic Centre, I was so far back and the ceiling was so high, that the flash was insignificant anyway. Used 1/60 sec at f2.8 and upped the ISO until I had a decent exposure. You can check the histogram during the speeches prior to the presentation. Shoot in Raw and use your flash for before and after the ceremony.

buying an import

Hya all.....I've been looking on ebay at cameras, and noticed I can buy a brand new Nikon with warranty for a lot cheaper than in the shops....Are these 'imports' and what's the downside of buying one (from a supplier based in my home country ) ?
Love to hear your views and experiences ..........


A few year ago I bought a Nikon SB700 flash from China (from a UK based outlet). Looking at the price and postage cost it seemed a no brainer; after all, what are the chances of a genuine Nikon flash going wonky in 12 months.
When it arrived, the smile was soon knocked off my face when I had to pay the courier £48 import duty before he would hand it over. Would have been cheaper going to Jessops
