Out & About. Thursday 14th July

--- Quote from: "Bush Tucker Man" ---Thanks, it's nice to have all my efforts appreciated & couldn't agree more about Yorkshire.
It is a superb place & possibly more varied than any oher county in the UK
--- End quote ---
It is the biggest county in the country. Technically, North Yorkshire is, but then that gives you some idea of the size of the whole of Yorkshire.
--- Quote from: "Bush Tucker Man" ---Are you using Ni-Cads?? Ni-MH last longer
I use Ni-MH in a combination of 1300 & 1800mAh. They last a reasonable time, but then again I rarely use the LCD screen for framing the shot
I'm considering trying some of the these 2500mAh derivatives

Nah, Ni-Cads lasted about 2 shots. Best performance I've had is from Duracell M3s, but they are expensive. I keep considering some Ni-Mhs but haven't found a tuit yet. The new Pentax has a Li so that should be much better. It's still on it's first charge and I've taken over a hundred shots with it.
Bush Tucker Man:
For your information with regard to digitals we've got an Olympus MJU 410 & that's got a rechargeable Lithium with it. It's still on the first charge.
SWMBO takes it on site visits to record architectural/landscape/facilities details as needed, but it's shared.
My regular (carry everywhere) is an Olympus C-350ZOOM
Very robust, it's been dropped innumerable times & I've worn all the silvering off all the edges. Rock solid & great optics
In fact, I reckon, at least 1,400+ of my 'WebShots' images have been taken with that camera!
There's also an Olympus D-575
I see a bit of a pattern emerging here??? :lol:
The C-350ZOOM was the first one we got & is still (as noted above) the workhorse.
All operate on the 'xD' card, so there's always a spare one.
I think at the moment there's
2 x 16MB(?)
1 x 64MB
2 x 128MB
Olympus now produce a 1GB card that's a reasonable cost
Wouldn't mind a digital SLR, but can't justify it to myself (let alone SWMBO)
Still got my old Nikon (35mm) SLR somewhere, but haven't seen it since we moved in :lol: (last May)
Blimey! :shock: , this is digressing from derelict Combines & Emley Moor :lol:
Andy the Landy:
BTM - keep the pics coming :D I've enjoyed looking through your webshots at places I used to visit when I lived in Northallerton for 5 years 8)

Thanks Andy, 'xmobs' & your enjoyment (amongst others) makes it all worthwhile. Invariably the only reason I have to go to some of the locations is to take pictures.
So, with that in mind & in the best traditions of Saturday morning matinees (Flash Gordon/Lone Ranger) at the pictures;
"Tune In Tomorrow For The Next Thrilling Instalment Of 'BTMs' Excellent Adventures In Yorkshire-Land" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
By The Way; Northallerton is still on the 'hit-list'. Perhaps at the weekend, before/after Masham Steam Rally??
Andy the Landy:
Northallerton has some superb architecture. Bedale is worth a look just before you jump back on the A1 at Leeming Bar to head south :wink:
