    Back up Photos without Laptop?

    I have an earlier version of the Hyperdrive Colorspace purchased ~6 years ago for a trip to Europe (when we were very space/weight constrained). I find it useful, but more often than not, take our netbook or my laptop nowadays as I can use it for other things, including very basic processing and...

    GPS Logging - Now with a review of the logger I purchased

    Glad to hear you got something that worked well for you. I thought I'd throw out another, similar, option for others: the Amod AGL3080. It does use AAA batteries and is recognized as a drive directly. However, it only generates NMEA logs and not GPX. (There's always a compromise.) (There is...

    disney documents not here 2.5 weeks away

    Also keep in mind that you don't actually need to have the Disney Travel packet (as opposed to the DME packet) if you don't want to use the coupons. (I know this from the personal experience of having left ours at home back in Oct.)

    What to do/see/photograph in Boston.

    Wish I had tickets to the game. (To be fair, I was at the "Cold War" Michigan State-Michigan game back in 2001 which started the recent spate of outdoor hockey games. It was way cool.) A few of things I haven't seen mentioned yet: 1) The North End (particularly Hanover St): Italian...

    Best location at Caribbean Beach

    CBR is made up of several villages. Just to be sure, you do realize that the pirate rooms are only in Trinidad South (and all of TS are pirate rooms) and the standard rooms are in other villages? All of the villages have their own bus stops. Some of the village buildings are closer to the...

    Regular use tripod needed - recommendations?

    I have a Bogen/Manfrotto 190XPROB that I absolutely love. I used a set of B/M 3001 legs for many years, but finally made the leap to something more substantial (and taller) last year. I went with this due to the height (I'm 6'2" and can shoot without extending the center column) and the...

    HELP...PLEASE HELP me with my memory card problem!

    First thing: DO NOT use this card except to try and recover the images. Any use may result in more loss. Second thing: Yes, you should be "ejecting" the memory card after each use. In most cases, it doesn't matter, but, as you found out, it can cause problems. (All(?) operating systems write...

    External flashes

    As the PP stated, in the creative zone modes (P, Av, Tv, M), the flash will not pop up automatically. However, from the original post, it sounds like you are wanting to use the flash and just eliminate the pre-flash(es). There are three things that might be going on: 1) Red-eye reduction: With...

    Thank you to Cleveland passengers.

    We had a similar situation in Orlando on Jet Blue a couple of weeks ago with passengers connecting St. Lucia(?). Everyone waited and we were impressed, both with that fact and the fact that the FAs even asked people to do so.

    Best place for overnight stop New Jesrsey

    I don't know if you're still looking for somewhere in NJ. I regularly (every 2 weeks) drive between NJ and Boston and avoid the Cross-Bronx and GWB at all costs. I take the Mass Pike to 84 to 684 (sometimes to the Sawmill Parkway) to 287 to the Tappan Zee and head down the Garden State Parkway...

    Camera Date/Time Wrong...How to fix pictures?

    Another tool to look at is ExifTool (and the related ExifToolGUI). This tool has a way to batch shift the date/time.

    Camera questions

    What you're actually looking for is a camera with a short shutter lag. (Shutter speed is a term used in exposure setting.) Unfortunately most of the specs won't report this and most point & shoots are notoriously bad in this respect. I would look at reviews, etc., and concentrate on comments on...

    CT to JFK or Newark ?

    Part of it depends on where in CT. Driving from along I-95 (New Haven, etc.,), especially closer to NY, it might be easier to get to JFK as you would avoid the Cross-Bronx Expy and the GWB to get into NJ. (There might be better ways to get to EWR; I'm not that familiar with that route.) Coming...

    Technical On-line ADR Question

    This isn't true in general. I have made probably 15 ADRs (including ones I have canceled when we changed our plans) without any issues with Firefox, even running running on a Linux box. (Specifically, I have used FF 3.0 under Linux and FF 3.5 under Windows.) To the OP, I suspect there is...

    Best place to have digital pictures printed?

    For wedding prints, I would probably stick with the E-surface (Matte). While I love the metallic papers for some subjects, they're not right for everything. At one time, you could only have one type of paper per order (not true anymore). so I ended up ordering some metallic prints of images I...

    Best place to have digital pictures printed?

    Another vote to mpix. If you have night shots or shots with lots of bright colors, their metallic prints are spectacular. If you end up ordering from them, try at least one metallic print just to see what they're like.

    Extension tubes?

    The advantage to ext tubes is that they're a cheap way to do macro. The disadvantage is that you lose infinity focus. I have the Pro Optic set for Canon EOS (http://www.adorama.com/MCAETEOS.html). They're perfectly fine for what they're supposed to do. (I don't use them much anymore as I went...

    Disney can't find my Reservation (UPDATE)

    We had something similar. A few weeks(?) after I made our res online I called to make some room requests. The CM on the phone could not pull up our res, even with the conf number. She had to get someone from Guest Services(?) to assist her, but was then able to bring it up. I too would watch...
