I too use DPP (tis an under-rated software imho) I use a Canon 400D with a Sigma 100-300f4 lens. I shoot in RAW onto Sandisk Extreme III 4gb CF Cards.

Downloading is via a card reader & computer into a Maxtor 500gb external hard drive. Both the card reader & Maxtor are connected to the computer via the USB2.0 leads. On a 4gb card I can get circa 400 images (RAW) & to empty the card as described normally takes about 5 mins.

Perhaps the problem is the 450D uses SD cards which I seem to recall (from somewhere) are not so fast due to the number of connections?*

*I stand to be corrected

Your resolution seems very high!
I normally go for 96dpi @ 800 pixels wide for general stuff
For printing I go 350dpi @ A4

Do you print ALL of your images????

Don’t forget the Sigma 100-300f4 I have one & am VERY pleased!!!

Good pics! I was on my first day at OW as “a volunteer virgin”.
Still had time for a few snaps …

The best ‘till last? ….

Just a moment to reflect ….

Patience is a virtue you know.

Thanks for the pics Bill16, and to all those who have replied so far – wasn’t expecting such an informative thread!

Bill, did you get a chance to speak to any of the DX engineers while you were there, about the ‘state-of-play’ regarding the restoration?

Sorry Rich, I was too busy with my boys …..

“come here, 😮 don’t touch that” etc. etc.

Cheers!

Yup, I quite agree with that sentiment, and I think that there will be more realistic aircrew contra temps in the new film, no doubt Mr Fry will revel in it.
Meanwhile Bex and myself will dissapear into the sunset with 2 goats and black dog we are’nt allowed to discuss, while sharing a fag.

Would those 2 goats be inflated?
So how do you “tie them off”? :confused:

(err….. hat, coat, gloves, door & taxi?)

Kev,

Great shots! – ‘Tis a beautiful place Old Warden, best not tell too many people about it ……
