Dear friends,

I took this photo in my digital camera & thought it was good enough to be shared.

Nice. Thanks for sharing. Could do a good background image.
I wonder how the camera captors were not saturated by the sun.

Dear PhiLho,

Nice pic, especially the ripples on the water. Actually the sun has saturated the sensors (middle is pure white), it just doesn't look that way (cameras can be surprisingly forgiving with pictures of the sun).

Thanks evl.. Regards,

Here's one of my favourite pics (from a technical point of view, not one I'd necessarily want on my wall )

A larger version



It's just a normal sized fly, in case you wonder I have a habbit of piling on lenses onto my digital camera (Fuji E550) although the manual says to only use 1 at a time

evl !, Thats a great looking macro shot. Nice & colorful .
Have you cropped it from a larger photo?. I saw the specs 6.3M!!! ...

Regards,

It's just resized, not cropped - the original is a 12 megapixel (6 megapixel interpolated to 12 within the camera - comes out slightly better quality for a number of reasons on the that Fuji model). That sort of magnification is about the maximum practical limit - any more and the depth of field becomes hardly anything (i.e. only one specific distance in the pic is in focus). Close-up lenses are really cheap and lots of fun if you have a few bugs to take pictures of (and then wish you hadn't seen them in so much detail )

Dear evl,

[evl]

Close-up lenses are the cheapest type of lens - I got mine off eBay, but even brand new they are pretty cheap - about 30 US dollars for a pair of Kodak +7 and +10 close-up lenses (you can combine close-up lenses - you don't have to use amacro mode on the camera then too). Of course, with digital cameras which don't have a fixed lens (like yours and mine) you first need a tube adaptor to be able to attach anything.


Personally I just move my files manually because it'd not a very common task and I usually look at the thumbnails while still on the camera's memory card and delete any obviously bad ones (at 4 mb per file it can save a lot of time )

I'm not sure about the problem you're having - just out of interest, have you changed the "write caching for removable drives" option in windows xp? The default is the safer option of not caching and writing everything directly. How much longer does the drive take to become free after the tooltip says it's finished?

It may be possible to send a request to be able to remove the device (which may then be denied if it is still in use). Maybe the following (or something similar) could be used with sendmessage:

Dear evl,

I am replying late owing to Internet connection problems!.

[evl]

Maybe you should start another thread and specifically ask about waiting for a file to finish copying before continuing. Maybe Chris could support a parameter that waits for the file to finish being copied before continuing.

I kind of recall something being asked in the forum before about "waiting for files to finish copying" - but using windows explorer. That might be a workaround - to open explorer windows and just automate the move that way (could probably hide the windows too).

Dear evl,
I searched the forum.. & found Serenity's post
I am learning ... Thanks for all this help. Regards,
