Well it's Sunday afternoon and since Friday night the Rugby World Cup has been on in the background (I did manage to catch up on Eastenders though) and I must say New Zealand did a lovely job on the first section of the opening ceremony. I do not quite understand this game I am more of a football girl (that's soccer not afl) and enjoy watching Arsenal in the middle of the night (ok last night I only watched the first half before falling back to sleep.......the joys of having Austar in the bedroom).
So DH gave me a few props this morning and said take your pics and use what you want from this lot but you can't add anything else. So this is what I came up with, however I have spent the morning playing with Nikon's Camera Control Pro 2 which enables me to tether the camera to the pc and look at the pics as soon as they are taken. I have saved heaps of time today using this and can see almost instantly on whether I have got the shot or what needs to be altered without keep taking the card in and out. It did however cost DH a trip down to JB to get a longer cord and extension so I could move the tripod around. I can see this piece of software being used often when shooting macro and still shots.
I have also managed to get the majority of my notes onto my iPad while the rugby was on. Which I think I will go and finish off while Australia run Italy into the ground.

Very effectively done Karen - due respects to the prop man too. I've had a go at tethering but nothing serious yet. I've just started another weblog if you want a peep at it http://chromaticvista.blogspot.com/
Cheers, Wayne
