I think my brain filled up years ago..that's why my waist is now larger, information and knowledge storage spilling over due to full brain. Well that's my excuse!

Great Stuff, CS3 is an awesome program.... May take a while to learn it ( I am still learning and have been using it for a bit) but just keep playing around with it and you will be fine

WoooHooo, I jus received my 4 new SanDisk Extreme III 2 GB cards. It’s not as exciting as my New Sigma 50-500 a couple of weeks ago. But I now have 21GB of memory, so lots of shooting before I need to download.

Ty just out of curiosity where did you get them from.. I am looking at getting a new 2gb or 4gb card and can't decide where to get it from

Brad, one of the advantages of owning a mobile phone store is our suppliers sell memory cards. Although stupid me didn’t bother to ask them if they sell CF until last week, as mobile mainly use Micro SD cards.

If you would like me to get you a price on cards, send me a PM with what you want.

**MarkW** · 23-06-2008, 4:12pm

Woohoo or should that be mwahahahah

I've crossed over to the DARK SIDE - I am now the proud owner of a MacBook Pro and just starting to understand how to load Aperture 2 and make minor adjustments.

I can feel a headache coming

**kiwi** · 23-06-2008, 4:16pm

Just bought, sort of by accident, a Sigma 180 Macro DG HSM.

Will be fun working it out.

Sorry, can't accept that - you are LEAVING the dark side.

**ricktas** · 24-06-2008, 2:55pm

I can now do a real WoooHooo. My D3 is in my hands and I'm charging the battery right now. Stuck my 16GB card in it..will hold over 700 RAW's. Brought my 50mm 1.8 to work with me, might have to try and get some shots on the way home tonight..in the dark..good excuse to try ISO 25,600 out.

Now to plan some photoshoot locations for the coming weekend.
