I haven’t taken my camera out in months; so the other day I dug out my battery charger and went for a walk with a tripod and camera. This isn’t exactly the result I was after from this shot, but I think getting what I want could take a long time and I have alot of other work to get done.
It’s tricky to get the contrast right, because my laptop screen and my monitor are giving me quite different looks (and neither of them are pro screens, so it’s tricky to decide which to go with).
I’m really not a fan of the Mantuik algorithm, this is processed (not very well on my part) with the fattal algorithm.

32GB DigiMate III card reader. This is one of the most usefull items ive bought. Its a 2.5inch laptop HDD holder that has all the card slots in built. It has a rechargable battery that runs the HDD allowing me to copy my CF cards onto the HDD so i can reuse them. Excellant for rallies when your taking 1000′s of photos a day.

omg! i never heard of such a thing..i need to get out more lol im so jealous this would help me out when i take pictures of events. how much did you pay for this may i ask?
I paid about £9.99 for the device off Ebay. You then need to buy a 2.5inch laptop HDD to go in it. These cost about £30 from a computer store. Im guessing in the USA it will be loads cheaper. There is a new version of the Digimate out that has a colour screen built in so you can actually view the photos too, not sure how this affects the battery life tho.
