I'm trying Rawdroid on my NATPC tablet. It downloads from SD card quite quickly, 124 images in about 10 seconds. There's a YouTube tutorial, but it's one of those which plays music over the speech...

Edit: I meant you don't have to adjust the focal length - ie no composing with a zoom. I have both the 45mm and the 20mm: the 20mm is slightly faster in that the aperture is just a bit bigger, but...

Olympus 45mm f1.8. I know you already have the very good 14-45mm, but at 45mm its stops down quite a bit - f5.6 from memory. The bigger aperture of the prime lets you get more light in and applies...

Very nice pictures! What sort of goose are they? Did you lose any goslings over their early life - my local group went down from 8 to 6 in five days. Don't know what got to them, the parents seemed...

Thanks, Franka. I'm going to do just as you suggest. I like to take pictures which are good enough to print at A4 and greater, rather than just display on my monitor: I never know when I'm going to...

Thank you Alan! A very pragmatic answer I can work with! Tomorrow I'm going back to find the birds again, and will use increased ISO to get smaller apertures, concentrating around f16-f22....

I didn't, Duarte: maybe I should have done. They were running all over the place, so I felt a need to handhold and move the camera with them. Maggie

Er ... worse than that, I now realise, Paul. ISO was 160,and I think aperture was 5.6. I'm going back tomorrow to have another go using ISO properly to manage the DoF. Maggie

Here are 2, Elix. Both straight JPG crops, no processing. Egyptian goose with goslings To me, only the top right gosling is in focus. Eight goslings To me, only the top left bird is in...

I think this is the answer, Scott. For some reason it never occurred to me to raise the ISO, as the light level was so good. Thank you for pointing out my error! Maggie

I've followed discussions on this topic with interest, and have still not resolved my problems. Using DOFMaster, I've come to the conclusion there IS no solution. I use a G3 camera, so that's a...

I was looking quite seriously at a WiFi SD card so I could look at images live to check focus and sharpness particularly. Then I found out how slow the WiFi is, and when you think of the size of...

I checked with Transcend why the G3 appears in neither the "compatible cameras" list nor the "incompatible cameras" one. Apparently in testing the G3 the WiFi signal occasionally drops out when in...

This is the first time I've tried to use the Extended Teleconverter with the 100-300mm lens on my G3. Egyptian Goose At full stretch, hand-held with OIS on: I had to apply a little extra...

I bought my camera, kit lens and the 20mm lens from a bricks and mortar shop. Next purchase was the 100-300mm and I really needed to hold that before deciding to buy, so that was a (different)...

Dionys, I've always understood that RAW files are not image files, but a set of instructions on how to build an image. In Lightroom, if I open and process a RAW file, I still have to save it as a...

Thank you Les: but if it's difficult don't worry about it. I too have boxes of negatives and would not like to be looking through to find one strip! If it's on the four horses route, I'll find...

Les, that's a great vantage point to shoot from! Can you remember where you were standing? It's just what I hope to do this summer, but can't work out whether I can get to the gallery now. Maggie

Thanks everyone, for both advice and experience. I've visited twice before: once almost by accident on Whitsunday (Pentecost) walking by the doors I noticed a side door allowing local people in for...

Except ... I just checked the Transcend website for compatibility (as per instructions from Amazon etc), and the only 2 Panasonic cameras listed are the GX1 and the GH3. So I guess my G3 will not...
