You set off somewhere, on a strict timeline, having carefully calculated the time required to be there at your appointment, a time which allows you do some final checking before you leave and maximise your productivity before leaving.
This method is also known as Setting Off at The Last Minute.
Because you know it is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As many of you know, I have been involved with Perfectly Clear for some years now, following it through its development, as an alpha and beta tester. I have been given this role, I suspect, for my ability to&#8230;break&#8230; computers (well ,drive them to their limits and beyond).
Late last year, they sent me V1.0.3, and [...]]]></description>

I know I have banged on about tripods ad nauseam, but I feel it is time to visit this again, having been at a workshop where the $80 tripods which are a chiropractor&#8217;s best friend were present. A good tripod is indispensable for a photographer.End of story.

ASP stirred the pot a week or so back  in suggesting that the Sony Vaio laptop ( hereafter referred to as the BBB-Big Black Box) I took to Africa may have found its way under a Namibian dune, because I hadn&#8217;t said anything further.

Kia ora tatou:
in all my workshops which deal with camera craft and postproduction, I&#8217;ve taught the technique of ETTR, or expose to the right. In the process I&#8217;ve made a number of assumptions which I assumed were correct, but now I&#8217;m beginning to rethink those and I want to share those thoughts with you. [...]]]></description>

A Number of you have rung or e-mailed me since I got back, wanting to know how I got on with the Sony in Africa. I&#8217;ve been thinking about that, and decided it&#8217;s probably time to write some sort of gear review.
I don&#8217;t do gear reviews easily. Certainly not the ones that go [...]]]></description>

The first is C-RAW, which gives a 12 Mp file whenever you use it. Might be really useful the next time I shoot a wedding&#8230;..

Until now.
After a conversation with a camera technician in South Africa, I&#8217;m rethinking the whole thing. I&#8217;m coming to the conclusion that they aren&#8217;t necessarily a good [...]]]></description>

I guess it is every photographer&#8217;s nightmare; you&#8217;re a stranger in a strange land, dependent on your equipment, and your key asset (CAMERA!) fails  on you. What do you do? 
I was to find out. 
Canon advertise the 1Ds Mk III as having a shutter cycle life of around 300,000. Certainly, with the price you pay [...]]]></description>
