Well, after all it seems I didn't get through to you. In very
simple English: There are place where any type of electrical equipment,
including digital cameras, are useless as soon as the batteries
are flat. People that go to those places are not much of a gadget
buying market so their needs will not be catered for by anyone who
is in it for the money.


Geez, most modern film cameras rely on batteries for metering, flash, film
advance/rewind, focus and God knows what else. Perhaps people who go to the
places you are referring to should learn to draw really, really well and
take lots of pencils with them. Of course there was a time that such
adventures were chronicled in exactly this way. I'm thinking there must be
solutions these days that would allow for the recharging of relatively
modest batteries in remote locations. A very small inverter hooked up to
one of the safari vehicles comes immediately to mind. I'm sure there must
be other solutions as well. Personally, I'd be most concerned as to how to
keep the beer cold, which presents a far greater challenge than recharging
some small capacity batteries.


In Greenland?

I can't imagine any photographer going anywhere for months at a time
without access to a generator once in a while. The battery packs most pros
wear on their belts should power a digital SLR for quite a while.

Hell, I get about 150 shots out of one charging of the D200 battery!

That seems like a very low number to me, John. Most people are reporting
500+ shots on their D70's per charge. Do you really notice that much of a
difference in battery consumption from your D70 versus the D200?

To tell the truth, I was estimating. But, I don't think I ever got 500
shots out of the D70. I think a couple hundred was the most. Many were
indoors, with the flash, and on the highest jpg resolution at maximum size.
I'm guessing about 200 from the D200, max res, max size, mostly flash. That
was after the first charge. I'll try to get a better estimate, but I think
two 512MB cards is about what I got.

Well, flash would make a huge difference. At least using the internal flash
would. Less so using an SB-600/800.

PS. A few more pics in abpso. Join the files first. I'm still trying to
figure out how to post several pictures at one time and have them show up
as individual complete headers. I guess posting one at a time is the only
way.

I also tend to leave it on continuously. When visiting the grandkids over
Christmas, the first time I used the D200, almost every picture was with
the flash.

if you are posting multiple pictures, then they will be separated,
however agent will post in order without separating.

I want to make one new post which may contain several pictures. Agent is
now combining all the files into one big file, then splitting it into
chunks based on the maximum number of lines I've set (to meet the ISP
requirement), then it posts a separate header for each 'chunk'. The
separate headers must then be joined to be viewed.

How can I make one post with several pictures, each of which shows up
complete with its own file name under a separate header?

BTW, it's snowing outside. Weird weather.

JohnH or anyone else,
I tried to join them in Thunderbird, but could not figure out how.

I had to open them in OE. Does TB have the ability to join multi part
attachments?

In Agent, you would select them all, right click and click 'join sections'.
Don't know about TB.
