Since my 1300mAh and 1600mAh Rayovac NiMH and my 1850 mAh Energizer NiMH batteries are aging and no longer hold the longevity that they once enjoyed, I just ordered some POWEREX 2700mAh NiMH batteries. I also have an old Rayovac PS1 charger, and want to replace that too. What battery charger do you guys recommend?

Powerex rechargeable are the best I have ever used. I highly recommend that you use a powerex charger with them as other chargers will not completely charge them. You may not be as impressed with there performances if they are not fully charged.

Excellent charger:

The best: (but only charges 4 at a time)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...7355012&cm_re=MH-C9000-_-17-355-012-_-Product

Look around for some deals. The MH-C9000 can be purchased with more batteries for only $5 more. Sweet deal!

I use them in my Nikon and Canon flashes.

I went on vacation recently. I didnt take a whole lot of photos because I was just trying to enjoy myself. I gave landscape photography another go.. its really hard and frustrating to me. So many little things in a photo that can ruin it. Damn trees and branches always getting in the way. LOL its hard coming from a portrait photographers perspective.

Here are some shots:

Mount Washington

Mckenzie Highway. Half of it is desert and Barron with lots of snow. The other half is lush green trees.

Koosah Falls: Its quite the steep trip off of the main trail to get down where I took this shot. Totally worth it.

The Cabin: We stayed at a very nice lodge. The cabins where huge! Hot tub, large screen tv, push button fireplace, excellent view of the forest. On "campus" pub/movietheater/spa/gym/fine dining. We had a great time!

After lunch coma. No energy to do anything but lay back and take a nappy.

Thanks for your input. I'll probably go with the MH-C9000 because it is way more portable than the other.

Helloooo. I took some pictures over the Christmas period. If any of you ever wondered what grand(!) old Norwich looks like, this may satisfy your curiosity. I took them at night because I think Norwich always looks prettier at night.. but I don't think these photos are much too special.

Norwich City Hall

Elm Hill (For those that have seen the film Stardust, the Slaughtered Lamb inn scene was filmed on this street.)

Gentlemans Walk

The Forum

Jarrolds Department Store

Maid's Head Hotel

Norwich Market

The Old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital

The Royal Arcade

St. Stephens

Tombland (my favourite shot)

Igoy · Mar 22, 2010

Norwich is old.

Yes I used a tripod, and nope it was taken just before the snow hit us. The exposure time was 25 secs, and a 100 ISO.

Nice! Noise free shots

Great way of getting rid of all the street traffic too.

The tree looks like its arching its back. Its almost a female like arch. I'm half expecting destruction to follow.

Took this picture and thought I'd do some modifications.

This one reminds me of zerg or something, like a lurker

And the people who inevitably walk into your shot.

RAMBO!

this picture is awesome :tup:
do you have a bigger version?

I promise to only use it for my desktop.
but if I make a bunch of posters to sell @ 5 bucks a pop, I'll let you in on the profits, say 40/60?

oh nice! superhighres indeed.

seriously though, that picture is really cool.
just the contrast between the sharp, "realistic" plant foliage and the 8-bit piranha, and being aware of the pop culture reference.

if Nintendo were working on a new, next-gen Super Mario game, that pic would make for an outstanding promo poster.
all you gotta' do now is add Yoshi.

Actually, you can't sell it since that plant trap (forget what it's really called) is a registered property of Nintendo. Unless you want to get fined for IP infringement.

He could sell the original non-edited photo, and supply the plant for free, and have the customer tape or glue the plant onto the picture.
