Cards are cheap these days. Don't skimp on it. Or on picture quality. Use the highest possible quality settings, lowest compression. Preferably RAW+JPG.Minimalist wrote:The last stop is at Santorini.

What camera have you got, Min?
If they have internet on board – and they probably do – consider sending the contents of every full card home using http://www.pando.com/. That way, you can empty your card and use it again, while your photos are already safely back home. Even if the ship sinks, or some local authorities – or bandits.... – impound your camera gear, your photos would be safe!
One precondition: it needs to be broadband internet. Or uploads would take weeks.

I hear Crete is inundated with Russian and Ukrainian girls, this year . . .
And of course with the crime statistics associated with their 'protectors'.

I'll see what I can do, boss. Bestbuy has a 4 gig card on sale. That should do the trick.
I'll try not to make the photos as big as R/S's so they mess up the whole board.

Switzerlands oldest lake village. From todays newsroom.The newly found construction in Lake Biel is different. It was a large rectangular structure standing alone 200 meters from shore, which meant it was clearly not a dwelling house.
Three circles of stakes discovered not far away were the clue to its function. The circles were fish traps, and the building would have used by fishermen to store equipment and perhaps to smoke fish, Hafner explained.
“This is the first time we have found a prehistoric fishing place in one of our Swiss lakes,” archaeologist Cynthia Dunning told swissinfo.
“But one find always brings another one. I hope we’ll find more.”
The closest known parallel comes from the Baltic area.
The site has been meticulously recorded, and all possible information has been gleaned from it. The piles are now being left where they were, and may disappear gradually.

Arendsee, Germany - Archaeologists have made significant mediaeval finds in the northern German lake, the Arendsee, that reveal fishing activities linked to a nearby monastery. Speaking before the 14th annual meeting this weekend of European underwater archaeologists at the lake, Rosemarie Leineweber of the monuments and archaeology office of the state of Saxony-Anhalt noted in particular the discovery of a dugout.
A fence instead of a net. That's interesting.Another significant find is the fence for catching fish. "The construction dates back to the years 2500 to 2700 before our era and is in excellent condition," Leineweber said.
