That wedding

[ewx]

That was a fantastic day - both Rachel and Tony looked incredibly happy, Trinity College chapel was an excellent venue, Peter and Paul's singing was impressive, I got to talk to people I've not seen in somewhere around a decade as well as enjoying the company of the lovely crowd I see weekly. Even the weather shook off the grey of the past few days and cooperated.

I was pleased to have a new 256M CF card arrive from Canon just in time to fill it full of photos of Rachel and Tony's wedding. Even with that I had to stop off at home between service and reception to offload the first batch, and now have somewhere over 300MB of pictures. I've removed the most obvious duffers but I think it'll take a while to sort out the really good from the merely adequate.

I played with a 350D yesterday and was severely disappointed with the optics of the 18-55 lens. Can we find a mutually reasonable time when I could pop round with my lenses and try them on your 350D to see if I like it enough to warrant buying one?

Yes, of course. (I have only my old DC215 to compare to, so I don't have a strong opinion about the 18-55 lens yet.) Would next Sunday (17th) work for you?

I don't believe I have anything planned for then. Perhaps we should arrange to meet up in the Carlton or something and have a play around with different lenses.

I found that a 256MB card wasn't enough after a while - probably worse for you given the increased pixel count on the 350D. On occasion, even 1GB's not enough. I'm looking to see if I can find an old 10GB laptop 2.5" HDD anywhere, in which case I'm going to get one of these:
