Photography should be about picture-making. That is, after all, why we get into it in the first place (well, most of us). This blog is for photographers, people passionate about making photographs, who want to share ideas and concepts, approaches and attitudes. And yes, there will, from time to time, be gear stuff. Oh, and by the way, while you can download and share this blog, all the material on it is copyrighted. All rights reserved, etc.

Cool new accessory #233a



Kia ora tatou
I don’t know about you, but keeping track of memory cards can be a real issue. Apparently I am not alone- I have heard of one pro who has inadvertently put his through the wash several times with his trousers!( no, it isn't me-yet!)

For some time I have looked for something that was weatherproof, easy to use (those dumb cases they give you when you buy a card are a real pain to open, especially if you’re wearing gloves!), and could be seen easily in long grass.
If you have ever tried to find a card that has dropped out of your hand, you will know just what I mean.
At last there is a gizmo that deals with all those issues!

Enter (stage left) the Gepe Card Safe, Tough as, easy to open, waterproof, and (if you choose the lurid green or red one), easy to spot in the shrubbery.
It’s like a micro pelican case, really. At the end of the day, you can wrap up your cards in their nice cosy protection and kiss them goodnight.
And no, before you ask, I haven’t sent it for a test drive in the washing machine!
Yet.

Not quite the same thing but I know your always on about making sure you have a card reader...& not downloading from your camera with the link cable to avoid corruption
Well Matsumi (and probably others) have come up with a really useful thing for that old floppy drive slot on your PC... a 7 in 1 card reader (plus floopy) and it all conects a per a std floppy drive! you'll never worry again... well till it breaks!!

Trust a Scot to come up with an economically efficient answer to downloading files!
Actually I have one(well, I never need the 31/2 drive anyway) and they are great. What is really cool is that after you have installed the driver, you can kiss goodbye ot using the dumb eject ican down the bottom of the screen( you all do that, don't you?)
