It's not loading for me - going straight to the Playback Complete display. I flushed my cache and still the same. Have installed the latest viewer and everything :( Anyone else having problems?

Hahaha, I had a watch a wide variety of styles and shots there Keith, I hope you managed to nail a transport shot, and I enjoyed the surfing shots at the end, shame about the size and the annoying orange watermark.

I was looking for a "transportation" shot and a "stop action" shot for a competition and all the surf shots were taken with a 135mm manual focus lens (knowing I would have to crop a lot) so trying to pre focus on empty ocean is a problem and not knowing when the killer moment is going to happen meant spay and pray
I was also trying to get a plane in the train photos and as you can see only one flew low enough

some of the keepers

I have never used film so I have never had to be careful of how many shots I take
if you take out the train and surfing action shots and all the mucking around with cameras at get togethers there would be a LOT less

keith that first train shot is surreal
especially the moody citysape int he background

just wondering how did you manage to shoot with a tripod at a trainstation

all city rail staff are complete anti camera power trippers

you managed to get a tripod shot right on the platform your brave

or your a gentleman you askesd permission

was brave till they stopped me, then I was gentleman and asked the station master
shots down on the platform were before I asked and the ones from the walkway were after :)
the person in the bottom shot went and got the guard when he saw the flashes going off
note the lights in the bottom shot are wrong as I had the flash set to rear curtain for trains coming the other way :)

How does one play PhotoDex files on platforms other than Windows?
