I was shooting Lesser Prairie Chickens on the lek last Thursday, all RAW capture with my Nikon, and a 2 gig card last me about fifteen minutes. All told, I went through four 4 gig cards and six 2 gig cards. Now I have to start editing.wingshooter wrote:Got a 2 gig card for the Nikon,

A RAW file is uncompressed. All of the data is in the file unlike a jpeg which can be seriously compressed. I get 120 or so RAW files on a 2 gig card. When shooting RAW, you have a higher ratio of keepers since you can fix problems with exposure or color temperature after the fact. RAW files don't throw out a lot of the data that an in camera conversion to jpeg will.

Where were you shooting, if you don't mind me asking? I would love to get some good pictures of LPC on a lek. I don't have any leks on my place, but my neighbors do and I glass them. So far I haven't seen any activity to speak of. Sunday evening I heard some talk on one west of me, but unfortunately I was looking right into the setting sun.David wrote:I was shooting Lesser Prairie Chickens on the lek last Thursday, all RAW capture with my Nikon, and a 2 gig card last me about fifteen minutes.

Ah a faulty keyboard and no spell check causes many mistakes. Then concentration on the minutia to avoid the forest is a hallmark of some .
As for the Voutsi comment, the committee has fined you 8 oz of steak for beyond the pale attempted politization (error purposeful)of an official Flatwater thread.

A Question for the Benevolent Dictator
Stack,
Does the no politics issue also apply to Southerners and Damn Yankees? With the tornado that Atticus has stirred up with the Appamatox thread, I think we need a pre-Flatwater ruling, or us Southern boys will have to being more than shotguns to the Flatwater to defend the honor of the south!

Boyer, you abominable scoundrel!!!! Kansas was a Union territory and staunch opponent of rebel Missouri and Oklahoma! If you are going to move to our Free State to chase our game animals, I suggest that you put aside all sympathies to the traitorous southern confederacy.TMBoyer wrote:Stack,

Chuck,
There was one branch of my family in the US at the start of the war of northern agression. They were and still are from the hills of Eastern Tennessee and in my opinion, the only branch of the family worth a damn.
That is why my loyalty has always been to the ideals and the cause and not to the geography or the locale.
Besides which, I am obviously doing double duty for democracy by pursuing those roosters that were an import from China to which they still relate with their sneaky tactics and obnozious voices and those southern quail that have snuck north!

[quote="Stackbarrel16"]The committee fines TMB 2 oz of steak for the incorrect political statement "war of northern aggression".
Do I detect another outbreak of Northern Agression?
How can there be an "incorrect political statement" when there are NO POLITICS?
Does this not inhibit free speech as guaranteed by our Constitution?
Will the whole experience that is the Flatwater be destroyed by the closet doors opening and the liberals coming out?
Too many horrific thoughts for a Monday morning.
