Keep a record of your shots, settings, etc.? Why? What are the chances
that you will ever again in your life take the same photo under exactly
the same lighting and climatological conditions? Given that they are
nil, what good does keeping the data do? I'm always fascinated by the
fact that on the various lists people post photos with the film type, f
stop, lens, etc. - and yet when I open almost any photo book - that is
monographs of photos by renowned photographers - I don't find any of
that data, and I usually don't find any mention of camera brand, lens
types, etc.; I just find photographs. There may be an essay discussing
the way the photographer worked, his or her purpose in photographing,
his or her 'vision,' but no technical data or discussion. Odd.

I agree we've killed this discussion about 20 messages ago, but since
you
asked the question......<g>
You must have missed my reference to bringing along a couple of sets of
_AA
Alkalines_ (non-rechargables) for that peace of mind. You can't do that
with
$100+ proprietary packs that NEED to be charged.
Plus, my AAs will work in my flash, my tape (or digital) recorder to
keep a
record of my shots/settings...etc.
AND a set of 4 AAs WITH the charger is $10 at Wal-Mart.

George, I don't really get what you said below. If you hadn't bought
extra sets of AAs and had them charged and in your bag (or otherwise
accessible), you wouldn't have that peace of mind. How are the AA sets
any different from the proprietary packs?
