Suggestions for Stockholm summer 2009

Hi,

I thought that this year I again will not be able to visit any Scandinavian place, but fortunately we found nothing better. Friends canceled Croatia, recalled Transylvania and we have found quiet cheap flight to Stockholm, so we are coming!

We don't have a plan yet, but for sure will see the old town, go to Skansen and for sure will find interesting places while searching for geocaches. Also we are excited about the long days, I could experience it two years ago in Tallinn and it was great, it fills you with lot of positive energy and happyness.

If you are aware of any places or rather expos, events between 16.7. and 21.7., please leave me a comment :)

Astrobiology - correction

I just realized how fool was my last entry about astrobiology. It is not possible to plant paprika on stars cause they are too hot, so I would like to correct myself, potatoes could work.

p.s.: this spell checking does not know the word astrobiology, even that proves me.

Astrobiology?!

Funny term, probably a person planting paprika on stars...

Canon EOS burst buffer

I was shooting high ISO pictures in burst mode (1/200 - F2) and the 40d dropped the burst buffer for RAW to 6 pics or so and I was not sure why. This was very limiting and I could not make it work. The answer is easy: RTFM (page 156)! I did it before many times but who remembers all those settings :)

Turned on/automatic high ISO noise reduction significantly reduces the RAW buffer! Turn it off and do it in computer.
