That’s right! I’ve selected some highlights of the 322 pictures and video clips I took last weekend. Captions and everything. Enjoy!

This will be my central album for any other nested albums of pictures I post in the future, so you might want to make a note of it. My video clips (nothing new) are here:

Thanks for the pics, John. I really enjoyed them!
awesome photos!!! thanks
Wow, that Karl on the cliff shot is poster quality. Another for the Uni-Wallpaper collection.
Outstanding photos, John. Thanks for going to the trouble of captioning all of them. That’s alot of work.
Thanks for posting those photos John, there’s some really good photography there. What sort of a camera are you using (I’m considering upgrading in the distant future). Also, how did you get an album with your name on it (…/fossvideo)?
I’m going to one of these Moab Munifests some day!
Thanks,
Andrew
When you’re logged in there is an option to change the URL for your gallery. You can change it to something more interesting than albup##.
John,
Thanks. I had a little look around but I couldn’t figure out how to do it. Could you please tell me where to do this?
Thanks,
Andrew
Use the rename album option
I was logged in, I typed in “andrew” in the search thing at the top right, I found my album there, but i wasn’t logged in anymore (or so it would appear). What’s going on?
Thanks
Sorry…I couldn’t edit my post but I figured it out. I just had to do a long search through the pages of galleries for some reason. That way I stayed logged in. Anyway, thanks a lot for your help. I’ve updated my signature:
My album is now http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery/andrew
That’s much easier to remember.
Thanks
It’s a Casio QV-4000. John Childs has the same camera. Storage is a 1GB IBM MicroDrive. Nathan Hoover’s worked fine at the peak of El Pico de Orizaba (18,000’), so I figure it’s fine for me.
If I were shopping for a small digital now, I might get a Nikon 5700. But it’s a little bigger, and doesn’t fit into the fanny pack as well. Canon G3 also has many strong points.
That I do not know. It was a while ago so I don’t remember. It’s possible Gilby has changed the process since then, as I wanted to do the same with my photo album.
Somebody mentioned the pictures are poster quality. Yes, I have had some 20 x 30 poster prints made from the images my camera takes. Though many of those Moab pictures were cropped, most are probably still big enough for that. 11 x 14 or 16 x 20 piece of cake.
Re: John Foss (some) Moab pictures in the Gallery
One minor detail. The IBM Microdrives are only certified to 3000m (10000’).
On Orizaba I did NOT use one. I used a type 1 CompactFlash (solid state)
card. I have used the Microdrive up to about 15000’ though. The problem at
high altitudes is supposedly head crashes - the cushion of air that hold the
heads off the disk gets too thin and it touches down destroying all your
data.
Nowadays when 512MB type 1 cards are only $130 this is a moot point.

Re: Re: John Foss (some) Moab pictures in the Gallery
Word.
Any noticeable difference in battery life with a CF card instead of the Microdrive?

A typical CF card will be faster and use noticably less battery power
than a microdrive. Plus you can drop one in a beer and still get the images
off later.

Re: John Foss (some) Moab pictures in the Gallery
I noticed about a 2+:1 improvement in battery life going from a Microdrive
(first generation IBM 340MB) to a solid state 512MB card in my Casio. That’s
100-130 to 250-300 on a set of 4AA NiMH 1800maH. You have a newer Microdrive
and I heard they improved the power usage so you might not see as much
difference.
Interestingly, my newer Nikon uses a 7.4V 800maH battery (about 70% of the
power as the above AAs) and it is taking 60% more pixels, yet it still gets
about 250-300 photos per battery. Stuff like this just keep getting better.
