We have an office in a place called Sunnyvale just outside of San Jose. I will be in the area 20 - 25 June. Out on BA to SFO on the 20th. Have been going there for work on and off for the past 20 years. If you want some local knowledge let me know...

Might take you up on that... heading out on BA to SFO on the 22nd and staying there for 5 days. Wouldn't mind a job that takes me to places like that too!!!

Going to hook up with Ken for a beer too hopefully :thumbsup

I'll have a look at the GoPro 1 too Mike...still not much clue about them.... although I've a feeling I'll end up impulse purchasing a shiny new one... I just can't help myself!! :oops:

So that's a new camera and a gopro on order...ooops.

Next problem... Storage. Any clever ideas for getting pics uploaded to the cloud to prevent memory cards filling up whilst away? Other than buying more cards or taking the laptop?!

Trying to work out what settings to use to create a road trip time-lapse on the PCH and yosemite etc... Any tips appreciated... 1 second interval? 2? Etc...

I reckon water isn't the concern here.

And i've got two sitting in the house doing nada.

One is pink though :lol:

EDIT : Other option if to back up to ipad but you'd need to delete some midget porn first.

If you're going to back up to an iPad, might as well just buy another card..
64GB Class 10 is around 20 quid.

1080p 60fps gets about 170 minutes or 260 if you're not using protune apparently..

Alternatively, I should also have a netbook in classifieds if I was more organised ;)
