Bit of advice re photos and their identity if I may. Whilst I am cruising, I
take a lot of photos. We are just about to go on a half world cruise from
Southampton cruising to Singapore. The secret is to down load your photos
every night onto your laptop and let them download to the date, then when
you recall them, you can see where you are, even to the time as that is
recorded on the file.

Most digital cameras record the date, time, camera settings of each photo
taken.
Tools for managing these photos, for example Picasa 3, Nikon View etc., allow
you to display this information with each photo.

Laptops on holiday? I don't think so! Reminds me of the poser on the plane
from Bangkok to London. He spent hours tapping away at a laptop and
Blackberry and simultaneously laughing at Friends on the in-flight screen!
And yes, Ray's camera does record the details you mention, Martin. What it
is, as yet, unable to do is identify plants by name. ;-)

I thought a pro we had photographing the garden this summer had it
cracked as she could speak into her camara as she took the pictures, but
I still got the customary email to ID a few things and correct still
more, my fault, I often attach Clematis labels to the tree or shrub they
are growing on as it never occures to me someone would be unable to tell
what clematis don't look like!
