Has anyone heard from or seen Glort? I hope he's ok, rants and preachy posts are something to look forward to every day!

I hate to admit it, but I miss him too.  :laugh:

I believe there was talk of him travelling to New Zealand to do a photo shoot.

He's probably on a "walkabout" picking up 260,000 liters of used vegetable oil.  ;D

I got a PM from him yesterday saying "I'm in NZ.  Wanna catchup?"  So I'd guess he's alive & kicking.  I would say traffic on the forum is probably down by 50% though . . .

Hey Glort, I think I speak for everyone on the forum when I say it`s good to hear from you and that you are OK. Glad the photo shoot was a success. Please enjoy the rest of your time away with your family.

+1....

But are we sure it's really him.....?

Barring: "Biggest irony of the trip has been with the hire car.  Idiots left us standing round airport for an hour and i was not a happy renter when they finally got us to the depot and let the clowns know."

This is far too nice a post for him...I think we have a case of the "body-snatchers" going on here....BRING THE REAL GLORT BACK!!!

30 thousand pictures ?? how can you even press the shutter that much ?

  There are 43,200 seconds in a 12 hour period, so that's nearly 1 pic per second !!

Motor drive: Press shutter once, get N pictures per second (where N varies from 2-3 on old gear, to 10+ on new stuff*). Obviously in this digital age, there's no actual motor driving the non-existent film... but if it's an SLR (as I assume it is) then it's still got to move the mirror that quickly, so it'll still make that satisfying paparazzi "clickety click" noise. Well... unless the mirror is locked up, in which case it won't of course  :laugh:


* I'm guessing here... my camera, a relatively ancient but still brilliant Nikon D90, does about 4fps in "drive" mode. It's pretty easy to spam a memory card with lots of very similar looking pictures if you forget to turn it off...
Cheers!
