Just a thought about your comment on cameras having built in radio receivers.

If you look at the Pocket Wizard and Radio Poppers websites you should see that they sell different versions of their product to comply with the different radio frequency regulations of various countries. The legal frequencies in Japan are different, for example, to that of the USA. This means Pocket Wizard etc have to make a specific product for Japan. So I presume the reason why Nikon and Canon etc haven't added this feature right in the camera is because they'll have to sell different versions to different countries. Just a thought....

You say "bokah", I say "bokay" (for "bokeh")

This is digging up a past controversy, but to resume the debate how to "properly" pronounce the word for the out-of-focus portions in a photograph, I checked my Japanese -English dictionary. I can now see the source of the problem.

The word "bokeh" is a derivative of the Japanese verb, bokeru, which means to be fuzzy or to be out of focus. The problem is with Western pronunciation of the Japanese syllable ke. Many non-Japanese tend to mispronounce the syllable as "kah" or, even worse, "kay," when it should be pronounced similar to the "ke" in "kelp."

Of course, at this point of time, this insight is probably too little, too late. Both camps of the word's mispronunciation appear to have come to a truce in letting each other bastardize the term.

All of this must be really amusing to the Japanese…

After listening to your show on Yellowstone my wife & I impulsively changed our five day vacation plan from a road trip to Santa Fe and headed North to Yellowstone from Denver. In five days we drove 1,542 miles. We hauled our camper only to leave it in Lander, Wyoming upon realizing we were a week early to find open campgrounds. The South end of the Park was heavy snow, sometimes over five feet deep. We did a lot of driving, but it was worth it for the wildlife. I was able to get the missed shot mentioned on the show of buffalo fighting, but we didn't see any wolves. The highlights for us were being surrounded by a herd of buffalo and driving our car among them as they walked along the road; and seeing a grey fox chase a red fox in a field in near the Grand Tetons.
