I never cease to be amazed by the quality of some of the web-sites around. The sharper ones among you may possibly have noticed my interest in Things Photographic, and there are half a dozen sites where some seriously intelligent and incisive thoughts appear about it, on a very regular basis. You can find one such at http://www.theonlinephotographer.com/. Usually, the content here is quite meaty, but this evening I saw a lovely little throwaway comment there.
Over in the USA, they have a car called a Ford Expedition SUV. It’s quite a large beast, and for those with a fetish about the size of your car’s Carbon Footprint, you need to think “Yeti” here. The smallest version has a fuel tank which takes some 28 gallons.

UGLY CRITTER, ISN'T IT? What’s this got to do with the finer points of taking pictures in this Digital age, I hear you ask. Well, someone, who owned a very large calculator worked out how much it would cost to fill the tank with average priced Ink-Jet Printer Ink.
The answer, apparently, was $386,070!
So much for the $4 gallon of Petrol we hear so much about.
