-
When the Speedlight SB-800 was mounted on the camera with flash mode set to Distance-priority manual (GN) mode, and then the exposure meters were reactivated or the camera was turned on, the distance information
displayed on the SB-800 changed. This issue has been resolved.

Delhi – National Railway Museum

What better way to spend a warm winters day in Delhi that wander round a train museum, something about old steam trains brings out the kid in anyone.

The National Railway Museum (NRM) was set up in Feb 1977. It is situated at Chanakyapuri, New Delhi and is spread over 10 acres of land. The museum has a wide and varied collection of rare and antique steam locomotives, carriages, saloons and other railway artefacts. It has both live exhibits (75) as well as working/non-working models in its indoor gallery. The museum runs a toy train around its grounds on regular days. On some days the Old Patiala State Steam Monorail is steamed up and runs on its track around the museum.

Delhi – garden of 5 senses – Sikkim

Decided to pay a visit to a garden in Delhi called the garden of 5 senses. On the day I visited it just happened to coincide with a show that had been put on by the Sikkim tourist board, and what a delight, local dance and producers were on hand to entertain and feed, the dancers were absolutely great, showing how close Sikkim is to it neighbours, and how the cultures have all blended together. Sikkim in the north of India and  was so well shown here, every thing to the highest standards, the dancers really showed there enthusiasm for what they we doing and of this showed in their faces.

Sadly the garden itself was not such a joy, it was once i should imagine a very pretty place, but had sadly gone to seed a little, rubbish all over the place, statues laid broken round the site. It looked to me as i stepped over courting couples in every available nook and cranny, that this was now the main use of the garden.

Two  restaurants on site, 1 a more traditional India one which I used, with a eat your fill buffet, very good well cooked food, with the other, more western I thought, called the mystique, and looking at the painted Delhites walking round looked more like fashion statement type place – but i did not eat there so would not be able to comment on the food.
