I have started to use 15 minute Rayovac rechargables.  They will do a 
lot of pictures between replacements on a full charge.  I think it is 
600 plus.  I usually only need two sets of batteries, depending on the 
amount of times I need to use the flash.  The 15 minute batteries last 
longer than normal AA's.

Doing this lead to a quick lesson in using ImageMagik to do some basic 
modifications such as rotate on a directory of images as I normally just 
provide the raw photos to those that requested them.  I only rotate the 
images.
