me too (now).
i have two external drives, both 1TB seagate freeagents.
lesson learned.

i have plans to set up a NAS box at home, with 6 1TB drives in RAID 5.
that should almost guarantee my file integrity in future. till then, the externals will do.

ill post more pics soon...

i emailed a few friends, and have had some of my pictures recovered recently.
this is one of my better automotive shots.

it was taken with a sony Cybershot (cant remember exactly what version) but it was a 5MP camera with a swivel body, and 58mm lens.

this one was taken with an old 2.0mp kodak. no fancy long exposures.
i just got lucky. took over 40 pictures that night, only got one worth keeping.

and this one of a Polar Bear. taken with the same Kodak 2.0mp.
at seaworld on the gold coast.

I went out early this morning for this pic, but didn't get what I was after (too much cloud cover)...

Went outside a little after midnight last night and was greated by the most beautiful site. So quite, so still, it was eerie and beautiful. I had to take a picture before going to bed. I rushed a bit, did a 10sec exposure without a tripod so it could have been better, but I was tired.

Great shot mate, looks like something from a horror movie!
