Trying out the RAW Image overlay feature on the D40. I thought the result was impressive. weird...

Well, the whole point of a backup is having two places to store the same files (ie. you're main HD plus an external just for backups)
Remember don't rely solely on an external drive, they fail just as often as internal ones do.
I use a RAID setup, so if one of the four 500 GB drives fail, it auto recovers and stripes the other 3 drives with the same data.
If you're a newb in terms of RAID, there are some external RAID boxes, like the DROBO box.
Still playing around with my XTi. Anyone recommend a 11-18mm. AF/MF lens?
Edit* if one of the two drives fail, you still have your backup. If both fail at the same (will never happen in your lifetime) you're screwed.

[nachobroadweezy]

I took over 100 shots at ISO800/ISOHigh & I still got massive blur on the bulk of my no-flash pics.

sorry if my wording was confusing... basically, all the non-moving light sources (lamp, lights in the store across the street) were super-bright... and Idelete the pic... I'll try it again tonight... I guess I should just shorten the exposure time... tried 15 sec. on my first attempt...

total noob here... please be gentile...

this was exposed for 3sec... how do I make the lights 'less bright'? thanks...

Increase the aperture

 

[kdwallace]

^ increase the aperture number do you mean? Because you want to let less light in you should use a smaller aperture - or a shorter exposure.

And make sure your ISO is as low as it can go - if it's on auto it will probably try and increase it in low light.

Fish eye? Wide angle? Panoramic?
