Nikon D70 ,Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro
1s f/20.0 at 105.0mm ISO 400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

You've rot to be kidding me.
Fine shot, Sheena. I love it when a PAD reflects the day of the photographer.

Quite worrying really. I heard hard drives are much more secure, in fact it is hard to get rid of data from hard drives !

Yeah I heard something like 20 years tops before they rot. On quality media, no where near the forever that was promised.

Fine close-up.
At present I'm using a secondary drive. I'm wondering about backing them up on am enlarged drive as I'm getting short on space. Good quality DVD's are more robust than CD's.

Tried this for a PAD a couple of weeks ago but couldn't get a shot I was happy with! l like the way you've included the logo on this - I think it's the shot I was looking for but couldn't work out!
