I generally send them at the size they were taken and check to see if they arrived...

I've had 3 go south... two books and one passport... Only use Seagate... My wife's TV has two 8T Seagates... and have been up and running for the last few years without a glitch, and they get a lot of use.

When I did film... there used to be a product that a couple of drops added to the water reduced the cohesion of the water and made it more 'wettable'. I also had a plastic 'wiper' that was used to 'strip' the water from the negatives. Kept it super clean as not to 'scratch' the delicate negatives.

and, I wouldn't limit it to 'your only time'... your work looks good.

Laura: it's an accomplishment; you should not feel unworthy.
Just a caution... you don't want your strobe interfering with his strobe system...

I've got a bunch of them, they work very well... Also use Panasonic telephone AAs; they are also very good.

I've been using rechargeable batteries for years. The odd one fails via high impedance. The issue might be your charger. I use a Powerex that I've had for several years. It was about $70 back then. The charger has several programs in addition to straight charging. It 're-tempers' charging by a programmed discharge and recharge to 'restore old batteries.
[Added] The charger warns you if a battery has failed.
Most inexpensive chargers only charge batteries up to the level of the lowest charge any of the batteries can accept. This one charges all batteries up to the maximum capacity of each battery and does a fairly decent remedial charging to improve the charging ability. You might want to look into Powerex or something similar. I've seen them recently at Memory Express, so, I still know the company is operating. I have, maybe, 50 rechargeables in AA and AAA.

Fantastic photos!!!!!! I'll have to get one of those motion sensor triggers.
There may have been some photographic skill by the photographer involved.
I'm not religious, but my first impression of the photo, because of the clouds in the foreground was 'The Hands of God'. It really was an exceptional photo...
Dik
That first shot is one in a lifetime... superb...

I set manual focus f-stop to infinity for a greater depth of field...

Do you know of a website that publishes this type of data... I've looked and not been able to find one.

Although it's not meant for it, I've used my 580 strobe to about 75'... with my old Metz, by blocking off the sensor, I've stretched it out to nearly 100'... the latter is an old one that generates enough heat to nearly cook an egg <G> If you hold your hand over the strobe part it does get quite warm...
