Ahrrrrrr. Bad but true. Great eagle portrait.

You can purchase a portable 1 terabyte (sp?) for less than $100 these days. Larger drives are not a whole lot more.

Thumb drives are really cheap and come with fairly large capacities these days.

I use Carbonite's online backup. About $60 a year for unlimited backup and super simple to use. No, I am not a shareholder...

Question: Is it necessary to obtain a release to post shots like this?

Thanks John and thanks to all who have posted welcome messages. I'm looking forward to learning a lot from the UHH site.

Hi Emmett,

You can get batteries from Amazon very reasonably.

I just looked and they have 2 for $11.13...

I am just short of 70 and have been doing photog since I was 14.
First job was in a portrait studio in Spokane, Wa.

Finally retired from 40 years of software creation and having more time to persue pics.

My wife is an artist so I do a lot of her pieces for shows. It can be quite challenging at times.

Still use my Nikon F2 at times and a Nikon Coolpix 5000 from a way back. Yes, I ned a good DSLR...
