Stolen D300 shots salvaged.

Even though I lost the D300 I had a redundant backup system, so I have been able to salvage most of the shots from my African trip. It is good to be home. The return trip via Amsterdam, with bad European and East coast weather was a nightmare. Each leg of the return was met with a delay. I had a 39 hour day from Cape Town to SFO. African Wild dogs, fast moving, well camouflaged, and tough to shoot. http://homepage.mac.com/lco/Sites/Wi...-H2/index.html More cheetah, http://homepage.mac.com/lco/Sites/Ch...-H1/index.html Struggling not to make a bad pun about Tiger & cheetahs. and Southern Masked Weaver, totally engaged in nest building. http://homepage.mac.com/lco/Sites/Weaver/index.html Just a taste from a travelling amateur. I will be replacing the stolen D300 with a D300s. Thank you for sharing. You have many nice memories of your trip. I think you made a good choice in a new camera. Now tell the truth, was the D300 really stolen, or is that what you told your wife?G Well I hadn't planned the theft, or the wake up call it was for me. Now I just have to consider dealing with the benefits of the upgrade, though the addition of video was never a consideration for me as I was quite happy with the D300. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Stolen D300 shots salvaged - Travel backup options.

...but I made a daily backup to my Colorspace UDMA, an outboard FW800 HD, and a Lightroom conversion to DNG on my laptop. So that was a triple redundant backup. Heading off to Columbia for a couple weeks in Jan. I'm looking at an offload option. I'll be carrying 24 (16+8) GB in cards, but shooting raw. A 160GB netbook ($299) is my first option. Even sell it on C'list on return. I've tried finding something used as well, but either over-spec/priced or old junk with 40 GB disks... A simple data sucker that would automatically copy the CF to a HD would be okay, except that I might want to edit and e-mail out some photos while there. A netbook capable of running Elements 3.0 would be fine enough for that. I'd guess I'll be shooting about 4 - 8 GB per day, on average. (100 - 200 images). This will reduce to 2-4 GB/day if I do a lossless compression DNG conversion on the laptop. |

Things may have cleared up in Columbia by now but corruption, gangsterism at various levels, and paranoia were a noxious mix you stumble blindly into. I'll skip that but leaving a copy of documentation and money with a trusted third party before you go may be useful. It could be useful getting back home in one piece.
