 As those of you who read yesterday's entry will know, I'm struggling with a hard-drive that is nearly full. It feels like I spent the whole day trying to get organised - moving stuff to the external hard-drive (where possible) or at least backing it up. For all my efforts, I freed about 1 gigabyte of disc space, but at least I can now delete photos that aren't great safe in the knowledge that I've got copies if I still want them. Of course some of the back-up isn't really needed either, so in the end I'll have to go through the same files twice. I hate deleting photos - even the really bad ones!

On the technical side, only the contrast was adjusted in PP, all the chaos was created in camera.

Funny how different photos grab me on different days. I overlooked this before but today it strongly appeals to me. The touch of green is especially nice. Nice blur!

At first I wasn't sure if I liked the blurriness effect of this, but after reading about the chaos, it suits the photo really well.

I don't like deleting pictures either. You never know when you might need that OOF, underexposed, bad composition picture! But it is nice to free up some space. :) Diggin' the chaos in this one.

No, the chaos gets created by the computers. :) funny how something that is supposed to make our lives so much easier, can actually make it so much more difficult.

love this image .. it looks like a combination of images .. so its pretty clever that you created this look in camera ..
and i totally sympathize with you re the backing up etc ... i just recently bought a 120gb external hard drive so i could back up all my work .. unfortunately i filled it up with all the 'necessary' images i wanted to keep .. i even went thru my photographs and ruthlessly deleted most of my RAW files coz they are so big .. 15mg per file !! .. i'm down to 9gb on my added internal hard drive which was new a few months ago .. i then bought another external hard drive .. its 160gb .. i havent started transferring to it yet ..
my filing system on my computer leaves a lot to be desired .. i have my photographs and then i have another place where i work on them .. i started out keeping all my photographs and then i'd copy over to my working area .. i'v changed that type of system now coz i was going thru my gb's too fast ..
i keep thinking of new and better ways to do it, then i think of a reason why its not better ... HELP !!! ..:):):)
