Backup Your Files

I decided that I’d bring my notebood along on my trip to Yellowstone / Grand Teton and use that to download my files.  Two mistakes with that.  Because I was shooting thousands of photos in Raw with AEB (for HDR) I actually filled up the hard drive. I also didn’t bring a small external hard drive to make another copy of the files to add a level of security.  On our way from Grand Teton to Jackson Hole, we decided to to a hike.  The computer was in the car.  The whole way I had visions of someone breaking into the car.  Luckily this never happened, but I’ve learned my lesson.  Next time I’ll have my small external hard drive on me while I’m hiking.
