Back It Up

On Sunday morning my beloved Apple I-MAC decided to that its hard drive was tired and it was going to crash. Luckily, I still had 33 days of Applecare left, so Apple is fixing my computer with a new hard drive right now. But, I was stupid and I didn't have my 5k + pictures backed up nor did I have my music backed up. For now on I will definitely be backing EVERYTHING up.

Ewww.... that just happened to me. My husband was about to pull out some of my pictures (because he's a technical god) but I lost SOOO much, I am now like the backup QUEEN!

I feel your pain.

Oh no! I'm so sorry! I had a big scare once and have been backing everything up ever since.

Your pictures are awesome! Did you use a lens baby on that bird feeder one? What did you use on the dragonfly pic? That one is amazing.

Hey Nathaly, first off, thanks! Second, yep, lensbaby all the way!! I am very addicted to it at the moment. The birdfeeder is the lensbaby muse with the super wide angle lens attachment. I think its .42x or some weird name like that. The dragonfly is also the lensbaby, but with the macro set on it. I also made sure to use the f/8 aperture ring so that I wouldn't have as much distortion. I originally tried with the 2.8 and oh man...that thing is way too much, I could barely get any sharpness out of it.
