Multiple..... Let me say that again... MULTIPLE hard drives. I use Western Digital 1TB drives. I've got an iMac 21.5" with a 500gb drive to edit/process on, and I store everything on external drives. And just as an example... I had run out of room and had been using the computers hard drive for storage until I could get a new drive. I picked one up at Best Buy the other day, and within two hours of unpacking it at home, I had taken up over 300gb's of space. Of course I'm running a business so my memory load is going to be a lot more.... but RAW does take up unecessary space for the hobbyist.

And this is where it all started. I thought I was going to set up a darkroom.... HAHAHAH!!! You can barely find film and chemicals these days, not to mention the cost!

I'm really grateful that this little project kick started my love for photography again. I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for this thread.

Gees its amazing what you learn in a year and a half. I posted this thread a month before I purchased my first DSLR camera, and now I have my own photography studio!

I'm rolling in laughter at some of these posts:

The first time I read this I went cross eyed and though "what the bleep is this person talking about? Ratios?!?" And now I've got a key light, fill light, hair light, kicker light, and background light in my studio. LOL

Thank you so much. I've been trying to get good pictures of my babies to show my friend who loves them to pieces but hasn't been able to come see them.

I have a question though... I have barred rocks that are a month old and have their feathers. What color background would be best? And what do I do when one poops if I have a light colored background?

Personally, I love light blue backgrounds for black and white colors.
