Tigers and exploding hard drives!
15th November 2008
The pictures contained in Big Cats 2, are all from our trip to India in October 2008. Without doubt none of these would have returned to the UK if it had not been for the help of "Big" John Pearce. I always download my pictures onto a hard drive at the end of each day and disaster struck halfway through this trip. My hard drive decided to "go south" leaving me with a real shortage of memory and no where to store my precious pictures!
Fortunately one of the members of our group, (who were all fantastic by the way)had just about every gadget known to man with him including a trusty laptop whivch he kindly transferred all my pictures onto daily. On our last day John copied all these to DVD and stored them safely away in case I managed to lose these as well.
I am in your debt John, cheers big time.
Invaluable lesson number one; always always carry more memory cards than you think you will need and double up on everything.
Oh and by the way; with transport like this,
dont forget to pad your camera bag out with EXTRA padding!
