Tim,
Try http://www.Pbase.com for photohosting. It’s $25 per year…but they have a free trial period if you want to try it out before buying.
Id look at Zenfolio as well. I moved from pbase to zenfolio a little over a year ago. Thus far Im more than happy. For $25.00/year I get 1.7 Gig in storage. Its starts at a Gig (basic) and increases each year you renew. Interface is slick as are display options. To give you an idea just how space that is I have 450 photos uploaded and have used 246MB. Mind I dont upload full res images, no purpose really.
Until and unless a day comes when I want my own site its way more than I need at a price I dont even notice.My page
http://jben.zenfolio.comZenfolio home..theres a free trial period
http://www.zenfolio.comOthers worth looking at are Flickr and smugmug although I dont know anything about them
Actually Tim if you did the trial today, you could upload some of those photos and then we’d be able to see the EXIF
🙂In 2008 “everybody” wants another monthly payment from you.
you could always put it up on flickr. it’s free, and the exif data can be displayed directly on the page for the photo.

lol Zach.
Been there done similiar myself.Ive shot an entire day, hundreds of images, only get home and realise theres no card in the body. Have since turned the option to shoot sans card off 🙂 That has saved me twice, in so much as once I clue in as to why the shutter isnt releasing ( main card still in my card reader  at home )I get a spare card out of my bag 🙂
Setting my lens to manual for macro and when next picking up the camera wondering why I couldnt select an af mode and thinking the camera was malfunctioning.
and on
and onWe’ve done it Tim, hopefully you have your solution.
Yep – same here.
Only small groups of shots, but I’ve left mine on hi ISO settings, either from night before photos, or early, early morning shots.
The good thing is, while I’m not a Pixel Peeper (dood who ALWAYS checks EVERY shot in the lcd to make sure it’s ok) I do manage to catch the basic look of the shot out of the corner of my eye every once in a while (I shoot 50/50 eyes open/eyes shut) so I catch it if the whole shot is blown after a few clicks.
But yeah – we’d ALL been there.

heh
Zach,
So what did you do differently on those three shots at the bottom of your post?
I changed my meter point off the dark water and onto Travis Wiles’ mid-toned waders, for one, and I also may have dialed down some Exp. Comp.
Thats a good point/reminder about metering Zach.
I often use (90% of the time) spot and meter off something in the scene. Sometime the shadows but usually the mid tones. The difficulty sometimes is finding a mid tone although I often try to find some wood ( dock/tree bark etc). When time allows I usually meter off something, take my pic and then check the histogram to get a sense of whether Im underexposing (when metering off darks) or if I have room to the right (mid tones).Another example might be skies. If I have a shot where thers going to be a fair amount of sky, I often meter/set my SS accordingly, snap a “test” shot/check the histo and lcd for blown highlights..Then adj as neccessary, compose and shoot whatever it is I want to shoot. Of coarse sometimes I brain cramp and forget all of that 🙂
Its just another tool to help us, kinda like indicators, no more and no less.
Thanks Zach…makes sense.
Glad to hear I am not the only one that suffers from migrains streamside.
