I didn't even have a memory card or a lens for it yet, so I borrowed some from Craig and the first image, well it sux :D but that's not the point. Our new rack sitting in our server room:

Image
D300, Sigma 10-20 at 13mm, 1/13s at f5.6
AWB under a fluro that is in frame, manual exposure, RAW + JPEG of which this is a resized JPG, Everything else as it came out of the box (I think!)

It is straight in real life.

Soon to be filled with this:

So it's two new beginnings, one for work and one for me!

I'm only interested if the girls here participate. (Note that I didn't say "ladies".)

Looks like I'll have to post again when it is, ahem, a full rack.

This is nearly as bad as when I come back from the bar with my mates holding two jugs of beer...

and yes it's dell. Their server gear is pretty good, not to mention our US parent decides vendors, so it's not up to us anyway!

I'm sorry ;)

We use Rittal racks by choice and our parent company followed suit :D Servers, well that depends on the client, we have pretty much every brand of server in our racks ;) I should post up an image one day...

So how is the D300 coming along? Very happy with it thus far?

We've got some stuff in there now, including 20TB or so of SAN. I want that at home, that's a lot of images even at RAW+FINE @ 12MP :D

D300 is coming along nicely. I am in the process of moving house so not used it as much as I wanted, but I'm a happy camper!
