I bought a new hard drive

[Randy]

an 8tb hd that holds every picture I have taken since 2007. It's fun to be able to acces all of images at the same time. While browsing I found some that I liked a lot.
These are D300 and the 300vr + 1.7 HH from a boat (back when I was young(er))

thanks Gordon, I couldn't believe you can get 8tg for $175. It's amazing how much we are all better at PPing than we were 10 years ago. I'm glad I shot raw from day1, so many improvements in the sw make things faster, easier and noticeably better.

Hi Randy,

Great shots, I really love the GBH shots, it is hard to pick a favorite as they are all so good.

Cheers,
alexis and Georgie Beagle

Nice! Love the photos.... I just picked up four of them for my NAS to replace my 3TB drives - went from 9TB to 24TB usable space...that *should* last me for a while...My problem is I keep every photo I take for good or ill....should probably start being picky...

thanks Tim
I keep everything after culling but I still end up with a lot that should have been deleted. I saw some yesterday from 8 years ago that were suddenly keepers for silly reasons like, now I can extend the canvas in seconds and I've become proficient enough using other PS tricks, nothing serious like layers though as it's all about my 1 minute rule of thumb. Back then I could crop and sharpen (in NX2)

 

[Palouse]

That is one of my goals for retirement--taming my photo storage "system". I've started culling all the many useless images, and the way-too-many duplicates!

8tb for $179! That's just crazy. Storage is getting free fast.

Can I ask where you found 8tb for $175?

Thanks, for the lead, I'm sure an easy set up and auto back up or drop and drag? or drag and drop?

 

[Louis Champan]

Always fun to find old shots that are terrific, good collection Randy.

 

[frdjohns]

You better get two, so you can have a backup of your backup. 8 gb's is a lot of photographs to lose.

 

[hotrodmodeler]

Great shots! The first is my favorite. Maybe I should break out my D300 more often.

 

[Allan]

2 is my favorite - I like the spread wings.

Thanks, it is a great body under ISO 800

This a 3rd backup.

it's already formatted NTFS so it's ready to go. I do backups like this manually. It took over 24hrs

I have a stack of G-Tech drives. They're pricey but designed for Macs. When the 4 TB started to get full I moved everything to an 8 TB. When there was a sale I bought a second 8 TB to mirror the first one. 24 megapickle RAW files eat up a lot of space. I'm a UN*X geek so I use rsync to do my backups. (I still need to add it to cron.)
I like your pix. I haven't gotten any close shots of Ospreys this year and they'll be leaving soon. However, there's a huge Great Blue Heron rookery nearby along with a fair number of Bald Eagles. I was going to shoot some Little Blue Heron today but it's raining.
