I’ve used Backblaze for 5 years no issues.

Hi. I use a Mac Studio, and have a 14tb library. My backup solution is: QNAP TR-004 enclosure with 2x EXOS 14tb drives and space for 2x more. SD card RAWS go to both EXOS drives. Working drive is called Pictures and backup is called Backup RAW. Backup RAW also goes to Backblaze. External HDD...

CCD looks better. To me colour accuracy is of little value. Films were rarely colour accurate. Cameras lost a certain something when they went to CMOS. Again all my opinion.

I don’t do still life or anything in the studio, so it’s simply a matter of finding stories and documenting them. “Simply”. 😅

Oh I faced this a long time ago 😀 I knew how to separate the two things, with the hunt for the easiest post shoot process impacting the photography only in terms of giving me more time or desire to do it. But yes. I’ll go take pictures.

For the last (many) years I’ve been on a hunt for digital camera gear that can give me the same joy as my old Olympus and Canon film cameras but with the benefits of digital. I have tried every camera brand I’m aware of for still photography aside from Hasselblad, I’ve seen it as an investment...

Davinci is for editing video. I was suggesting it as a better alternative to the bundled software BradS is using.

Davinci has a free version and is very capable.

I think it’s the balance. 10 second shot with an hours time on the computer defeats the purpose for many, myself included. Speaking for myself I chase the 60 second edit because time in front of the screen is less enjoyable. And I intend to re edit several times in my life as my tastes mature.

I have my solution. I’m buying 2 32tb RAID arrays. One sits next to my Mac, the other sits in the house attached to an old Mac Mini. I work locally with no delay and the two arrays are synced. I then have Backblaze running. I insert a card, backup to RAID 1. Do not format card. Should take...

Possible pivot but thinking of simply getting a 24tb Thunderbolt RAID drive and a 12tb drive. That way I have 12tb of storage, two local copies and the third copy in another building. Plus the cloud backup. And 4 years maybe to re think this 😀 NAS seems overly complicated.

I’m leaning the NAS route. The up front investment is higher but it should last a long time. I can attach it directly to my Mac for faster throughput. What this doesn’t solve is the offsite backup in case of burglary. For that I’m tempted to backup the photos per project as Alan suggested and...

Thats a good way to think about it. I arrange photos by camera and date, and use keywords in DXO to call up photos for projects. But if I arranged photos by project, no small feat, I could have drives per project. The downside of that is it doesn’t cover the full catalogue.

Hi all. I need some help or focus. I currently store my photo library on an SSD, backed up to an HDD, and to Backblaze. With extreme culling I have managed to stay within the 4TB limit of these drives. However, I now need to think beyond that storage limit. I am shooting GFX and Q2, so the...

Just updating with my recent efforts to find a click and forget colour profile for my Leica Q2, I'll handle the GFX later. I've also been playing and have found a fire and forget Silver Efex conversion. But I've been staring at these so long I don't know if they are average, awful, or between...
