I personally would NEVER lift someone’s photo for any reason especially with out asking
Eric most of the judging in the area were stuck on rules and if a photograph didn’t fit in the rules it didn’t do well I’d enter it nice image Eric I would however make the horizon straight it’s lower on the left side
Not uv it has a slight color cast as it’s meant to cut through atmospheric haze
Look at B&W they have a line that is completely clear if you’re looking for front element protection
Wow thank all of you
I had the conversation about a 2nd drive as a back up she told me 1 day became 1 week became 1 month
She called WD they said WD doesn’t have abilities of salvage info off of a dead HD
I checked connectivity interface with my computer, my WD cord, and my drive on her computer, definitely the drive itself
She working m/f she is going to look into “ontrack” over the weekend
And she is purchasing 2 external drives 2TB each, it’s a shame she kept putting the purchase off
I run 4 4TB drives with date folders 2 of witch are for down loads from cards raw files, and 2 4TB are for works in progress, completed files, printed images, off-loaded images to family/friends and clients

OnTrack data recovery services. They've been doing this for 35 years, and have rescued data off drives that had all been but destroyed. They aren't cheap, but if the photos are that valuable, then saving them is cheap by comparison.
https://www.ontrack.com/en-us/data-recovery/hard-driveThank You so very much
I have forwarded the website to my friend
It will be interesting to see what she decides to do

My neighbor dropped her WD passport external drive with a ton of information and photos on it.
That’s the back story, she called me for help!
I checked it out the drive makes some noises but failed to run and it won’t show up on the computer.
I checked it out with my usb cord same results.
What I’m asking is where can she get her information and photos off of the drive?
I think you hogs
There are NO hard rules to adhere too!
I don’t know the Z8, I do like my A1 have you thought about the A9iii with global shutter

After skipping the preparations for 2023, it's that time of the year again for an annual reminder about goals (resolutions). Did you make and accomplish any for 2023? Should you make any new plans for 2024?
Current Equipment
Are you learning to better use your current equipment?
Are you learning your processing software?
Are you organizing your legacy images?
Did you sell your unused and outdated equipment?
Are you using your tripod?
Are you organizing your new images?
Are you using your external (speedlite) flash?
Did you consolidate miscellaneous HDs into a single larger drive?
Did you implement and follow a back-up strategy for your image files, software install files, and passwords / credentials?
Did you investigate insurance / replacement costs of your equipment?
Did you download the PDF copy of your camera model?
Did you analyze your lens usage statistics and identify which lenses went used in 2023? Should you sell that unused equipment?
Technique
Are you using Back Button Focus?
Are you using selective focus with an off-center AF point placed specifically on the subject?
Did you watch any utube training for your software?
Did you return to a prior subject with a new lens or technical approach to specifically improve on a prior attempt?
Did you consider shooting in RAW?
Are you aggressively culling your multiple versions of one subject down to only the best one (or two); and then, only editing that best version to completion?
UHH Participation
Did you ask for help?
Did you answer a request for help?
Did you share any images?
Did you comment on any images?
Do you use the new Digest format?
Should you skip the Digest and use the <Newest Topics> button instead?
Did you resize the pixel resolution of your image posts to UHH, or to your email attachments?
Life
Did you make a photography-based trip?
Did you shoot any film?
Did you display your images on a digital frame or TV?
Did you print any images?
Did you sell any images?
Did you enter a photography competition?
Did you change to mirrorless?
Every journey, even those that take years to complete, begins with the very first step. Don't let a knowledge of the length, or just a fear of not reaching the end, stop you from ever even starting.
Enjoy the holidays and stay safe!

Good stuff Jim
I do think I’m going to try 366 images this year
Personally I put as little extra glass as possible on the front of my lenses especially on wide/extra wide angle lenses due to vignetting
