Having had a disaster once at work, and developing ways to have back-ups of back ups, I evolved a personal work routine when I take even the most mundane images, but particularly when I travel. First, I save the SD Cards with all the images, I shoot both jog and RAW, so if something fouls up with one copy, i always have the other, until I am 100% sure the images are safely stored on my home computer. When I get to the hotel, or whatever i am staying in, the images are copied to an external SS drive. I carry a 1 TB San Disk SSD. I also copy the jpgs to my one drive account. When I get home, I put the jpg versions of the images on the computer's SS internal drive, a 1 TB SS one. I put the NEF versions on an external 8 TB standard HD. Carbonite automatically puts a copy of every new file up into cloud storage. I check regularly to be sure all of my work is safely on Carbonite. I keep the original SD cards in a separate container from the blank ones. I try not to destroy any images until i run out of SD cards and decide I don't want to buy new ones. I rotate a dozen such cards, so that I reformat the oldest first.

I realize that I am being very intense about this, but that is how I lived my professional life in medicine, and can't turn it off. I am used to wearing both a belt and suspenders, so to speak.

I am only an amateur photographer, but enjoy my art and want to protect it. There are times my kids ask me for photos I took many years ago, or when I try to find images that match current needs, contests, etc. So my meticulous attention to storage is important.

Great shot. I use Carbonite which automatically backs everything up to the cloud.

I go to open studios and know the lights. I also know the stress of using the self timer. I also have used the remote control with Nikon's Snapbridge. The problem is that I tend to be holding and or looking at the image on the mobile device.

Cool work.

Well done why didn't you have your friend take the photo?

interesting experiment. what AI program did you use? It would be interesting to take the B & W image and choose colorize or whatever the PS term is.

Well done. Congratulations on the courage to post it here. I hope the other photographers will act like adults.

I was exercising in our apartment house's gym and on the elliptical thought I spotted a bird sitting motionless on a tree. I kept thinking it had to be something else, because, although i was a bit of distance away, i really spotted no motion. After 40 minutes of watching, I decided to get off and make a run for my camera.

I had my camera set on burst shooting and present exposure and took only one shot before it appeared the bird might fly off. I hit the shutter and, sure enough off it went. I was lucky to grab these images. It was snowing pretty heavily, the smudges are falling snowflakes.

Shot with Nikon Z50 and kit 50-250 mm lens.

she is adorable, nice images.

lovely image

thanks for demonstrating, how do you do the colorization, what program do your use? PS Elemenets has a function to colorize, i need to try it.

very nice images, beautiful young woman.

a classic pin-up style image, beautifully executed. My only complaint, if i can even call it that, is that the upper left is very distracting.

I tend to agree, particularly the dirt in the upper right, which could easily have been cloned out. Can we see a higher definition version?

I had to download it and then open the download.

By the way, the word voyeur is incorrect, perhaps she is a exhibitionist, and we are the voyeurs, LOL!
