Good for you ,mate, to have reminded us about these early explorers.
Yes , I have had the experience of changing to a new computer and then having a problem with reading discs and occasionally hard drives.
I also agree that multiple backups are necessary and the SD's could die or not be read when the technology changes-- I have seen a lot of technology change in my time. Also, in full disclosure, I do subscribe to a cloud storage called "Just Cloud". So there you have it.
Thank you, rdgreenwood, for your reply. Of course I know the cost difference between keeping the cards and putting them on a hard drive and I may even get around to doing that, but hard drives do fail and there is nothing more original and corruption free than the cards on which the pics are taken.. Also I do know I may be a little old fashioned at age 94 and there is nothing wrong with your logic.
I keep all my cards with the original shots on them as the ultimate backup so I need cataloged storage for a couple of score-- both compact flash and SD.
Pardon my error about where and the river. My fly fishing experience was fishing in rivulets, fast running water where it entered pools(rainbows) , deep pools and under banks so I was curious looking at this relatively large expanse of water and no apparent current carry insects and the like , or hiding places for fish.
What are you fishing for ? brown trout ? and which river?
Nice, thanks for sharing.
Great shots , I shot from about the same spot at the river bend several years ago when the river was in flood at dawn with the sun just painting the tops of the Tetons and I thought it was pretty good . But your shots withe wispy clouds and the brilliant autumn colors wins by a mile. Ansel Adam would be jealous (he shot from about the same spot but from a higher level on the roof of van). Congratulations.
Expertly done-- wish I was there.
What size were the photographs in the framed exhibits?
Thanks for the drive. I provides an incentive to go there.
If I wanted to go Olympus and with only one body I would go for the new Pen F. Has a built in view finder and all mod cons including the excellent
stabilization system as well as being handsome looking ( in my opinion). I prefer Oly's excellent pro lenses with which you certainly can win prize winning pictures. But of course it is not the cheapest way to go and I agree Oly's menu system is not easy to learn if you wish to use all of the camera's wide array of possibilities. I have most of their pro glass except the 300mm (600mm equivalent). Don't let anyone tell you I won't do as well as DLSR camera's unless you want 20 by 30 inch or larger prints or shoot under low light.
