No, that was 'London Bridge'.
It was dismantled and (partially) reconstructed in Lake Havasu, AZ.
Now that I'm a 'full time' photographer (I just retired from my civil service job), I'll finally have time to go up there and make some images of it.

I agree. Having Norton or McAfee on your computer is just like having a virus.




Right! So the IT departments have all the control, not the user.
I'd rather have something I control, like Spybot and AVG, and not have that bloat-ware of either Norton or McAfee.
And, don't forget a good firewall like ZoneAlarm.

Don't overlook the onOne 'Perfect' Suite.

What you have to do is set a default action in Windows, NOT the EOS utility.
When I plug my memory card in, I get a pop-up asking what to do with the files. It has a tick box to make that setting the default action.

But that's not the road to Page. That's the access road to the North Rim.
The road I was talking about, and thought was being discussed, is Hwy 89, which had a collapse a little over a year ago. They haven't fixed it yet, but there's a detour on Navajo20.

Either ViewNX2 or LightRoom can do the download of his RAW files, AND make an immediate backup.

I have a slightly different workflow.
I use an older program, Nikon Transfer, to download my images, and make the backup.
Then, I start LR with a new catalog for each project/client.
I see no need for LR to keep track of each and every image I have.

There is also 'Recuva' which a number of members here have used successfully.

Now, as to your workflow.
Not only should you NOT be having NX2 convert your images, it should also be making a concurrent backup of the files from your cards. I do that to an external drive.
LightRoom is where you should be doing the JPEG conversion, and then ONLY after you edit them.

If your concerned about how much space you're using, remember this:
Memory is cheap! Buy more memory!
I just paid $69 for a 1TB portable drive.

The road to Page has a bypass through the reservation, around the area that collapsed. So, you can still get there from the south, it just takes 45-60 minutes longer than previously.

We've been to the South Rim a fair number of times. We've done it as a day trip out of Phoenix. For Valentine's day a couple of years ago, we stayed overnight in Williams, then took the train. It had snowed overnight and they were still clearing the walkways when we got up there. It was magnificent. Another time, we stayed over at the Maswik lodge and we walked along the rim after dinner. It was an almost full moon. Words can't describe it.
It's different every time you go.

My 'plan' is backed by the full faith and credit of a state.
Haven't seen one of those go bankrupt. Yet.

Looking at the histogram for this image (you can see it in Picasa, too), you've got areas that are blown out highlights, AND loss of detail in some shadow area. Your exposure got killed at both extremes.

By reducing the resolution to get the file to a size acceptable to UHH, you reduce a lot of the detail.
So....It's NOT a bad thing to do your own downsizing, if you aren't asking for C&C on the image.

And, I'll bet she doesn't do any post processing, email them or have them backed up anywhere.

Try ticking the "(store original)" box. That will allow us to look at the original file, not just the one that has been compressed/downsized to fit the forum.

Correct. Some of the newer Mac's don't have an optical (CD/DVD) drive. And no tablet does.

Yeah, right. And I've got a bridge I could sell you.

Does giving away your work pay the bills?
