I was referring to permission from the proprietor. ;)

If you don’t then replicate them to ANOTHER drive (hard drive, ssd, cloud, whatever, but SOMETHING else!!!), they will be lost just as permanently when that drive fails...

I keep all my photos on a primary online hard drive, which is replicated to two additional online drives hourly (the software is intelligent - if there is nothing changed, nothing gets written). I have an offline drive that I do not store at home that I replicate after every significant event I want to insure is backed up (with a weekly reminder on my calendar, just to be sure). I ALSO backup everything to the cloud (Backblaze) continuously.

Have I mentioned that *I* am a cranky old coot? ;)

That sounds like a plan (with permission, of course!).

Wow - less than an hour away and I never knew it was there... High on my to-do list now!

I own a Fuji X100F. I bought it almost as a lark, but I absolutely love it. It has caused me to use my Nikons & Sony less and less. I am seriously thinking about unloading all of my Nikon & Sony gear (Nikon D2X, D3200 & D810 with bunches of lenses & accessories, Sony RX100 Mk III) and going with the Fuji GFX50R.

Use Windows Explorer. If you see the drives there, simply drag them on to the desktop to recreate the shortcuts.

If you launch Explorer, can you see them?

Digital Still Camera

I have an RX100 v III — it’s an awesome travel camera.

Fine point Sharpie pen, or any other “art” marker-pen with archival ink.

Your monitor is too bright. A previous poster indicated a quick fix, to adjust your screen brightness to match the prints you are getting. The poster before that indicated you need to calibrate your monitor. I would start with the quick fix and finish with a calibration.

BBF works nicely in Auto on all 4 of my Nikons.

We have those here — my repellent works for them as well.

I use a natural repellent to keep them (numerous varieties of wasps) from nesting around my porch & eaves. In a 32 oz. sprayer I mix 5 drops of clove oil, 5 drops of geranium oil, 5 drops of lemongrass oil, and 10 drops of dish soap. If you spray them directly, it WILL kill them (the soap suffocates them), but they will abandon a nest and an area if you spray that around. I spray my porches about once a week. At 10’ x 40’ x 2 porches, I go through a whole bottle dousing the area. To me it smells pleasant. The wasps sure don’t like to be around it.

That’s the beauty of BBF — once you release the button, focus is fixed. You don’t need to hold it while the shutter is being pressed {unless you want continuous focus}.
