Carbonite.com. I just have them back up all of my files daily and when I need them Shazzam. There they are. Really cheap insurance.
I have used Gary Fong Lightsphere for years. I have had amazing results. The only one I carry in my kit. I would highly recommend this product to any professional or amateur photographer.
I use windows 10 on an ASUS ROG (Republic of Gamers) laptop with a 17" screen. It has worked well with Photoshop. Lightroom and On1 Photo 10. Plenty of speed and RAM 16GB. around $1,000.00. Well worth the investment.
If you want to visit the Smokies, you may want to check out the Maggie Valley area in North Carolina. No fires there yet Quick access to the Blue Ridge Parkway. There is a lot of things to do and photo ops within an hour in any direction. If you need a place to stay this place is awesome.

I've had really good luck with carbonite. Nice people to deal with when you have an issue.
I also back-up at home on an external drive. I you can afford SSD drives that is the way to go.
You stated the lens specs . Just Saying
:roll:
Does Canon make a 24mm~105mm F2.8/L Lens? I have not been able to find it.
Awesome Pictures.
I live in SW Florida and I have the same hawks that nest around my property. They rob the mockingbirds nest every spring. The mockingbirds are relentless to attack the hawks to scare them away. They are feisty for their size. They will keep attacking the hawks. The hawks really can't do much to get rid of the mockingbirds., so finally the hawks retreat to their territory.
Move subject glasses away from backdrop. Use the lowest f/ stop you have to blur out backdrop.
Looks like fun. Every time I have been to Bert's Bar in the afternoon a couple if Cracker's got in a fight
Lightroom CC will only work with a 64 bit system on a PC
