Any Apple users who have migrated from iPhoto to Photo? Do the images stay in their assigned folders and albums during the changeover? Any hints? Was it complicated?

I have been putting this off for some time out of fear that my wonderfully organized photos (by topic) won’t stay in their designated locations.

Thanks for any help!!

We visited Antarctica last January....
Our trip leader suggested a baggie system that really worked. However, it was not for transition from outside to inside (which didn't seem to be a problem for anyone -- maybe because the temperature was usually between 20-30 degrees). Her method was to protect our camera during the zodiac rides to land.

Take a large baggie. Make little holes at the bottom to put your straps through. Then you are able to slide the baggie up and down to cover your camera as needed. My photos show how I used it. It was wonderfully easy.

Always keep it covered while on or near the water.....of course this won't work if you fall in. :)

Have a wonderful trip !!!!

Giving the digital photos to her parents would be a lovely idea but in this case probably not more appropriate. Our granddaughter loves to look at her photos and always pulls out the albums or my computer to see them. Her folks don’t take many photos. Shes leaving home for the first time and, knowing her well, I’m pretty sure she’s gonna love having this.

Wow. Great ideas!!!!!
Thanks!!!

Thanks so much to you all for the help and suggestions!!!!!

Much appreciated. 🤗

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good digital frame. This will be a gift for my granddaughter who is a high school graduate heading to college. I will load all the images I have taken of her since birth.
Fun project.

Thanks!!!

Thanks for your kind words -- and much needed inspiration Susan. I love your 2 photos and your amazing little orange friend makes me smile. Wonderful shot !!!!!

Thanks to everyone who has responded, in a sincere way, to my question.

I wanted to know when folks capture a meaningful image, if they are satisfied keeping the feeling, that the photo creates, to themselves -- or is there a need to share this feeling with others? And sharing, not for approval,....but just for the joy of sharing the feeling the image portrays.

I'm not overly concerned with photographic "rules". I'm more interested in the "feel" not "fact" that an image produces. As we all know a provocative image frequently has nothing to do with what is considered photographically "correct".

I have had some of my images accepted in photography shows and the experience was thrilling. My family and friends came and the sharing was a real celebration. When I capture what I consider to be an important image, I feel a sense of happiness, or awe, or sadness -- depending on the circumstance. I feel the need to share it with others. It often feels the image isn't complete if it remains only with me. Sometimes I will spend alone-time with my favorite images. However, the real fun comes from sharing.

Lately, I haven't felt like shooting. And I think it's because I've lost the desire to share: most folks are not really interested; 10,000 photos on my computer is enough to look at; there is no room left on my walls to hang them; my children and grandchildren are grown so I'm not shooting them anymore.

Alas, I have lost the desire to carry my camera around just in case I see something interesting. I will use it for travel, etc....but I've lost the every day passion. And that makes me sad. And I think it has to do with loosing the interest to share the photos.

Sorry for the ramble -- if you made it to the end of my tale....thanks!!

If you could not share the images you have taken, would you continue to shoot?

If 'yes', would you take fewer pictures or find photography a bit less interesting?

HaHa.....clearly I have no idea -- never kept records of my battery behavior -- and probably won't. So, it looks like I just take them all....and make sure I have a few backups with me at all times.

Thanks for your time....interesting stuff!

Thanks!! I'll check that out :)

Over the years I have purchased many batteries for my Canon Rebel XTi.

Unfortunately I didn't data them. Is there a way to tell how much life a battery has left? I only want to take the newest batteries on a trip.

Thanks folks.
