(General Chit-Chat (non-photography talk))

Something a little different today - Stephane Grappelli

I have an album here somewhere that was a collaboration between Grapelli and Jean Luc Ponty (a great violinist if you've never heard of him). It is pretty special.

Nikon D500 discontinued???

Are you implying that racing stripes don't make my car go faster?

Need advice on portable HDD

I've had all brands of portable HDDs fail over the years causing me to lose both professional and personal files. I now only use SSDs - they are relatively inexpensive these days and if they do fail are almost 100% recoverable (versus the issues caused by head crashes on spinning disk). I've picked up 1TB SanDisk SSDs at Costco for $120. Amazon offers 1 and 2 TB SSDs from Samsumg, SanDisk and others at pretty decent prices.

I'm just waiting for desktop SDDs to become a bit more affordable as backup to the backup... I'll never buy another HDD

Exposure X6 Photo Editing sw

Does anyone here have experience using this product and are willing to share the good, bad & ugly? I have CS5.5 and I'm looking to rev up to something a bit newer primarily because the sw is misbehaving on high res monitors.

In How Many Ways Can Photos Be Categorised?

Hmmmm, if I had to categorize it would be: what I like; what I don't like; what others like; what others don't like. One of the worst images I ever took resulted in a print that, after hours of experimentation, heavy PP, and printing on a metallic paper I thought was pretty cool. I'm not going to tell you how many people asked for copies. The point is, it's all in the eye of the beholder.

Saving all photos to one drive

Picture Taker wrote:

Now that you put them on one drive. Take an other hard drive and duplicate it. You should have it backed up if a drive fails you may not be able to recover all. All drives fail sooner or later. Most may out last us, but if they don't you have a copy to back up again.

After having lots of hard drives fail over the years, I spend more money and buy SSDs. If they do fail, recovery is almost 100%. I've lost literally 2-4 years worth of work files over the last decade and spent $1000s in data recovery services only to discover that 75% of the "recovered" files are corrupt. Never again...

How often should you clean your camera and sensors

I dunno, RTFM was/is a common response for a plethora of software and hardware issues. The number of times I've gleaned useful information from reading user manuals is pretty big if truth be told.

Wondering about Nikon

rjriggins11 wrote:

The D80 had a faulty phase switch that failed on all of them. most of the first series D series had faulty aperture control units. The D7000 and the D750 series have faulty shutters that fly apart. On the D7000 this also took out the low pass filter on the image sensor.The list goes on and on and goes back quite a few years. That's why I'm a Canon shooter and repair Nikons for a living.

Interesting. I have a D7000 that I've used for years in all kinds of inclement conditions and it has never failed to produce excellent results. I also have a D80 and a D610. No issues with any of them. Maybe I'm lucky or maybe the issues reported were from people who don't treat their equipment with the respect it deserves.

Btw, I still have my 35mm Canon gear from the 70s. Love it but switched to Nikon for digital.

CS3 problem

That's why I have security software, regularly scheduled scans and the appropriate firewalls in place. Practicing safe computing is a given regardless of platform.

"Win 7 is dangerous"

That's a pretty bold statement - please enlighten me. The tech company I worked for up until last September was still using Win 7 on all of its consultants' laptops and I think they knew something about security and locking down an environment.

I have Win 7 Pro on one of my laptops and have never had an issue. Same with Win 8.1 Pro on a tablet.

Best Selling Cameras of the Decade

rehess wrote:

According to KEH, 10 out of 10 of their best selling ILC cameras over the years 201x were DSLRs labeled either 'Canon' or 'Nikon' - in fact 49 out of 50 were.

I'm surprised the Canon F1 is not on the list. I still have my 1970s model along with my FTB-QL
