Practicing Photography

Practicing Photography - Getting better one photo at a time.

I am here to learn with you, make mistakes with you, and get better with you.

My videos will cover different aspects of photography and sometimes delve into the computer side that supports photographers. Much of what I do is wildlife, portrait, street, and projects. Projects are where I like to branch into other areas such as macro or special effects.

This channel will encourage you to take photos and to practice what you are learning from others.

So, make sure to subscribe to my channel to see more of what I create.

    I tune it once in a while. I hit the strings hard and they are getting old and probably losing their tune faster. Probably need to change them.

    I finally tuned it - I was way out of tune.... thanks for the heads up. Since I just play alone, I wasn't hearing how off it was.

    Thanks Doug. Question - is this your iCloud for storing all your photos? Is there a limit of what you can store in LR? I have photos back to 1975 and a couple years ago I lost some of those to my external hard drive crashing - was not able to find someone to recover them for under $2K! Broken hearted. So now I have saved all photo to several hard drives! One is a master drive and others are individual such as my genealogy photos, family photos and then others for documents, etc.

  • @PracticingPhotography

    I use external local hard drives and then use backblaze for my backups. Backblaze has unlimited storage and is automatic. I may over do it but, I have two copies at home and also in backblaze just in case I have a disaster at home.

    It is a monthly fee and you can cancel any time. But no refund on the month(s) you already pay. But if you start using either it is worth keeping.

    The sad part, is I need to practice that. I went to fly my drone and didn't have a memory card. I was saved by the 8GB internal storage. I have thought of putting extras in my car, but since my drone near miss, I now have multiple memory cards stored in each camera bag I own.
