The Coolest Photographers in the World!!
View allAll Photos Tagged BackUp
I got my computer back from the fix-it guys yesterday and restored over a thousand photos from the iPhotos backups on my external drive. Oh bliss. I have now got a replacement copy of Lightroom 5.7.1 and am now adding in over 4,000 RAW photos.
This was taken last September, processed then and stored on my external drive.
I've been to Brugge a few times now and have got to know many of the famous haunts. This spot is a Mecca for tourists and photographers alike with the dog leg in the canal, the ornate brick buildings and the towering Belfry in the background.
We were on my cycling clubs spring tour; Brugge is a short hop over the English Channel for us, (two hours by ferry), and a 65 mile bike ride. Lucky enough we had a car and a van for backup so I was able stow some of my photographic kit.
Late one night I was able to extricate myself from the usual socialising and leg it to this spot approximately a mile from our hotel. Thankfully most of the tourists, (yes I know I'm one), had left the city or were tucked away in their hotels for the evening. Blue hour was coming to an end and thankfully the canal was mirror calm. The huge tungsten lights gave the scene a surreal quality with their orange glow which allowed me to capture this gorgeous night scene.
7 exposure, tripod mounted hdr -3 - +3. Nikon D700 with 16 - 35 f4 vr @ 22mm. ISO 800, exposure 1/5 - 25 sec at f9. Post processing via adobe camera raw, photomatix, & photoshop with topaz clarity and de noise plugins. I really had to mess around with the pp to try and remove banding in the blue sky. Anyone ever come across this problem?

Calling for Backup - A Bald Eagle calls to its mate for some backup to defend its nesting territory.
This image was taken 5 years ago in Alaska. The Bald Eagles against the stunning mountain scenery evoked a sense of freedom and majesty that I fondly remember. Wishing everyone a safe and happy 4th!

You get two of almost everything, 2 eyes, 2 hands, 2 legs but only one of the most important things...one brain, one heart. Seems like there should be a backup if hearts can break and minds can get lost.

Do they have enough backup lights? Where are they going...Back To The Future? I can understand why with all the self driving cars on the horizon. What fun is that?

If you believe fully in yourself you won't even think about having a backup plan If you really know in your heart that you are doing the right thing, there will be no doubt. If there is doubt, then either it is the wrong path or you are not ready. Your fear is what makes you doubt yourself, and it is this fear that you must overcome first. This fear makes you look for security. The need of a safety net says that you don't believe that you can make it. That creates a self-fulfilling prophecy. If there's no question in your mind then you will proceed as though you've already made it.
