Some days, you just have to make the computer see things your way....
(done reloading software for tonight)
An old one from last winter that I found in the depths of my harddrive. Funny how I missed (mist?!) it. :0)
It was a nice weekend but I couldnt go out for a photoshoot thanks to the incessant rains. Hence was backing up all my precious photos in my freeagent (read 'my trusted guardian').Then I realized the sky was glowing beautifully and thought of paying my seagate harddrive a tribute :)
How many arches will fit on a hard drive?
This shot was inspired by malcolm_parr's Abbey Road on My Hard Drive and a brief discussion on how to treat a defunct drive :^)
Once I had the image I wanted in mind it was worth carting it from Albuquerque to Moab and packing it the three miles round to Delicate Arch.

This is one magnetic head of a harddrive (a Conner CP3204F) from the early 1990s. It has a capacity of 200MB! I kept it for so many years and now, I have decided to throw it away. I thought, I should do a quick "snap before dump". Maybe, I even keep it a few days longer for some more pictures.
Last week, I mentioned my harddrive crashing on my old iMac computer towards the end of my 2 1/2 week roadtrip through Colorado, Utah, and Vegas. I bring the old computer on roadtrips, because I don't care if it gets scratched up. At the time I was fairly confident that the files would all be recovered, being as the drive is only about one year old. As soon as I got back to the motorhome, I yanked the drive out of the old computer and plugged it into my new computer. After repeated efforts to repair the drive with Disc Warrior, I gave up and sent the drive in to the company I shoot for. We have a computer guy there who can fix just about anything. He couldn't do it. So… The company decided it was worth sending it in to a data recovery place where they actually disassemble the drive in a clean room and try to extract what they can. (for well over a thousand dollars) I was totally confident that this would work. Yesterday I got the sad news that it did NOT!
Normally when I take these side-trips, I don't clear off any memory cards until I get back and have everything backed up on multiple drives. This trip was longer than most. The photo conditions were better than most. So, I shot much more photos than I normally do. About a week into the trip, I had to start re-using memory cards. I was in the middle of nowhere, so going out and buying more cards wasn't really an option, and seriously, what were the chances of my harddrive crashing in the few days between re-using my cards and returning home to back up my files. So, that's exactly what happened.
In total, I lost about 1500 photos from one of the best weeks of photography I have ever had. Most of my fall photos from Colorado. Arches. Goblin Valley. Vegas. Hoover Dam. Zion. Grand Canyon. All GONE! This SUCKS!!!!!
I just pulled the memory card out of my infrared camera. This photo from around Telluride is all that remains from the first week of that trip.
Another archive shot taken back in 2008 up on the Berwyns. Best viewed large.
I'm looking to buy a new external harddrive, any recommendations??
I've had this drive floating around since it failed and only now got around to taking a shot of it.
Shot inside a quickie light box - a sheet of white foam core left and right, another on top.
Strobist info:
SB-24 @ 1/4 power with blue gel behind subject pointed up and bouncing off foam core "roof", SB-24 @ 1/4 power with orange gel behind and to right of subject pointed at 45 degree angle to foam core "wall".
A pair of double-sided hard-drive platters. These are from a failed drive I took to the Garner booth at the RSA conference last year. Garner manufactures data destruction equipment and this drive was first placed in their demagnitizer which hits the drive with a 20,000 gauss magnetic pulse and then it was placed in the drive crusher. I pulled the platters from the crushed drive.
I found this picture on one of my harddrives this morning, a shot I took 5 years ago plus a couple months. It stands out because it is now the oldest shot in my photostream. I'd been taking shot since I was young, but most of those photos are either print, or on a computer's carcas somewhere in the abyss.
The day I took these shots I named my little "set" 'Gaining Back Inspiration'. Even if it'd be another 4 years until I started to fully embrace and meet my potential, it was still a pivotal day that's lead to all of the other's you've seen.
Managed to speed my computer up yesterday by removing three years worth of photos onto an external harddrive ive been needing to do it for some time and finally got around to it yesterday.
We a dance in my village hall last night and my plan was to walk up and get a lift back. I set about getting ready and just as I put my dress on the heavens opened up and it rained and rained and yep rained, So now I had to decide to either drive, try to get a lift of not bother going. in the end I managed to get a lift but I still needed the umbrella to get from mine to the vehicle. Now the vehicle turned out to be a big box van not very stylish lol. was nice to have the door opened for me though
Testing the Canon 24-105 f4 lens with an Ebay extension tube. I can't control the aperture but it works pretty well if you don't need any more depth of field in your macro shot. Usually more depth is good in extension tube macros so perhaps it's about time to step for an electronic extension tube. We'll see.
Something I've wanted to try for a while now, this is an old laptop hard-drive, with the lid removed.
Having seen the state of this platter, I think I now know why it stopped working - that thing should be smooth and shiny, as I understand it...
I´ve been spending some time this weekend going through some old stuff on my harddrives. It´s good to return with different eyes and see what I missed when I did my first selection.
This is Caroline in the beautiful soft light from my bedroom window, almost a year ago.

So, today I turned on my external harddrive to sift through some old photos and see if I wanted to go back and edit some...
Every photo on my external hd is gone. I have no idea how, but I feel like a huge chunk of me just fell apart and died.
This is my obligatory photo of the iconic Horseshoe Bend. This is west of Page Arizona, downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam and upstream from Lee's Ferry. Many tourists take a one day raft trip from the dam to Lee's Ferry and return by bus. This overlook is about 1/2 mile hike from the parking lot so lots of tourists see this. It is a long way down so folks with a fear of heights probably don't work out this far. I wish the clouds and light had been better. Oh well - play the hand that you are dealt. There are many exquisite photos of this iconic view so I have hesitated to post my offering. And I wanted to have it online in case my harddrive crashes again and I lose this shot. I had to prove that I can see as well as the others. A better wide angle lens is helpful. In my opinion too many people get too hung up on big panoramas and don't capture the essence.

Well I'll be off COMMs for a while. NoK has itinerary and SAR numbers. SITREP on return.
Description
I have been experimenting with this view quite a while. On my harddrive I have different exposures, different angles, different filter settings of almost the same subject. They all have their unique and special look. After reviewing almost any combination or any image, I decided to like this one best. It is always a real pleasure to get up really early in San Francisco and walk down to the piers. Almost nobody is out there except some crazy fishermen hunting for an early catch. From time to time you get into some nice small talk with one of them.
There was a street light which lit the wooden poles in the foreground. Fancy look!
Technique: f/11 t: 8,0sec ISO: 100focal length: 25mm on a Nikon D7000 (APS-C)
I used a darker exposure and hand blended it for better highlight recovery. Noise reduction by NIK software Dfine 2.0 (trial version), btw. excellent result(!), minor contrast and color corrections, dodge and burn using luminosity masks, a final touch in Lightroom again in order to get a good proof for web display.
Postprocessing:
Lightroom LR 3.3 and Phostoshop CS4

Recently I also show some of my flickr images at 500px
...this is how I feel what I am these days!!!
(actually these are two blossoms)
My laptop is broken, I hope I can recover most of the work and photos I did in the last days (last backup is 4 days ago --> a lot of work may be lost :-( ...) . Uploaded this one from my external harddrive. I have a lot of other problems as well to be solved in the next days, so please don´t be angry if I don´t comment(ed) on your photos!!!! See you soon!!!!!!
El Oro Parakeet (Pyrrhura orcesi) - Buenaventura Reserve, Ecuador
A break from Peru, an old photo from the vault, unfortunately I did not bring my harddrive with newer (and better) images of this species with me to Peru so this one will have to do. The talented Emma Steigerwald & myself just put out an article on Mongabay about this species and an ecological corridor being established for the benefit of the parakeets & other threatened species. The parakeets are endemic to a small portion of Ecuador and extremely endangered, this is the latest step in the effort to keep them from vanishing. If you'd like to learn more follow the link to the article below!

Digged a little bit on my harddrive, because Mr. Nightstalker80 wanted to see a colored version of castle Hochosterwitz. Have a look into the comments, there you will find it ;).
Habe wieder ein wenig auf meiner Festplatte "herumgegraben" weil Mr. Nightstalker80 eine farbige Version von der Burg Hochosterwitz sehen wollte. Schau mal in die Kommentare, da wirst Du fündig ;).

hehe this one is from 2 years ago, I'm making space in my harddrive and found those... I'm just posting it so I have the occasion to say I'm not forgetting to send the pictures from the picture giveaway, I've just had some stuff to figure out (and I thought I look like such a lovely person on the picture, what better way to make an announcement ;) )
