First of all, thank you for your wonderful comments on my "Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market" series!

 

I just finished reading "Norwegian Wood" by Haruki Murakami as recommended by some of you. The book came into life in the last 50 pages. I still haven't decided whether I like his work or not, but I have already purchased "The Wind Up Bird Chronicles".

 

So I have decided to upload some of my pictures taken earlier this year in Japan again. They were resurrected from my faulty harddisk.

My harddisk is full, I have a cold, I had to try something different, b&w, never did much of that digital.....

This is from Svaneke on the small Danish island of Bornholm way out in the Baltic Sea. The only place in Denmark with outcropping igneous rocks.

Being a balloon, you only have two choices:

 

Being popped or fly away.

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.

After I finished my holidays photos of Thailand and Myanmar it's time to make a backup of my processed photo's. I even have a backup of my backup. Please note the average lifetime of a harddisk is only 5 years. So do not forget to renew your harddisk. Regular backup protects your data. My digital photo backup started in 1998. My photo's are precious to me. My photo's are not yet all in the cloud. Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future. You need to take time to make a backup. You realize that you need it when it is too late. Photo of my portable Seagate hard drive. It offers an easy-to-use solution when you need to instantly add storage to your computer and take files on the go. It's as big as you'd imagine a squarish plastic box holding a standard 2.5-inch hard drive on the inside would be. Basically, it's small enough to be easily tucked in inside a purse or your back pocket.

 

Macro photo taken with a modified Canon EF35-80mm f/4-5.6 lens. Turn your old Kit Lens into a superb Macro lens by removing the front element. Give this old lens a new life. It's a macro shot of my 2.5" portable Seagate hard drive.

 

At first glance, the Canon EF35-80mm f/4-5.6 seems like a very average lens. However, if you can look past the plastic mount, slow aperture, and cheap build quality, this lens is by far the best macro lens out there for its price. A simple modification is needed to turns this otherwise ordinary lens into a super-macro lens that works in a similar fashion to the Canon MP-E 65mm. I removed the front sticker, unscrewed 3 retaining screws, and removed the front 3 elements (the AF elements). Please check youtu.be/5a6n_OAmjSg With these elements removed, the lens is focused by either zooming it in/out or by moving the camera back/forth, just like one would do with the MP-E 65mm 1-5x macro lens. The loss of autofocus is hardly a concern since the camera will still tell you when you hit the currently selected focal point, so I tend to use those and shoot as soon as you hear the beep of your camera. After the mods, I would say that this lens goes from around 1:1.5 to ~2:1 life size magnification. Truly amazing results for something I bought for less than 25 EUR in an Used Product store. Indeed, even dedicated macro lenses can't exceed 1:1 magnification without using extension tubes. And, to make the deal even sweeter, you still get full electronic metering and aperture controls just like you would with any other EF lens. The focussing distance is tiny, at 35mm you have maybe 5cm and more like 2cm at 80mm, it's not a very easy lens to use, but this is what makes getting the good shots so much more rewarding!

I want so say a big, big thank you to all of you for all the many favs and comments to my photos. So I made something special for you - a 360 degrees panorama of the beautiful winter landscape in the giant mountains. Hope you'll like it. This shot is made from a lookout Tower and consists of 15 particular photographs. This will temporary be my last post because the harddisk of my computer crashed on thursday. This means probably a loss of 200GB of photos since last summer. Hopefull the technicians come back to me with good news mid of next week.

 

Ich möchte euch allen gerne ein dickes Dankeschön schicken für all die vielen "mag ich"s und die netten Kommentare zu meinen Fotos. Aus diesem Grund hab ich mal spezielles gemacht - ein 360° Panorama von der wunderschönen Landschaft im verschneiten Riesengebirge. Ich hoffe, es gefällt euch. Das Foto selbst besteht aus 15 einzelnen Bildern, die in der Nachbearbeitung zusammengefügt wurden. Vorläufig wird das mein letztes Fotos sein. Am Donnerstag hat sich mein Rechner mit einem Festplattenfehler verabschiedet. Im schlimmsten Fall bedeuted das den Totalverlust von 200GB Fotos seit letztem Sommer. Ich hoffe, die Techniker haben nächste Woche gute Nachrichten für mich.

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...

route 66 next to wigwam motel

In the Fall of 2020, I resolved to acquire a new PC, as my then-current one was 6 or 7 years old and running Windows 7, which was no more updated. I had to go to version 10, and such a big upgrade required new hardware.

 

As I usually do, I inquired left and right to find out what the best components would be for that new PC, and before I assembled them, I had fun taking pictures of some of them.

 

These two photos show the solid state “hard disks” I installed inside the case, in addition to three more traditional ones which I use for backup. Those Samsung drives are much faster, much more reliable as they contain no moving parts, and certainly a lot easier to install! :o))

Despite the magic rings in the buttom, the way I got this photo is more dramatic.

 

I shot this photo on last sunday, while I had no time to see what they look like, my laptop was stolen on Monday, and yes, all the files are in the harddisk and I have deleted those files in my CF card.

 

The police then came to my office to collect the finger prints, and also told me that there's no chance to get my VAIO back, because the thief is a professional islander girl, and she is well know by the police. She steal things from office buildings and sell them to drug dealers.

 

Well, that's the most bad news I have ever heard since... well, whatever, it's very bad anyway.

 

I started to think data missing in my laptop, then the photos I shot on Sunday came to my mind, oh, pretty bad. I then started to search solutions to recover my files from the CF card, and I did it! So now I have my photos back by some magic software and thanks god it is so worthy!

 

Now I'll try to live up and maybe try to forget my little VAIO.

Hard Disk, la memoria moderna.

Phew, finally, a spring photo without that glaring light green of young leaves! I have to admit that I was getting a bit bored with that particular flavor of green.

 

This one's a welcome alternative for me.

  

Update: ok, after going back a few photos from last week, I have to admit that there aren't so many examples of green explosions. But I can assure you that I still have many shots from that one graveyard visit on my harddisk and those where the ones I meant.

One of the few photos I have from our trip to Perugia and Assisi. The rest have been 'eaten' by a hungry harddisk.
