The transfer was one of the features why we selected this camera. Point being is that we typically collect all photos fr m iPhones etc in one shared iCloud folder for the family spread around the globe to see.

Such folders are like near real time blogs. We tried adding pictures from a camera later on but that never really worked for us.


So for now I’ve decided to follow a dual track solution.

I’ll continue with transfer as it is for family purposes.

Secondly I’ve set up a new complete photo section on Mac, named “Full size” in which I will transfer the photos directly from the card into the Mac and use those more for the new found hobby photography.

Then time will tell how these two will merge eventually.

Ps on backup: next to back up in the cloud I’ve got full automatic backup on set of large hard drives as well. As soon as an of my devices enters home network, the backup is synced.

Plus I have put in some pretty strong security measures, not just the average firewall but sophisticated software protection, double authentication etc plus some serious physical security as well (fire burglary storage etc)

In today’s environment people are way to sloppy with securing their data.

Macro versus compression

Hi As some of you might be aware of, I’m on a self-tutoring experiment with photography. One of the subjects I’m trying to master is macro photography. I thought that would be the proverbial “cup of tea”. I’ve got a pretty good camera Nikon D7500, pretty ...  

I saw the same model today at the VC boutique

Interesting real world example... the internet viewer (or smart phone user) will not be able to tell the difference... the marvels and convenience of technology ; ). What's the process when you shoot in RAW? I imagine the file is converted to in-camera jp...

You’ve hit the nail on the head, if all files uploaded or downloaded to forums etc are compressed anyway and on devices the difference is hardly noticeable, then why even care work8ng with big files in the first place. But if you put the two next to each ... 

Turn off the transfer, pull the card and stick it into your Mac, then drag in the photos.

Problem solved. I have to force myself to do this because the other way, as you have noticed screws up everything. I do have my desktop going to the Apple Cloud, but not my entire library which is still in (obsolete) Aperture. And I am backed up on extern... 

Thanks for your suggestion.

I think the dual track is the best approach

Frankly, the new generation of software and devices working with social media spreads across the web billions of images all tagged by time, subject, Face ID and location. Who could ask for more? Or less? Well, someone who doesn’t want his watch photos tag...

Digital photography. Start to understand systems. A mirror reflex camera, and all it’s benefits. What is important? 1. Light. Make pictures with good light. Example: Professional photographers use huge lamps. 2. Make pictures in RAW. This gives the maximu...
