Backing up is critical. I just came back from a job in Palm Springs, first thing I did was go straight from the airport to the office to backup that job to the server and the two mirrors I keep at the office. Absolutely CRITICAL.
Insurance too, this should be required by law, it’s cheap as chips, there’s no reason any working photog shouldn’t have it.
Pro tip! Ditch the Moleskine for Leuchtturm. It hold's fountain pen ink much better than the Moleskine ;)
Thanks. I don't really know anything about pens and paper so will deffo check that out.
Sort of thing they should teach us at school
Enough liability insurance to cause absolute Chaos :))
Scott, Absolutely love your content have been smashing your clips! Myself and wife are getting a lot out of your insight. Thank you!
Last is best - glad you like the Moleskine's too moved to those years ago ..... I used to use Chartwell's survey books with a Rotring ...... still do when ideas pop in for a visit .....
I automatically transfer files from my computers to a Synology which is then replicated to another Synology which then gets replicated up to the cloud. Both Synologys have hard drives attached which are used for incremental backups meaning I have at least a couple of months worth of local backup to look through before I head over to the cloud service to look for something.
I've also got a small NAS I can use on shoots as a portable backup. And yes, this gets backed up to the other NAS boxes when I get home.
Bonus tip on the Kaweco pen: you can convert it to be en eyedropper pen.... Just put a rubber gasket/ O ring at the base of the threads... fill up the whole shaft with ink and you are good to go... with a shitload of ink in your pen. A lotmore than what a cartridge can hold. Oh and you have a huge variety of inks to chose from :)
Great video
Amazing! I have a few Kaweco’s myself. (Now i am definately getting a new green one 😂)
agree with everything...except I wont use any bag but my lowepro protactic
Not a pro. Yes an off site back up is very important but so is this tip.
For goodness sake label all the folders so you know what's in them. Give individual photos a name within that folder if they are important ones. Organise a filing system on disk to find things easily.
Or you can be like me. I have thousands of pictures but finding what I want is a nightmare. When I took up my hobby it didn't seem important and I was sure naming the folder with the date (some of the time) would be enough. It isn't and that a lot of photos all called DSC 2xxxx in NEFF and JPG doesn't help either.
I don't have clients who want copies of the photoshoot from 5 years ago. I can't find the beach photo's from two years ago because I didn't organise a filing system to easily find things years later.
I keep putting off sorting the mess out, meanwhile I keep taking more pics and it gets worse.
I'm sure if you are a pro you will be more organised but don't just dump stuff to backup and tell yourself you will sort it out later because you probably won't because it's in three different places.
I have folders prefixed by date with the description of the shoot making up the rest of the name. Images that are edited before use or publication go in to a subfolder, along with a text file describing what's going on.
I did look at ThumbsPlus as a database system for a pro friend of mine, and I'm sure that there are other systems or even the catalogue from one on the post-processing software providers, but the shambles on his hard drives was beyond recovery! Plus it requires discipline!! Personally, I'm too old and poor to invest in something like the Adobe, or similar, products.
Tip regarding the date: Use YYMMDD (or YYYY if you have lived or intend to live that long) as the format for the date prefix, that way file names sort in date order.
Slightly off topic, but the same applies for, say, "Weekly Status Report YYMMDD.DOC", as I found it immensely frustrating when people insisted on DDMMYY (I guess USAians would be MMDDYY, but same issue).
I love backblaze ❤
നന്ദി🙏
Backblaze is great, but first backup takes weeks, and of course it chews up bandwidth. I’m an advocate of the multiple hard drive approach.
I would be interested to see what's in your camera bag and especially how you pack it for convenience on the job.
Yes it's just a bag but I'm interested.
Like my nerdy coder friend says: “Any data only exists if it’s in three places… or it doesn’t”.
