I've been meaning to try it for years.<br /><br />I have quite a backup system here for all my photos, plus my Web site and personal files. It would be quite a loss otherwise if a hard drive were to fry.Jimhttp://blog.jimgrey.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-26354725801373296422012-09-09T16:06:51.248-06:002012-09-09T16:06:51.248-06:00I should add that my thinking was the same as your...I should add that my thinking was the same as yours in setting up the site originally regarding bandwidth. At this point, though, I don't think I should have a problem with my site's bandwidth as the web site doesn't get nearly the traffic of the blog. Also, it is nice to have everything properly backed up on my local hard drive. If I ever need to move things elsewhere now, I should be able to do it with a couple clicks.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00776670666673938282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-66646173523621723632012-09-09T11:45:49.682-06:002012-09-09T11:45:49.682-06:00The Clack is one of those cameras with prices all ...The Clack is one of those cameras with prices all over the board. They are common as dirt in Europe, but can be hard to find at a reasonable price in the U.S.<br /><br />It is really a great shooter; that big negative size captures a lot more sharp detail than seems possible. The main thing to watch out for if you have the close-up setting on yours is to not be fooled by the overly-optimistic range setting. It says 3-10 ft for the near setting, but in my experience the sharp focus distance is 7 feet.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00776670666673938282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-5612465742264494032012-09-09T11:20:17.426-06:002012-09-09T11:20:17.426-06:00I use Flickr as my image repository, serving both ...I use Flickr as my image repository, serving both my blog and my jimgrey.net domain. I used to self-host images on my site but got worried about potential bandwidth costs. I do pay for the Pro account so I can upload unlimited photos, which is probably more expensive than the bandwidth overages I would have paid otherwise. It's worth it for being able to upload once and use anywhere on the Web.<br /><br />I've thought about adding a cameras/photo section to my jimgrey.net domain but it is SO much easier to update the blog. My current Cameras page on the blog has gotten long and unwieldy, and I could design a more usable page for my main site, but it would take more effort to add a camera and I'm sure I'd go long periods where I didn't keep up with it.<br /><br />ps. I just finally bought myself an Agfa Clack; should arrive in the mail this week. Those things are surprisingly expensive on eBay.Jimhttp://blog.jimgrey.netnoreply@blogger.com
