Thanks Dan! That’s a good question, and I really don’t know as I haven’t used 
the F28 2.8 at all. I do have the FA28 2.8, and should probably dust it off and 
use it some time...

K30mm 2.8 video review

[Juan Buhler]

Hi PDML,

I've been teaching myself how to shoot and edit videos. I'm bad at it!

Anyway I've been making short lens reviews. It's a way to force myself to
use a lens consistently over a few weeks, and in the meantime learn how to
do product shots, and script, narrate and edit a video. It's harder than it
seems and I've gained a lot of respect for people who make it seem easy.

I just posted my third video, first of a Pentax lens. Take a look:

The important thing is not losing all of your backups at the same time.  There 
are many ways that you could lose access to your data on cloud storage.  They 
could go out of business, go out of that business, you could lose your network 
access, they could raise their rates to more than you want to pay, or simply 
completely restoring from online backups over a slow internet connection could 
take weeks.  There are definite advantages to having them as one element of a 
backup strategy.

If you have four copies but they are all at your house any natural disaster, or 
a burglary could wipe them all out.  Even if you have offsite copies across 
town the same disaster could wipe out all of your copies.  

There is no backup solution that works for everyone.  However, if you don’t 
have multiple copies, in multiple places at some point you will lose data.

Re: online photo storage platforms reviewed

[Bob Pdml]

The chances of that are probably massively lower than the chances of you losing 
them. I don’t think Apple, Microsoft, Adobe, Amazon and Google are in the 
business of losing their customers’ data.

The big players will have multiple copies with far better back-up than the 
likes of you and me, and the chances of them going out of business without 
clients being able to make other arrangements, are negligible.

To my mind the only reasons not to use cloud storage are if it’s too expensive 
or if one needs guaranteed access offline, eg somewhere with no or poor 
connectivity. In many cases the offline storage comes bundled with other 
services that one pays for anyway. In the second case of course one needs local 
storage, but that in itself doesn’t strike me as an argument against cloud 
storage as a backup, only for working copies.

All my photos are stored in the cloud version of LR. I used to keep a separate 
local backup when I had a laptop, but I don’t bother now. My other data is on 
OneDrive, mostly, and whatever the Apple version is called. If I could be 
bothered it would be easy to sync everything to a second cloud service so I 
could assure myself that I had two copies, but I’m sufficiently confident that 
these organisations have their own backups that I really don’t worry my pretty 
little head about it.

I use a 5 bay Drobo. Nothing fancy. I put files on it and let it
sort itself out. The only thing I've done extra is I'm using dual disc
redundancy,  so the thing can have two drives kaak on me and still not lose
data.

I'm happily smugmug - the $200 a year is worth it... for me it is my 
place to sell photos but I do load things just for backup too.  The 
sales are low these days
and they never were much, but as the article pointed out they leave your 
pages set the way you set 'em.  I just wish I had loaded more keywords 
over the years

Re: OT Covid stuff

We received our second Moderna shots Wednesday.  I had no reaction, other
than mild pain right at the injection site for 24 hrs and a general feeling
of slight fatigue.  My wife, who is a year younger, had strong headaches
and fever the day after and pain and stiffness in her entire arm for three
days now.

Re: PESO: European Goldfinch

[David Mann]

Thanks to everyone for the feedback.  It's nice to rediscover a bit of 
photographic mojo.  New equipment does that, I suppose.

At the risk of sounding like Pierre de Fermat, last week I took a wonderful 
photo of my daughter and her best friend running towards me, using the K5ii and 
FA200mm lens, but I can't show it here.  I was pleasantly surprised at how well 
the AF tracked them.  And the sensor in this camera is made of pixie dust.

I'm also slowly coming to grips with Adobe Camera Raw; I'm getting far better 
results now than I was with Photoshop alone.

Cheers,
Dave
