I have been organizing my photos in order to back them up to an external hard drive. I find it amazing that I have over 5,000 photos! I've decided it would probably kill me if I would lose
all those photos - so, time to do a little safeguarding.
I'm sure you are wondering how I have amassed over 5000 photos since the summer of 2008. I thought you might like to know the process I go through. When we are out on the bike, I take about 200 - 300 pictures. I then go through those pictures and delete the really awful ones. Next, I study those pictures left to determine if they are worth keeping and if there are duplicates that are not necessary to keep - and I delete those not making this cut. I am usually left with somewhere between 40 and 100 photos that I like. My next step is to give each picture a file name. Then it's time to run each photo through my software that will enhance the colors and allow me to crop any pictures that need it. (I do not change or edit my photos - only enhance what is already there.) Depending upon the number of photos, this can take up to 3 or 4 days. Finally, I go through the photos again and determine if they are good enough to let others see them. Those that make this cut will be uploaded to my FaceBook page or to this blog. A lot of work - but, something I really enjoy doing.
Back to the backing up story - while I was organizing my photos, I notice a few pictures that I liked and that probably didn't get posted. Here they are ~

The photos are breathtaking! Organizing them is tough, isn't it!? I still don't have a very good method
