Re: PESO My first stereo image
Works perfectly for me. Once I'd got the position right (approx 1 metre away from the screen which is a 27 iMac) it locked in and I could look round the image just like you said.

Re: Keeping photos on an external drive
It took a weekend for my LR library to sync with OneDrive, but that was significantly less than 1TB; otoh I do seem to have quite fast broadband. Once the initial upload is done the changes are quite quick and take place in the background, but I now use OneDrive as my primary storage and can access it from anywhere with wifi or 4G on any of my devices. This is very convenient and easily worth the cost of the Office 365 subscription which gets me so much cloud storage.

Re: PESO My first stereo image
Alan, there should only appear to be three images when you cross your eyes, if there's four then your eyes are crossed way more than need be, try gently cross so that the images split into three looking initially at the white dots above. Chris, yep, two shots only and 75mm shift on a rail, not ideal of course, you can seee anomalies in the water and on the bridge where people moved but it sure beats full replicating a system to allow for simultaneous exposure.

Cute capture Paul. Have you run into an aperature that causes the AF to not focus with the DA convertor? I believe that the old 1.7 AF convertor had a limit for AF to operate.

RE: Keeping photos on an external drive
If you're using wired external drives, then one of the simplest and fastest backup programs is Microsoft's SyncToy. This allows you to setup copies of any folder or collection of folders from , say an internal hard drive to an external hard drive, and once it is setup it is a simple one-click operation. You can organise it so that the two drives are completely synchronised, or that new or modified files on the originating drive are copied to the external drive, allowing archived files to be stored externally but not also on the internal drive. I use this with two external drives, giving me essentially mirrored backups, and it's quick and convenient to use: daily backups are a doddle.

I keep my B drive in a separate building to minimise the risk from fire or burglary. The earthquakes weren't big enough to find the flaw in my plan Thanks, David. It’s become clear in the course of preparing for this move that I need a completely new backup system. Currently I have two 1 Tb FireWire drives. Nowhere near enough, especially now that photos, and RAW files at that, are accumulating faster than they used to. I’m thinking of a setup that would provide hot-swappable drives and wifi accessibility. Not sure what benefit that would give you. Wifi slows things down enormously compared to a wired external drive. If you're not keeping anything on your machine's local drive then you're probably better off with 2 wired external drives and a regular backup job running automatically. This will be both cheaper and faster than wifi. You also need an offsite strategy in case the Big Bad Wolf blows your house down. You could shuffle a couple of backup drives between home and work once a week, but this relies on you having the discipline to do it, and has the weakness that at some point both backups are in the same place for a day, and therefore a temptation for the BBW. Or you could get some cloud storage and let your data trickle-feed up to there. If you have cloud storage then you don't need your backup external drive.

Re: PESO - A Kiss for Mom
The limit was more camera dependent, if the open aperture is close to or below the ev threshold for the AF sensor, auto focus will be problematic. In bright light I've never had the AF 1.7x fail achieve focus with any lens and camera body I've tried it with. It really starts to hunt with the *ist-Ds in dim lighting with any lens with a maximum aperture of f4.0 or slower. I never noticed an issue with it on film bodies, but then again I never had insanely high ISOs to work with with film. The documentation states that it's limited to lenses with a maximum aperture of 2.8 or wider. On 11/9/2014 7:22 PM, Ken Waller wrote: Cute capture Paul.
