Random tips:
- You can use find in one command, rather then loop over the file extensions
find . -type f ! -name '*thumb*' \( -iname '*.tif' -o -iname '*.jpg'
-o -iname '*.jpeg' -o -name '*.orf' -o -name '*.nef' \)
- Might be a good idea to set IFS to '\0', combined with find's

So your root is 'o=myhosting'
If you want to create 'dc=example,dc=com,o=myhosting' I believe you'll
