I made the error of storing my beloved photos on a photo gallery on my computer. When it crashed last month, I lost everything for the past 5 years. I was crushed.
Digital camera - Yes. Both the wife & I print some but not for albums. We are gradually learning more about making better quality travel presentations - including video clips, etc. Backup to external drives is much easier now. I had a similar mishap like Baw. I don't want to do that again. Photography is now the wife's hobby.
I still have 35mm film cameras. I am thinking about going back to using them since photo slide colors seem to be more vivid & warmer in tone.
Sing, dance & take pictures in the rain....
I do a variety of things. I print out a few for albums; I upload most to a website like Kodak; I keep some in My Pictures on my PC. Once I've done all that I delete them from the camera
I print 50 or so of the best photos from vacations, etc. and leave the rest on the computer. I have lost photos that way but at least have the best ones, like to keep them on a photo CD too, Vista is not as simple to do that as XP.
I select around 25 a month for photos. I burn the rest to CDs. I am going to put the lot on a DVD when I get round to it. The The memory card in camera at moment is 4gb so will hold around 1500 photos,when that's exhausted I'll also save that card and buy another
I do both. Some I print and some I leave on the computer. I back it up frequently, so I have copies on an external drive. I also email some of the best to family, so they have copies. When the drive gets full, I move some of them to a CD.
I am trying to learn how to transfer or duplicate them onto a flash drive as well as cd/dvd. I have pretty dissatisfied with the long term quality of printing them at home. we got a new printer, use only the highest quality ink and photo paper... I dont know.
I put them all on CD's in case the hard drive crashes.
I print a few to keep an album of the grandkids.
I put them on a thumb drive and only print out the ones I really want to display.
I have a flickr account where I store my photos. A computer crash doesn't affect it. It costs about $25 per year, and I can either make my own prints or I can order them from flickr.
