I'm just getting ready to upgrade to a digital SLR and have been trying to figure out a filing system and where/how to store such large files (I'm a Mac user too, but have a G4 iMac). And you're spot on about taking great images with any camera. I just got accepted into a photography show with pics I shot on a digital point-n-shoot. Looking forward to your next photography-related post! Jon,

This is one of the few sites I frequently visit even though I also subscribe via Google Reader because the actual site offers more than the feed, ie great design, much bigger pics, cool community except for the rabid conservatives in some comment threads :) Thanks for the reply, and great job.

Wordpress 2.7 has comment replies, but it's a bear to figure out. I'm using that and a plugin for OpenID visitors (like yourself). I coded the CSS so it makes it easier to see who is replying to you. :-) Thanks!

It's kind of hard to explain in a comment. I'll probably do a post. This guy is against RAW for the most part: http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/raw.htm Whereas this guy makes a strong case for RAW: http://michaelmistretta.com/2008/raw-vs-jpeg/ I like being able to recover from mistakes, especially when shooting kids in sub-optimal settings and pets. RAW gives you more flexibility and more ability to tweak. Even RAW shots that are not taken with a super high end camera give you more to work with.

You really should look into the Drobo, if only for research. I’ve toyed with a NAS, but the Drobo adds a level of flexibility that a RAID alone does not.

FreeNAS is a miniaturized version of FreeBSD linux that lets a box function as network attached storage. You can do pretty much all the same things you just mentioned, including having RAID configurations, throwing on additional external USB drives, etc., and accessing any of it via standard network protocols, inside or outside your network.

I have a nice digital SLR but don't totally know how to use it, but perhaps someday I'll be upset that I didn't shoot in RAW?

I'm frightened of it, but I would definitely want it over my own organization, which is basically just, "Throw it all into a photographs folder with the photos dated through Lightroom dating and then organize it when I get to it." Though, your folder scheme is certainly inspiring me to get to organizing my own. Thanks for the motivation. ^_^. Your photo workflow is both disturbingly and wonderfully organized.
