The G-Drive : Prefect Photo Storage

Sunday, August 22, 2010 · 5 Comments

One of the biggest resources I consume as a photographer is storage. If you shoot your photos in RAW mode you suddenly jump from images of 5-10MB to CR2 files weighing in around 25MB. If you are just starting out on your photographic journey you may well be getting to ...
