Recently one of my external Harddivers died on me and it was the one that I had my back up shots on. Took it to a place to retrieve my shots, I got a full run around. Took in a 1TB and when they were finished they asked for a 2 TB harddrive to put all my shots on. I understand why once I got home. Each and every shot was duplicated by 3 to 12 images of the same thing. In the defense of them the main people were not there and so this was my mistake.
It took me over a week of looking and either keep or delete. Then It got to the point where I got well and truly over it and just began to delete everything. I know I lost a few shots but I was over it at that stage.
Which bought me to this. I went back to my original photo file and look in there and seen shots which I, at that time thought they were top shots. Though now they would not even be where a 10 year old would want to keep. So it told me it was cull time.
My old camera was a 12.4 megapixel and my new one is a 24 megapixel, so the difference is easy to see. Some shot will just have to be in the keeper folder as they have got photo's of kids and pets. But things like flower and nature shot can be retaken and bought to a better quality to.
So the cull will begin today and I am hoping to half the amount of shots that I have kept. But the main thing is that I have improved and this could be down to knowing more and the new camera to. So it will have to be grit the teeth and just do it. So this is my plan of attack.
