    Copying from SD card to Hard Drive/SSD in "light" way

    Not strictly true, I use a Hyper Colorspace & it fulfils the above perfectly. I also carry spare SSD's to plug into it for extra storage. https://shotkit.com/hyperdrive-colorspace-udma-2-review/

    Does upgrading your PC make much of a difference to Lightroom ?

    Also YES. HOWEVER, Not all processors (CPU's) are the same - dual core / quad core. Not all SSD drives are the same. This is also have a major impact, The RAM will also have an effect on the speed.

    YES, Finally.

    As he is now more than just a occasional visitor I guess you should name him... On a side note, I still get my fox visit 6 out of 7 nights & he still follows for a walk with my wife & me when we take the dog (wolf!) out for his night pee break. Most nights 2 turn up - Ben & Neptune. They love...

    Motorbikes

    Its fun but do it in the early morning before cars start to drive up it. Then it can be an exercise in frustration. As a side note when I did it: In Italy 30+ C, at the top of the pass, 6 C - I literally froze - lol. I can safely say that I did beetle down the other side though... I...

    1tb USB memory sticks?

    I wouldn't use usb memory cards to store on unless it was backed up elsewhere. That being said, I wouldn't store on any media with out a backup on another form of media. Sadly they all fail.

    Two monitors or 1 ultra wide?

    Always go twin of the same size (or 3) lol.. I now use 2 x Dell 2718's although used to use a Dell 3011 & a 2410. All of the screens are great but its a lot easier to use the 2 x 27's than the 30 & 24. Also the balance of the desk is more central - 30's occupy a lot of real estate. I have...

    Recover deleted files?

    Check the image numbers & time stamps on the files - that will give you a good guess as to if you have missing files.

    Not in my back yard ... surely? *We have EVEN MORE cubs!*

    My interaction with them has been always on the basis of that they should fear humans (well other than me - LOL). And I can safely say that they run from other people. I live 2 miles from Heathrow Airport and its a very busy area with lots of movement of cars and people. If they see me then...

    Not in my back yard ... surely? *We have EVEN MORE cubs!*

    As I haven't put any updates since I thought I'd mention that all 6 foxes are doing perfectly - a couple with limps due to rough playing. None are now suffering from mange and are all perfectly healthy. The alpha is relaxed sleeping on my garden & now 4 of them will follow me on a walk back...

    Cold weather clothing

    Yes laying on a mat in artic conditions is to be advised. Get a blow up version, it doesn't need to be full length, and at those temps shoes, gloves & hat are where I'd first look. Laying still in cold weather means you want to be in the position of being able to take the shot when it is...
