Hi everybody. Welcome to Episode 46 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick McEvoy and I explain one photographic thing per episode in plain English in less that 10 minutes without the irrelevant detail. I have well over 30 years of experience in photography so I do know what I am talking about!

In this episode - My Step By Step Guide To How I Get The Photos Off My Camera (Safely and Securely)

Here is my answer

I get the photos off my camera by inserting the memory card directly into a slot on my PC. I import the photos into Lightroom, which at the same time makes a back up of the import on a separate hard drive. I apply some presets to the photos in Lightroom, and also carry out a cloud back up. I copy the photos to a hard drive stored off site before I delete the photos from the memory card. I always have three separate sets of images in separate locations.
