Let me give you some advice: print pictures as possible and preferably at least in sizes that go from 13x18 up.
The reason? Simple, the hd dvd and they break, they become unreadable and can, in one shot clear a lifetime of memories.
Nothing is more volatile and uncertain of digital photos just a nothing and goodbye and then what? First, keep redundant archives. What does it mean? You need to have your photo in at least four places if you want to keep in digital format the hard disk of the PC, an external hard drive to be connected only long enough to transfer data, but dvd not be those of two money and, as a last form of rescue, a site like Flickr where to upload to your maximum resolution photos.
We see the negative and positive sides of the various types of storage file:
- HARD DISK: they offer the advantage of relatively low cost compared to current capacity and the first mistake you could make would be to take a very large, because it would be a mistake? If it breaks you lose a large amount of data, but if I use two smaller ones already saved 50% files and this is also true for memory cards for your cameras, do not be stingy, because the merchandise is as good as paid! Always choose HD as they are ultra fast speed, those from 5400 are fine, those from 7000-10000 rpm are so much faster in warm and save the data but are subject to more frequent breaks.
- DVD: these supports have a flaw, are made of organic materials , resins and derivatives oil, what this means? In practice, when you burn the DVD the laser heats up and triggers an irreversible process of deterioration of the medium itself, damage determined by the formation of mold in the DVD that, over the years make less and less readable the same until it become unusable. The wake-up call in this regard is the color, the DVDs (and CDs) when they start to golden-coppery patina present on the surface, you are saying hello hello. There are media best treated with materials such as gold and silver which have a high anti-bacterial effect and can retain data for a very long time, obviously cost more, but I think that memories do not have money. Always remember that once burned DVDs should be kept in strict black boxes in a cool dry place if you want to prolong their life, every time you go to read because the laser will heat the media again favoring the deterioration of the DVD.
- STORAGE ON-LINE: Beware of free services, today there are and tomorrow they can say goodbye without notice and without that you can protect yourself, the better to choose a payment, but be sure contract that your photos will not be lost overnight. What is the problem? Need an internet network to upload and download files-if you do not have a decent ADSL network it can become frustrating if you make lots of photos.
The best thing I can do is advise you to print your images, or at least the most important ones that you feel better and do not do it by yourself at home, as well as being anti-economic and pigments home printers have a lifespan of 5-6 years, then because they turn shades of light and you end up with photos that will be all green or yellow. Rely on services available network, using different inks and photo paper seriously and are a guarantee for the duration of the photos. At press time you can choose a glossy or matte form, in my opinion is better than matte, glossy paper gives greater effect at first but easily gets dirty with fingerprints already and still produces reflections that can be annoying.
Remember that there is nothing more beautiful than the album leaf paper, a monitor is sterile, is a romantic album, gives a sense of family, home, private. Photography is also this, who needs to create excitement but also the viewer clicks a photo album and well cared for is always a pleasure to browse.
