The 3.5 foot print I have by the bed cost less than a fiver to print at Staples, which ain't bad either...with some clips and board as a backing and plexiglass from the local off cuts at the builders shop for not much more money and it looks great. Local frame shop wanted $260 to frame it. Mental.

I don't really have the time to post process anyway, and if I can't get a decent looking 8x10 sized print out of a 24MP camera, then I don't know what I was spending my money on. ....

Yeah, you really notice the difference on long exposure and night shots in general, but also on fast action shots of cars.

If you use Google Pictures, the new update, one click tweak works really well on the raw image files and can revert back without having a stack of saved files.

I have a QNAP NAS set up with remote replication to another QNAP back in my UK home (which my stepdaughter & family are now living in) plus a 4TB drive that gets stored in a fire/flood resistant safe box between backups. nearly 8 years of RAW images and I'm around 1.5TB in so far.
