Ah, that is good to know. Thanks for pointing that out. Google says that for Original Quality backup option: > All photos and videos are stored in the same resolution that you took them. Reading in between the lines, it's possible to store them …

SmugMug and Flickr are wonderful for sharing photos, but I don't use them for backup for two reasons. 1) They do not support RAW and 2) unlike dedicated backup services, restoring photos to a local hard drive is painful because they don't provide …

Hi Peter, great suggestion! I've figured out how to implement this, and I'll include it in the next release.

Oh wow, the locations of where we took our photos were about 10 miles apart. I took that photo here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/64%C2%B007'33.6%22N+16%C2%B011'53.2%22W/@64.1260073,-16.2003077,458m We stayed in a farmers basement for 6 …

A few years ago on a film trip to Iceland, I watched the Vatnajökull glacier recede a few feet in a week. It had a really powerful effect on me. I have been able to correlate climate change to the destruction of beautiful landscapes with my own …

Oh this is epic. Ford has their marketing DOWN. I'm glad I watched it all the way through until 1:47 when they exploded the mountain side. I wonder how they did this safely. I highly doubt there was a driver in there during the explosion. Must have …

Wow. I've never heard of snow at Valley of Fire. That's really amazing and cause for excitement! Been there a few times, but never with that scenery. Thanks for sharing.

Record low spring snowpack in the Sierra, May 2015: The National Park Service measured the Sierra snowpack in Yosemite at 7% of average on April 1, 2015, the lowest measurement on record. I made it out to the Eastern Sierra with friends for the …

The Rim Fire Aftermath, January 2015 The Rim Fire was contained after a long 9-week fight, but the wood on the interior of the fire perimeter kept smoldering for an entire year due to lack of precipitation. I made a trip to the area after it was …

Sequoia National Park winter wildfire, October 2014 Another truly spectacular event I had the fortune to witness was a winter wildfire slowly rolling through Sequoia National Park. I headed up to the Sierra at the end of October 2014 to camp at …

Yosemite National Park high country in winter, January 2012 The Tioga Pass portion Highway 120 crosses the Sierra west to east, with a summit of 9943’. It’s the highest mountain pass in California. On average the road is closed for over 6 months …

The most recent California drought is in our past! A series of storms have hit the west coast recently, and the clouds are finally breaking. After lots of much-needed rain and snow, the drought is more or less over, and California is wet and lush …

The Ranger was one of the first vehicles I looked at, but for me, it was pretty quickly disqualified due to limited legroom in the second row on the Supercrew and the lack of 5 seats. It has four bucket seats, which is actually really cool. For …

It's hard to imagine that Tesla will be willing to give rivals access to the supercharger network, even for a fee, when they risked bankruptcy over and over again getting a car lineup off the ground with superchargers to defend their value …

Yeah, I think it'll be a big deal! Apparently, Amazon and its 700 million round it led, agree there's a market. The 400 mile version is a 180 kWH pack, and my guess is that will only come in the nicest trim and be over $100k. The 230 mile 105 kWH …

Nice! Love those 31's! Our American trucks are quite large. And our fuel prices are absurdly cheap compared to most of the world. I really wish that wasn't the case. If we had expensive fuel, we'd probably already have electric and hybrid trucks. …

Talking 20 mpg for a 4x4 full-size truck is unheard of! You can get the front center console in two configurations, either the center console like yours or a folding center seat with cup holders and a tray on the back of the seat. So, I'd get the …

Allie on a recent road trip 😍

Yeah, the F150 would be a no go for me if I lived in the city. I'm in the San Jose suburbs and rarely venture into the city. Fortunately, I have a quite wide driveway too. If I end up getting the F150, I can guarantee you I'll be taking public …

Yeah, it's actually quite fun to data collect like this. For me, it makes the purchase more exciting because I know what I'm buying is exactly what I need. Speaking of data, I need to share this! I graphed the depreciation of a bunch of vehicles, …

Yeah, if dealer incentives are really good, I could see how the RAM 1500 is a good buy. You've inspired me to give them a test drive. I can honestly say I haven't been in a RAM 1500, and I should stop talking and get in one before I compare them …

> We just won the 2019 Parker 425 in our class 3700 and we were headed for the podium in this shot Wow! Congrats!!! I love how modular Jeeps are, and the community around them. I'm worried that I'll kill whatever Jeep I buy with my habits of …

Thanks for the wealth of info, @Pathfinder 🙏 You're just the person I have all the questions for because you own the two vehicles on the top of my list. I've pretty much ruled out the Tacoma because the payload capacity is just too low, though the …

The Ram 1500's are pretty cool, and capability wise they fit the bill. When I compare it to other trucks, the F150 comes out on top. The biggest advantage the F150 has is its all-aluminum body. It's 700 pounds lighter than the previous …

I know those XC90's are so so nice! It's hard to imagine off-roading them! You mean you don't want to do this: https://photos.smugmug.com/Family-and-Friends/BYU-Fall-2011/i-Pbt5f9h/0/3eb5cc6d/X5/IMG_7591-X5.jpg That's was my previous vehicle, a …
