A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

My logical folder organization is a photos folder, with subfolders for each year "YYYY," then subfolders for each month "MM," then subfolders for specific shoots "DD projectname" or just "DD." I usually don't have a project name, but the "DD" helps organize chronologically anyway, in a way that doesn't interfere between named or unnamed projects.
My physical data organization workflow:
My NAS copy is the main place where I have Lightroom looking for the original files, but that's not super practical for editing outside of the home (I have a VPN that allows me to access the NAS from anywhere, but the typical hotel or mobile internet connection is too laggy for doing edits on RAWs stored elsewhere). So I sometimes manually use the external SSD or local laptop storage for editing and processing on the road.
