Google for 'hard drive docking station'.

Extract old hard drives from your old PCs, connect docking station to you new PC, insert old hard disks in dock, profit.

but I have read that you should export for printing at 300 ppi resolution. When I did this the photo I was exporting went haywire. It cropped my photo cutting a lot off

This doesn't make any sense. Why are you cropping your photo to reach 300ppi?

It's okay to supplement a photo with a story but the moment you need to tell a story to explain what you are seeing or are supposed to feel then the photo isn't any good.

But sadly enough a lot of people buy photos based on the story that goes with it and not because of the photo, so it's become a case of who can bullshit the most will sell the most.

Those cameras don't put their recordings online for everyone to see.

There is a big difference.

One person watching the security cams vs thousands of people watching your photo online.

It's all part of the American hustle culture.

Either by taking advantage of gullible people or beng a gullible person and falling for every 'easy money' scheme out there.

The term 'you gotta spend money to make money' has become the credo of both scammers and people with FOMO.

If it's completely blown out, as in no contrast or anything in it, you can always do a sky replacement. But not a full one, just a 5-10% one just to give the sky a hint of contrast.

Camera is in a waterproof housing. Looking at the photographers comment it was taken in 2003 so it could just look like film because it was one of the earlier models of dslr and CCD sensors were only around, i'm guessing, 6MP?

24mm with pano enough?

Exactly. You don't really need wide angle lenses when you can just as easily make a quick 4 shot pano. Higher resolution as well.

Variable filter that handles the ND2-ND400 (1-9 Stops) range, a ND1000 (10 stop) filter and a CPL should be all you need.

Graduated filter can be done in post so no real need for it.

The Nano-X series is good value for money.

Don't take people who talk about color casts too seriously, there can be a color cast but it's easily fixable in post.

Also when you are buying from K&F be sure to check out their other sites as well, most big markets have their own top-level domain with everyone having different prices and sales. Just yesterday I ordered a Black Mist filter from their .com site that was half the price from my local top-level domain. And vice versa a couple months ago, my local site had half price compared to their .com domain.

For some reason I always think that a panorama should be defined as multiple pics stitched together and not just a wide angle shot or altered aspect ratio.

I know that a panorama is simply defined as "an unbroken view of the whole region surrounding an observer" but it just feels weird to it just being a single wide angle shot.

She has every one of the curated photos she's taken over the last 6+ years on a hard drive.

I just don't understand people.

All of their life's work on a single hard drive. Ready to be lost at any time.
