at Ernie Els winery. The huge terrace overlooking the vineyards, this is one of the many inside areas to relax. Then there is still the new restaurant inside
I managed to get all my software downloaded yesterday. Unfortunately I lost a lot of photos, tutorials that I was following, but worst of all a whole lot of textures that I made and was working on. They were of course not backed up. So sad
Oh so sorry about your techie issues. Do you use a plug in hard drive to back up? I find that a useful thing. Plug it in every time I have added photos or anything new. It's a Seagate and I find it very good. Heartbreaking when you have no backup and lose things.
Lovely shot. I really fancy sitting in there and relaxing!
So sorry to hear about your loss but glad that you got your software downloaded. I know it must be a disappointment to you. You will just have to take more photos and create even new and better textures. This is a terrific shot of the wine tasting area.
Glad you could save what you did... bummer about the textures/photos lost. I’m guessing you have a backing up plan in place now... I should have one too.
What a pain to have lost so much. I back up my photos onto an external hard drive and when I remember (which is usually before we go away) I back up that hard drive on another one.
So sad to hear about all the lost pics and textures but like Katy said you can now make more, perhaps even better ones. It's frustrating though. I'm overdue for backing up the pictures on my laptop that I keep there all the time. Thanks for the reminder!
As for the picture, this looks very inviting- cozy and elegant all at once. It must be a very enjoyable place.
gosh that's a beautiful place. so sorry about everything you've lost - so difficult - memo to self, must do latest backup. especially frustrating with the textures and tutorials. though by the sounds of it you did a great job getting all your software reinstalled :)
What a delightful cozy looking place! Sorry about your computer crashing! I went through that a couple of months ago when I tried to upgrade my MAC to Catalina. Lost my Elements, photoshop and a lot of photos and photography apps. Arrrggggh! Fortunately I had a lot of it on my external drives so the Apple guys could restore it. Still took me a couple of weeks to straighten it out at home.
@pusspup@casablanca@kvphoto@merrelyn I have everything backed up on an external drive, except the stuff I have been working on these last few weeks. Now I will backup every single image when done ;-) @pistache Mostly upset about the textures and the tutorials which I had bookmarked. Could you please send me Matt Koslowski's link for texture creating Clare, I cannot find it in youtube ;-( @joysfocus I had everything except the latest work backed up fortunately Joy :-) @shutterbug49 It is a wine tasting venue with a restaurant Debbie, The wine tasting area has been there for many years now. They just opened the restaurant recently, but there is still work being done outside ;-)
I love this shot, it looks so inviting.
