I-phone SE ... keeping photos after downloading ?

[dee]

I was driven to buy an I-Phone SE to be compatible with others in the family.
Frankly I had no need of it , but have been using the camera when my Fuji XF1 was being fixed .
I always download everything from a camera and do not keep anything in the camera ...

However , I find that I am not only keeping some Malaysia holiday / family photos on the 'phone , but even , for example , photographing [ phone-tographing ] some of my old prints from the 50s-70s to and even shooting my anticipated VW Beetle from the catalogue on the I-mac screen .
It's all very weird and new to me approaching 70 [ which seems that somehow I should be different or changed because of that age ] but I guess it's what all the younger generations know .I guess this is the future .

I occasionally sync/download the photos but have the tendency to keep them around.

I do keep an album of edits and favourites that I never erase, but I even let photos linger for months. Then the phone screams for space and annoys me, having the 16gb iPhone 6. Mind you, my camera roll can have up to 1200 photos kept! (1281 exactly now)

I used to have a dropbox 50GB account (which I still have 8gb) and with the app it downloaded the files by itself when it has Wifi.
Went to NYC, after a day or so of coming back all the photos were up and available for the computer - and anywhere else.
The iOS version does not work as nicely as the android though, and I find it sluggish nowadays. I once accumulated a backlog of ~300 photos and the thing would not upload. Turned remote upload off and now I do it the old corded way.


I am in the 20s yet I often find it amazing this. Now phones et al are ubiquitous but 2007 was not that far to me.

A multidevice that has video, camera, music player, internet -you can purchase things online-, do a video call with someone on the other side of the globe... Incredible isn't it?

Not that long ago (2005 me as a kid) such things I did not foresee to have in the pocket. It was not that long ago, a single product cycle for a film camera.

I keep every decent photo I have taken since my first iPhone 3 on my phone. I also upload the best of the photographs taken with my digital cameras and I upload my decent film scans. I pay 99c a month for a 50Gb iCloud account so I never run out of space. I like having instant access to all my photos plus it never hurts to have an additional backup, right?
