[QUOTE="nickyr, post: 1621985, member: 40791"] well you could just import them into iPhoto and let that organise them for you. i didn't find that ideal and therefore have a file structure: year camera used daily folder e.g. Pictures 2014 D800 18-07-14 12-07-14 D700 11-06-14 D90 04-05-14 That however takes some sorting depending on how many photos you've got, but once done works well and makes backing up easy as you can just copy and paste your whole pictures folder to an external HDD or if you know you've just added a new folder copy that one on its own. I use lightroom and this file structue is mirrored in that [/QUOTE]
