Preening eagle.

[MN Shutterbug]

I had accidentally deleted one of my favorite eagle photos. I checked both computers and my flash drive, and it was gone. I think I saved one that I mistaken;y thought was the one I wanted, and deleted it before copying to my other devices. In the meantime, I found the rescue CD that came with my memory card. I managed to recover every image that had ever been on the card. That was so sweet. In the meantime, I ran across a few more that I didn't bother to save the first time around. This is one I find interesting, but for some reason didn't even bother to pay attention to it the first time around. Maybe I discarded it because the eyes aren't visible. Anyway, I kinda like it now.

That's a nice shot, XT. Excellent exposure and detail in highlights and shadows. Good work getting them all back, too!

I periodically go through folders from two or three years ago because as I develop as a photographer the way I look at the potential value of an image changes.

Images I just shrugged over and went past a few years ago I often now see as good. Darn fine thing that we save those images, isn't it?

Wow..That's a sweet picture! And a great trick getting all the pics back from the memory card!

[finnbay]

Nicely done, X! Unique as well!

[dukhnt]

Glad you got your images back. Nice photo!

I like that shot X! MD I know my SanDisk cards come with a program called Rescue Pro for just that very purpose.

Very nice picture!

Great capture X. I didn't realize you could recover every image ever on the card. That's cool.

Thanks, guys. Yep, Rescue Pro to the rescue. The mini CD came with my purchase of a Sandisk Extreme III. I have bought Ultra II's before, but I didn't get the program with those. I had searched all over online for a program and found a couple that would do the trick. However, they wanted my money. Then I remebered this CD. What's surprising is, I had filled up this card, deleted the files and took more photos with the card. I was delighfully surprised. However, I did have to run the program in safe mode.

That's nice. I love the claws.

Hey X I think if you format the card and then take pictures you may not get them back. I'm not 100% sure, but I will run a test later and see if that is how it works. You are right only the Extreme III and IV's have Rescue Pro.

[MN Shutterbug]

I was thinking I had formatted the card. I could be wrong. Be sure to share your results, Dan.

[Steve Foss]

I'll be eager to see, too. It's my understanding that those systems work when images have been deleted off a card but don't work when the card has been reformatted.

Hurry, Dan, inquiring minds want to know!
