Have some catching up to do...

29th January 2009

Well...what a day for weather! Rain then puffy clouds, sun, more rain, rainbows, more clouds and storm front. It was all happening in the space of only a few hours in the afternoon.
Susan, Nicola ad myself met at South Bank in the afternoon at 3.30pm and were witness to what one could describe as ideal for anyone taking weather photos that day....
However, when some things seem too good to be true... they often are, as was the case this afternoon.
I managed to fill a 2gb memory card with some 90 photos and video and had to reload with another card before the sun set. I was keen to go home and download the treasure trope of images, however when I put the first (full) chip back in the camera I was greeted by a rather unsavoury message..'Can read this menory card would you like to reformat?' 'No!'. Well this was not a good sign. And after plugging the card into every conceivable piece of technology that would accept it with no results I was faced with the unfortunate truth that the card was corrupted and my chances of recovering any files was 'nil'.
I did manage to have a few on the second card which at least some cancellation.
