Sunday I did a quick sunset shoot. Out of 46 images, several had weird
colors in unusual portions of the images.

That shouldn’t be a problem for you. weird colors in unusual portions of
the images should be right in your wheelhouse. ;-)


Not like this:

Yup! That looks like a corrupt file issue. As to where that corruption is
happening one can best surmise that it was the card. However, there can be
all sorts of causes, mostly due to current, clearing the buffer, and writing
issues. So it would be best to run a check with a known good performing card
to eliminate possible issues with the camera.

What was the brand of the card in question, what was its rating, and which
camera were you using?


D800, and a Delkin Black. I complained to Delkin. They are sending me a
reader, and requested that I test the card with that reader. The shot
you see is a ten shot multiple exposure. I was testing to see how much
time was needed between shots, to get a similar effect to a long
exposure. despite the corruption, my conclusion is that it can be done.
In a calm bay it takes about 2.5 seconds between each shot, for a ten
shot exposure.
