... Try using film. Latent images never disappear and there's no storage card to go bad. Yeah, and none of us have ever put the fixer in the tank before the developer or mis-processed our film any other way! And the Post Office has never lost a roll sent out for processing. And the lab has never had a bad day and no one has ever walked into the darkroom when the tech was loading film and ... It's a good idea to back yourself up when shooting any life critical images. The price of digital is high but no higher than buying a second Hasselblad or F-5 if shooting a once in a lifetime event. Or if charging for your services. The way I sort the amateurs from the pros at events is look for the guy with one VERY expensive camera--he's the amateur. The pro will have several beat up crappy cameras and come home with the goods. -- darkroommike |

Any ideas why one just one occasion (out of hundreds use) some images 'dissappear' from the memory card. I make a point of never deleting images using the camera delete option (its only a extra keypress on a small screen to delete ALL) , but some important images dissapeared between being shot, (visible on the built-in screen) and presumably hitting the memory. That day the camera was turned off and on many times, so it was reset frequently, and yet images from five small shooting sessions dissappeared. I did try to use image recovery software, but as I continued to use the camera, (and filled the card) and evidence of the images went too. I can't repeat this, and its only happened once, but it reduces confidence. I have experienced on a couple of occassions, 'lock-up' where when switching the camera on, it hasn't initialised correctly, and whilst the display is then operational, its not possible to shoot images. Turn off, turn on again and alls fine. I guess that may be 'heat' during summer outdoor use (which incedentally is where nearly all photography takes place for me). Has anyone experienced 'image loss' or 'lock up' , what's the cause, or is it me.? Use film, moron! |

Yeah, and none of us have ever put the fixer in the tank before the developer or mis-processed our film any other way! Well, not me, anyway... :-) And the Post Office has never lost a roll sent out for processing. Had them lose a bank check once (for $6K) but never film. Anyway I'd recommend fed ex over the USPS... And the lab has never had a bad day and no one has ever walked into the darkroom when the tech was loading film and ... Suppose that depends on the quality of the lab and employees (i.e., a sober employee is a competent one...) It's a good idea to back yourself up when shooting any life critical images. The price of digital is high but no higher than buying a second Hasselblad or F-5 if shooting a once in a lifetime event. Or if charging for your services. The way I sort the amateurs from the pros at events is look for the guy with one VERY expensive camera--he's the amateur. The pro will have several beat up crappy cameras and come home with the goods. Can't argue with that. Only caveat is I have lots of images where the situation or lighting only allowed for one exposure. |
