Recently, my husband and I went to the Melting Pot for dinner. Naturally, I took along my camera. I had planned to practice some cool low light techniques to see if I could capture something fun. I snapped a picture in the waiting area before turning it off and putting it away. Then I saw a cool lighting fixture that I wanted to capture. I pulled my baby back out and turned her on to find a CF error on the back. Isn’t that bizzare? Literally 3 minutes apart.
When I got home, I found a free recovery program out there in google land. So if this ever happens to you – don’t just reformat your card. Try to recover your images first. It took about an hour and a half but it got almost all of my images back for me including some that I’d previously deleted or moved off the card. Worked like a charm. Here’s the link.
