A word of warning...

I do have some photos coming soon...just need to get them together.

I want to take this opportunity to give words of warning to all amateur, avid photographers out there.

Always empty your memory cards on a computer/hard drive (don't even rely on USB thumbdrives - they are destined to crash!). Even if you think you may have done it, put a copy onto your computer/hard drive.

A recent experience of my wife and I had some of the photos that I took for this blog, along with a whole holiday's experience and a significant birthday party's photos wiped from existence. The card needed to be used again and photos were wiped from the card.

Although there are various programmes that can recover lost photos, the memory card was written over again, and not a single photo we were looking for could be retrieved.

This is every photographer's nightmare, but it needs to be done to ensure your masterpieces are not lost forever.
