I had a miserable scare today. This morning I had to visit 2 high school preseason football practices to get random photos for a preseason feature later this month. Everything went well, very well. Had a 3rd high school this afternoon. As usual, I took shots and occasionally checked the exposure and compositions. Everything looked good. Drove home (after a stop at the hardware store to pick up more nails and screws). Pulled a ProGrade SD card out of the R6, inserted it into the ProGrade reader then uploaded to PhotoMechanic. Hmm...no photos found, so I tried uploading them directly into LR...no photos found! Is it the card reader? I put the SD card back in the camera (the second card was never taken out). When I pressed the replay button I got a message there were no images. I ran the ProGrade card repair program and it didn't see the images. Holy Crap! I called the editor and told him what happened and I could not send in the images. I put the card back in the camera, went outside to take photos to see if they would show up on the card. After shooting about 25 images it pushed the playback button, saw the images I had just taken. I continued to scroll forward...and then the football preseason photos showed up!!! What the heck? I uploaded them to PM and LR and sent them to the editor. He thinks I am a hero, but I still can't figure out what happened. Any thoughts? I just got the R6 back from Canon last week after they replaced the shutter. Camera has been work perfectly up until this happened....Show more →
I could feel the panic, Ray. Maybe the second card slot can be used as duplicate for such occasions? Just a thought. I don't have any paid gigs so I rarely use the second card slot for duplication, except when I went to Iceland some years ago.
I mentioned this here few years ago, I stopped by the Flight 93 Memorial in Pa very early in a foggy morning on my way to the airshow in Latrobe, Pa. I took some pictures at the Memorial with two different cameras but didn't see any pictures from the Memorial when I put the cards in my computer after I got home, all the pictures of the airshow were there. I checked both cards multiple times, same thing. It was very spooky... I am not one who believes that kind of thing but what were the odds I screwed up with both cameras and all the airshow pictures were there, except the shots from the Memorial??
