I've never had a card completely fail me! All the images I took hoping to commemorate this day are on a card that is now completely unreadable! Even recovery software will not work. :-( So, I have this small flag (which incidentally has only 48 stars) at home which I photographed instead. Have a happy and safe holiday.

You were able to recover well to post on this Memorial Day after all.I dread to come home after miles of hiking of which I will never return and find an empty or unreadable card, was this a new card or one that you have used before. I screwed up about 600 images of the smokies. #8654598

Beautiful Memorial Day tribute, Courtenay. Sorry about your unreadable memory card. I had that problem about 5 years ago. I think it was damaged by using the card reader slots on my PC. I transfer my images directly from camera to PC now. No problems since. #8654688

Oh no -- guess that's one reason I'm reluctant to use the higher capacity cards. I had one fail, but the recovery software did the job. So sorry your photos were lost! But you've compensated beautifully -- love the textures in this old flag! #8655145Patti Coblentz May 31, 2010 0
Well, the card failure yielded something good...this image is brilliant, Courtenay..I love the full frame of your composition with the perfect lighting and terrific texture!Patti #8655167

Many thanks for your kind words and condolences!~Ron, this was a card I had used many times. I was able to view the images on my camera but it failed when I went to download them via the card reader.

Great "recovery" photo Courtenay. I have been there, done that with the card which is why I also don't use the higher capacity cards. One time will put a fear in you. But this is beautiful anyway. I appreciate all the tributes as my son, Shane, has served in the Navy for 21 years and is on a sub somewhere out in the big ocean for the next several months. #8658853Marilyn Cornwell June 02, 2010 0
