"Low Battery"

This was captured as I was hiking back on the trail after a cold but exciting morning of exploring and shooting. My Sony batteries were pretty much all dead. By chance, I popped one in desperate to get a quick focus stack series of this scene. I fired up the a7RII and low and behold, the battery registered about 25%. I quickly setup my composition, captured a series of images for focus stacking, and this was the final result. I left one hiker in the scene after cloning a few others.

Thank you! I really liked the ice patterns in the foreground. I wish I had more battery to take a vertical shot with just the ice and mountains.

Just to be clear this is the "road home" from vacation. This is about 6 hours north of where I live. ;-)a

The shot is of Mt. Shasta and is indeed a beautiful sight. This is the Klamath Basin on the California/Oregon border. January and February bring large numbers of bald eagles to the area, which is why I was visiting.


I suppose they migrate down from Alaska, and possibly the Yukon ???

So I loaded up the new Mindshift 45...and while I would not hike with that much in it...it Carrie's the gear lighter than the 36L...not sure how...the padding in the straps and back is all different...gonna like that bag a lot I think.

And a useless gear pic from my phone for fun

If this is the wrong place to ask this, please do point me elsewhere, but I'm wondering what card readers you guys use for the SD cards the Sony alpha cameras use? I'm coming from CF cards -- and the reader I have is pretty ancient at this point!

B&H tells me the "Sony XQD/SD Card Reader" (for $50) is a "#1 seller" -- any reason not to go with that one? Is there a better bang for the buck?

As a side note, I have some older SD cards I'm planning to keep in rotation for this a7iii, but I also plan to buy probably 2 more cards with larger capacities. Would that Sony XQD/SD reader read my "old" SD cards? lol. "Compatible with XQD & UHS-I/II SD Cards" -- sounds fancy, heh, and I don't know what my old cards are! :lol:

Please forgive my technological ineptitude ::ducks for cover:: thank you!

Thanks Randall! That's very nice of you.

Yeah man Colorado has been great so far and this is winter time. I can't imagine what it will be like in the summer and fall seasons. So far the move here has worked out.

Today is my off day from work but we had a snow storm blow in so no adventures today. Tomorrow is going to be nice so I'm hopeful I can get a few hours off to shoot something local.

Long winded post warning......

This website just saved my bacon!! - https://www.cgsecurity​.org/wiki/PhotoRec (external link) (Free software by Christophe Grenier)

Basically I managed to lose ALL photos from my daughters first 6 months of life, ALL of my final edits (TIFF files) since 2011 and ALL of the images I have ever taken hillwalking!

How you might ask?

Well I am pretty anal about backup and redundancy of data. I had all my photos on a Synology NAS with two mirrored drives so if one failed it warns you and you can swap it out and the data mirrors again from the second drive. On top of that I have incremental backup from my NAS to an external drive. I just built a new Win 10 Desktop PC for editing so decided I was going to swap all my files out of the NAS and into the desktop and then setup a new backup strategy from there.

So I first copied all of my photo directories from the external backup to the new PC. Clicked into it in windows explorer and all was well (it seemed!). I then removed one of the 3TB NAS drives and installed it on the PC. I had to format it due to the file type difference between the NAS (Linux) and my desktop (NTFS). All still seemed ok so I then decided to take the second drive out the NAS and install and format it. I then started adding files onto these two drives.

It was at this moment (approximately 28 hours ago) that I realised in lightroom that 3 of my folders had question marks against them!! wtf?!?!? I thought. Had a look and to my horror the files were no longer in the photo drive. They had failed to copy over with Synologys built in "USB Copy" backup app. When I realised it was the photos from Islas birth etc I was absolutely devastated as you can imagine.

I spent the next 12-16 hours trying to recover data from the drives I had removed from the NAS. I was using the software called "getdataback" which I had used successfully in the past but it wasn't finding anything (took 6 hours for each scan pretty much to then realise no files were there!) I was all but given up then I had a thought. Maybe I need a different bit of software due to the file system used on the NAS. A bit of googling later and I realised the drives were being used in ext4 format and I was using an NTFS data recovery tool. There might be hope yet I thought! Bit more googling and I found the free software noted above.

10 hours 51 mins later and its just finished scanning the drive and copying all the files its found onto a second drive. Its all a bit of a mish mash with all the files mixed together but I have just found all the raw files of Islas first 6 months! So happy right now!:-) Im going to donate to the guys site.

So I went from 3 copies of my photos to zero due to stupidly not checking it all had copied across and for stupidly trusting Synologys app instead of just doing a manual select all, copy and paste.

In summary - Dont get caught out by making a stupid mistake like I did but if you do give this software a try if its been stored in ext4 format.

Im away to get some sleep!

Oh no Eddie! Wow, I'm so glad you were able to recover those precious files. Good lesson for all of us for sure.

Good to hear you managed to recover your images Eddie!

You don’t have any cloud backups like OneDrive?

Man...my heart rate was going up reading that...so glad you found your data...and makes me glad I still don't a very manual old fashioned way...
