Yeah that is true, might run a tool on mine, I lost loads of pics a few years back .. Be interesting to see if it can recover them!

Doubtful. Data recovery will only work properly if you've not used the drive after you accidentally deleted the files.

I'm struggling to find any that:-

a) I'm allowed to sell
b) That are good enough technically when upsized (quite a few of my shots have been cropped by quite a margin)

I am going to try Chris' approach and take lots of pictures of the area I live ( Bomley ). Remember they are not looking for the wow images. The images Chris has sold that I have recently are a high street picture, sign of welcome to Royal Tonbridge Wells.

There are some on POTN who say they make more from the micro stock libraries like shutterstock... I have uploaded some pics with them, a lot easier than alamy but you have to go for the machine gun approach and upload loads ( I have only managed 32 approved and about 4 rejects ). They imo want the more eyecatching one as it is more of Jo Bloggs trawling through and downloading the images. So far made only £10 in 2 months but I think if you can upload loads ( around a 1000 ) you get a reasonable return or that is at least what others say. This one is a lot less hassle than alamy as minimum size is 3 mb so hassle upsizing etc.

The main reason I am perservering is I am determined my camera gear should pay for itself and of course buy more equipment That is the master plan!!

After discovering what I didn't know about property releases earlier then it limits what can sell for advertising somewhat, which I assume is where the money is to be made rather than editorial. Though beyond newspapers and magazines I'm not all that sure what editorial covers.

Any last wishes before we never see you again..?

Yes, I'd like to leave my dress to the users of the South East thread, something to remember me by.

I regularly go to National Trust properties. From reading up, I know that I'm not allowed to take photos on NT grouns for commercial use. Therefore I can't submit any of those shots to Alamy.

Well I built a computer for my uncle for him to surf web (well it used to be the home computer, but I gave the house my uni one and that computer to my uncle)..

anyhow long story short it seems I didn't transfer all the files to my computer so my sister is now in tears as shes missing her photos. I only did a quick format on the other HDD so I should be able to recover it I'm just wondering if anyone has any recommended software for the task.

yup data recovery

I used this once and it worked.

There was another one I used, but can't recall it yet ...doh!

"Die paparazzi scum! If these *******s deleted every photo they ever took and then dedicated the remainder of their lives to helping aids orphans they'd still be the scum of the earth. Integrity-when its gone its gone."
