How to Recover Photos from a Flash Card Error

Posted
If you ever have a card go bad on you in your camera and you have photos you really want, then San Disk's Rescue Pro is awesome.

About half of the files on my card from a recent visit to the Huntington gardens did not show up when I came to download them, but I knew they had to be there.

When I first put the card in the card reader, Windows immediately told me there were errors on the card. At that point, only 5 photos appeared in the download import. After I ran check disk on the card as was recommended by Windows, there were suddenly about 130 photos, but I knew there were more.

A few years ago, a card had gone bad on me when I was taking photos of a wedding, and that worst week of my life ended well when after searching and searching for software that might recover the photos of the actual wedding ceremony itself I finally discovered Rescue Pro.

Once again it found and recovered all the missing photos. Thank you, Rescue Pro! Add it to your took kit!
 
Here's a site where you can download Rescue Pro. It should be free, or near to it, as I'm pretty sure it's distributed by San Disk as "freeware".

Posted
The fly in the ointment, Opito Bay, around 2007. This post was originally published in November, 2007. Almost two decades on, the photograph and the argument both feel — if anything — more relevant than they did then. I have updated this post lightly in May, 2026, some 19 years later! The Photograph I was on holiday in Opito Bay on New Zealand's Coromandel Peninsula, sitting on the couch in the place we were staying at. A friend's iPod was resting on the coffee table, on top of a copy of The Economist from March 2005, whose cover story happened to be titled "The Real Digital Divide." A fly landed on the iPod's click wheel and stayed there. I reached for my camera, took the shot, and edited it later in Photoshop to give it the grungy, oversaturated look you see above. The fly on the iPod along with "The Real Digital Divide" struck me — immediately, and with a kind of emb...

Anza-Borrego Wildflowers

Posted
Anza Borrego Desert State Park California Wildflowers This cluster of wildflowers is typical of the flowers in Plum Canyon in Anza-Borrego Desert this spring. Because of the dry and harsh environment, most of the flowers are tiny like the three in this photo. But what they lack in size, they make up for in color. It's pretty difficult to try and identify all these flowers, but I'm pretty sure the white one is Desert Pincushion. Help out if you can. I've been using the CalFlora.org website to try and identify the flowers in this series.
