Shooting Outside Gallery

Hints may be provided depending upon the guesses. OK OK I'll give you one; it is the headwaters of one of the world's least known rivers, but one of the world's most talked about sources. And I'm facing South. Hint number 2: It lies just below the most famous mountain known for a volcanic blast about 30 years ago....

Well according to Wiki>(Right Click) , in 1912, Anna Jarvis trademarked the phrases "second Sunday in May" and "Mother's Day", and created the Mother's Day International Association. You have just enough time to take care of your gift to your Mother by choosing a print for her to hang on one of her walls. You think she doesn't have a wall for a new print? You think all of her walls are full? Well just ask her. She'll know exactly where she wants it. Even if it arrives a bit late, and she'll never forget what you've done in her honor. Now where do you find this print for your Mother? Get one right here and your name will echo in the halls of your family for decades to come. Especially when you sign the matte with your name as a gift, from you, for Mother's Day 2009. And if you'd like me to sign it as the photographer, just be sure you contact me before you purchase. Happy Mother's Day May 10th and you'd better get moving.

We get into habits and one of them may well be when we get back from a shoot, of taking the media card out of the camera, be it a Compact Flash (CF), a Secure Digital (SD), or whatever and placing it into the reader slot in our PC's to ingest for saving or working on them. Then once they are in the PC we right-click on Format. Done, now we are ready to shoot again. But should we do it that way? OK this is not an example of format corruption but I thought I'd scare you anyway. I would not and I do not allow my PC to format my flash memory. A PC has it's own formatting procedure and it does so from the PC angle. To prevent this I never take the card out unless it is full and I need a fresh card for more shots. When I get to the ingesting of data into my PC, I will USB cable to PC. The camera is specific to the type of formatting it was engineered to do even given the media card format specifications. All Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Hasselblad, Mamiya and so on (with few exceptions)
