Yesterday\u2019s Tracking the Light featured the gripping headline:<\/p>\n

\u201cOH NO! I JUST WIPED MY CARD . . .\u201d<\/p>\n

And there I\u2019ve told the story of how I accidentally erased my day\u2019s finest efforts (and brought them back again.)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s bad enough to accidentally destroy your own work, but it\u2019s especially galling to ruin the photos from such a great day. Bright sun, clear blue skies and a polished executive train moving a moderate speeds.<\/p>\n

Simply we\u2019d nailed the Pan Am train at multiple locations in great light, and there were several sets (groups of photos) that I was really happy about.<\/p>\n

Followed by the sickening feeling of loss.<\/p>\n

\"The
The day’s finest photos: GONE!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The film equivalent of this sort of disaster is the accidental opening the camera-back before rewinding, where-in you lose a half dozen photos or so, but if you close it up quickly you can usually save most of the roll.<\/p>\n

The worse film-related catastrophe was when your box of film came back from the lab with a little green slip; \u2018Owing to a unique laboratory occurrence, we are sorry to report . . .\u2019<\/p>\n

By contrast, my digital disaster was an easy fix (Click the link to read Monday\u2019s post for details: http:\/\/wp.me\/p2BVuC-4ih<\/a>).<\/p>\n

As I mentioned yesterday<\/a>, when this sort of thing happens: avoid making it worse by continuing to use the card.<\/p>\n

Although I\u2019d \u2018erased\u2019 (wiped, zapped, cleaned) the camera\u2019s memory card. In truth, all I\u2019d done was erase the catalog. All of my photos remained on the card. Yet, resurrecting them was a slow painstaking process.<\/p>\n

Here are some of my favorite photos that\u2019d I never thought I\u2019d have opportunity to post on Tracking the Light<\/p>\n
