What camera and lens is this? Seems better than previous images. Good detail and nice out of focus smoothness (bokeh).Originally posted by wuapinmon View Post

The guy I was birding with played the call and it landed about 10 feet away from me and stayed still for about 45 seconds. I took about 20 shots and this one was in good light and in focus."Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action.

Not used to so much blue but the eye ring and size makes it a blue-gray gnatcatcher.Originally posted by wuapinmon View Post

It's a male in fresh breeding plumage flexing his feathers because my buddy was playing a BGGC song. I didn't monkey with the saturation beyond what the camera does. The newly emerged feathers in raking sunlight will look that blue. In a couple of months, he'll be much more drab.Originally posted by Dwight Schr-ute View PostNot used to so much blue but the eye ring and size makes it a blue-gray gnatcatcher.

I had a situation that I'm afraid is irreparable, but wanted to see if you'd ever had anything similar happen. We had a big public event for work earlier this month, at which I shot about 200 photographs at. A couple days following the event, I dropped a significant amount (maybe 40) of those photos from my card into my Photoshop Elements (I'm in the process of rectifying this), edited them, and then at the end of the day, went to start saving the files to the network. This action locked up my system (I don't remember if it was just the Photoshop or the whole computer). I left it over night with the hope it would magically unfreeze overnight to avoid losing all of my edits. Came back in the next day to the same frozen screen, so I rebooted the computer. Got busy with other things and forgot about the photos. This morning, I needed said photos for a monthly publication only to discover that not only did the edits not save (never expected that they would), but that 95% of the photos from that day have completely disappeared. I've looked everywhere and I can't find any trace of them. Strangely enough, this even includes photos from the event that I never dropped into Photoshop. I dropped them one at a time, so it doesn't make sense that I would have had a whole group selected that were moved or deleted accidentally.
Have you ever heard of anything like this before? I plan on submitting a request to the IT department for a software upgrade. It seems like people are moving to Lightroom, opposed to whatever CS number we're on. Is this your experience/recommendation? Anything with autosave would be embraced at this point.
Thanks.I told him he was a goddamn Nazi Stormtrooper.

Unfortunately, by the time I realized there was an issue, I had already shot another 200 photos to the same card.Originally posted by mtnbiker View PostOn a different computer (so you don't overwrite disk data), google 'free data recovery software' and download one or two to a flash drive. Then run it from the flash drive on the affected computer and see what it can recover.

I've nearly lost photos because of a hard drive gone bad, but never in the situation you are in. If they are still on the drive, you can try photorec, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec_Step_By_Step. I've used this to successfully to pull original photos from a drive that had the file table corrupted. It scans the disk directly, but cannot recover the original filenames. It uses the embedded tags to set the file system properties and restores the files to a valid drive. The only thing similar I can think of is when unloading a card to a nearly full hard drive, that has caused my some grief in the past.Originally posted by Dwight Schr-ute View PostSwampfrog.

Ever since I nearly lost a lot of shots from a vacation, I enrolled with Carbonite for online backup, I also have 2 4 terabyte drives, one is the original, and the second is a backup of the first. When downloading from the card, I now make sure that Carbonite has them backed up before clearing the card.
Every release, Lightroom can do more editing tasks making trips into Photoshop fewer and fewer. There is some question as to how long Adobe will continue to release the stand-a-lone version. The $10/month photography plan that gets both LR cc and Photoshop cc is (for better or worse) the new software paradigm. LR is still at its core a cataloging program, which if you are smart with your imports allows you to tag photos effectively for later search. The latest also has face recognition.

Shot these with my phone on my river walk yesterday.
