I follow several photography related Facebook pages and forums. Lately, one thing that I've seen is the number photographers that have had memory cards fail. Become unreadable after a photography session. Meaning no images from the session or wedding. All the images are lost. Could you imagine........
There are expensive ways to retrieve images from a failed card. What gets me about the several I've read about is; all are using generic memory cards. Off the self cheap no name memory cards. Why? Because they are cheap, that's why.
As a professional photographer with 20 years experience I do things above and beyond most others, to be sure I can guarantee the safety and security of your photographs. Here a few of the things we at South Street do to ensure that guarantee.
*We use professional level high speed memory cards. Many photographers buy inexpensive cards. Cheap cards. Not pro level quality.
*We replace our card every year no matter the age or use. You never know. Better safe than sorry.
*Your card should only be formatted in your camera never on your PC. A common error. There are two different format types. This causes a problem in the write process of the camera to the memory card.
* We copy your image from the card to PC using a card reader never with the camera connected to the PC. Again an issue I feel, which creates one more thing that can go wrong in the transfer process.
*We back up to several medias, on and off site. To me there is no such thing as too many backups. I hope this helps.
There are reasons you want and need the experience we offer.
