I learned two things that I hope might be helpful to folks out there if you find yourself in this situation:įirst, when you erase images from your memory card, they don't actually go away. I tried to convince myself it wasn't that bad and I still had a lot of images I was happy with, but after a couple hours of dwelling over all of the compositions I lost, I decided to see if there was any way to recover the images. I started flying through my mental inventory, cataloging the scenes I photographed along the way. I had mistakenly deleted ALL of the photos I took on the way up.Īfter my initial shock and denial slipped away, panic set in. I scrolled back and found that the earliest photos saved on the card were from the summit. I didn't think I was one of them, but turns out I was wrong.Īfter getting home from hiking Moosilauke, I discovered that there were about 100 fewer photos on my memory card than I expected. Attention: This is a PSA for all the photographers out there that are dumb enough to accidentally delete a bunch of their photos.
