Took this yesterday evening. Had what felt like a really good session on the beach around sunset. However, when I got home I discovered that instead of inserting a new CF card after I filled the first, I must have reinserted the same card I'd just filled and happily formated away all my newly taken shots.

So all that remained was the very last few shots from that evening, and a hole in my image sequence of about 90 images... Well, well, yet another lesson learned. Kind of the digital equivalent of exposing the same roll twice, which I certainly have done a few times in my life too... Atleast, this way I get to keep the last set of images, and I can dream of all the 'perfect' frames that got sent to bit heaven way too early...

How do you like it? Hammer on please! Reposts welcome.

Thanks for looking,

Anders

Hmmm....I'm surprised that the camera doesn't have a "safety" that prevents you from doing this. With the D100, if the card's full you have to manually format the card. No images can be taken with a full card unless you go to the trouble of deleting images first.

As for the image here...it's nice. I like the understated colors.

My instinct is to suggest moving to the left somewhat and changing the camera angle so that the rocks kind of lead the eye into the image, but I say that without knowing the scene at all.

Well, I'm afraid I can't blame the camera. The sad truth is that I did manually format the card... Up until now, I have had a habit of keeping old images on the CF cards as long as possible until I needed to fill them again. Thus it has been my habit to always format the cards as the first step after inserting them... Obviously that wasn't all that smart...

Nice shot Anders. I love long ocean exposures. This is a good one.

Feels a little too loose on the left side for me - I'd be tempted to snip that away a little. Love the soft wave lines and the rocks going to sea - I like it.

Beautiful image. I like the feeling of space in this one. The placement of the rocks looks fine and the texture of the sea is marvelous. What really makes this shot for me is the bit of bright light pinkish-purple light at the horizon. I makes me feel like I can see forever.
