Episode 552 – Don’t lose your memory cards
This week, I’ve been shooting some video backdrops for the ABC,
plus I had an idea for helping you to recover memory cards lost while travelling.
“Some guy” doesn’t understand the appeal of 150-600mm lenses. Pfft. Maybe he should try shooting big cats with a wide-angle lens.
Paul Sutton shared a story about how just because you don’t like how you look in photographs, does’t mean you’re necessarily ugly.
Philip Johnson shared a story about how Adobe’s staff is worried about AI taking their customer’s jobs. What about AI taking THEIR jobs?
And Glynn found this great timelapse video on Insta of the Milky Way moving across our sky…. but with a twist.
And just what the world needs now…. a deepfake detector.

Just a comment on losing SD cards. That is something that I’ve personally ever worried about. Before I had a laptop, I used to copy the contents of my SD Card every day to my phone and then to a USB stick.
I now usually travel with my laptop. I’m an underwater photographer and traveling without a laptop makes it difficult to properly review photos to see if I’m really getting the shots I’m after. Now I copy my SD Card to my laptop daily. I’ve been known to also sync photos to my Raspberrypi which is hosting my personal “cloud” storage (only advisable if you have fast internet service when traveling).
If I was concerned about losing a card, after formatting the card, I’d take a jpg photo -NOT RAW- of a sheet of paper with my contact info. Could even include my itinerary if I thought that would be helpful. That way if someone finds my card, and they have a way to read it, they will see the pertinent info in the first photo and I can format my card while on the road.
Some great thoughts there, Michael! Thanks.
