Research conducted in UK in October 2010 disclosed that of all of the possessions the general public worry most about losing, it is photographs. We are rather more scared of losing pictures than even our handbags.
Digital photos are essential. They represent who we were and where we have been. We will be able to replace lost keys and phones but nothing can take the place of lost images. Once they're lost, they are lost foreverâ€"except in our imaginations which, sadly, we can never share with anyone.
Footage of you when you were married, that picture of your better half as she was delivering your baby, those first shots of your newly born kid, celebration pictures or graduation picturesâ€"these are visual records of our emotional moments and major landmarks. We would give anything simply to keep them.
The introduction of digital photography has created a spurt of picture-taking and digital photography has made picture-taking easy and cheap. Unfortunately, losing pictures with this technology is nearly as easy as taking them.
Hard disk drive failure, unexpectedly dropping your electronic camera, getting your mobile phone wet, random erasure and memory card-related faux pas are all causes for losing digital footage. It's vital, then, to have a good backup system to prevent loss of all of your photos, to have photo data recovery software in the event of their loss and to have a data recovery company to go to in case recovery of lost pictures is just beyond you.
Pro photographers, whose livelihood is dependent upon the integrity of their clients ' photographs, offer the following information in preventing digital image loss:
