Few months ago, I went to Sauraha with my family, a nice riverside tourist spot near Chitwan National Park in Nepal, We had great time there and clicked many memorable pictures, When we get back somehow I didn’t get chance to transfer those picture to my laptop and it was lying there in memory card of camera for several days, then one day, one of my family member asked for my camera for another trip, she was in very hurry, what I did was quickly checked old photos in memory card and without giving a second thought I simply formatted all pictures, later I realized all our pictures of Sauraha is gone without any back up, Damn and guess what, I couldn’t recover them ever as memory card was later filled with new pictures.
But, If I have tried to recover pictures just after formatting card then I would have recovered maximum of those memorable photos which will never come back again. If this ever have happened to you then it may very well resonate to you and can understand how bad one can feel when you accidentally delete your important photos.
