The camera wants to format the card and no longer recognizes the images. The computer wants to format the card. My recovery software doesn't see the card because it needs formatting.

This software has recovered images from formatted cards before. I'd pretty much given up, then I thought, "WTF! Just format the thing so the recovery software can find it's way in.

Follow my drift?

I had that happen with my Canon EOS once. The Mac thought the flash card was blank and wanted to format it. Instead of formatting it I put it back in the EOS and took another pic and then tried it in the Mac again and this time everything was back..

Unfortunately the camera has an issue with the card too.

I'm about to format a card that has 52 precious images on it, in hopes that my recovery software can then find them.

Stunning Turquoise Ice on Ancient Lake

Russian landscape photographer Alex El Barto Trofimov, who lives in the heart of Siberia, travels nearly 400 miles south to photograph one of the world’s most voluminous and oldest freshwater lakes – his favorite place to take pictures.

“Lake Baikal is a real jewel of our planet,” Trofimov told Weather.com over email. “I shoot on Lake Baikalsummer and winter.”

The lake contains roughly 20 percent of the world’s unfrozen surface fresh water and more than 1,700 species of plants and animals, with more than 80 percent of the animals being unique to the area.

The 25 million-year-old lake’s water is so clear that when it freezes over in the winter you can see a little over a 100 feet below. The lake can be crossed by foot when it freezes, but those who choose to cross it run the risk of frostbite and hypothermia.

“The shooting is not easy, as Baikal is known for its unpredictability. It is especially dangerous shooting ice of Lake Baikal,” Trofimov explained.

In March, due to a natural phenomenon the lake is particularly amazing to photograph. The temperature, wind and sun cause the ice crust to crack and form beautiful turquoise blocks or ice hummocks on the lake’s surface.

For more of Trofimov’s photos visit his website.

I am a big fan of the tilt shift effect. Do you use that? It makes pictures look like they were taken from scale models, weird and beautiful

I made a weird tilt/shift thingie last year from a hodgepodge of junk. You can see some of the story on this page, and some of the photos from it here. Nothing greatly impressive, but it's kinda fun. I need to find some more opportunities to take that thing out.
