Worst nightmare happened to me recently. On shoot with a couple (just before their baby is born) took about 1000 photos. Saved on both cards. Got to my studio, started transfering the photos, crashed on photo #14. Went to see what happened, both SD cards were clean. No files whatsoever ... a single tear dropped down my face, then ... massive anger! Had to reshoot the whole thing the following week... first time it happened to me in 10+ years of shooting every single week. Set both cards on fire. Bought new cards. They did the job fine.

Saw your title - and having just got back from a tramp/hike to Kapuni Lodge on Taranaki on which I'd discovered I had no SD card in my camera and nor did I have a spare stowed away somewhere even after taking great care to pack everything I needed the night before - I immediately thought, 'today it's no SD card in the camera!' And lo and behold, there you were - remedying a 'No SD card' from three years prior. Fortunately for me, I won't have to wait three years to get up to Kapuni Lodge again as it's a 40-minute drive from Te Hāwera to Te Rere o Kapuni followed by a 90-minute uphill trek. So enjoy your videos, James. Looking forward to the new location and the new office. Oh dear on the news that Wales is going into lockdown. Stay safe.

You should consider using a longer lens (70-200mm equivalent) for woodland. I saw at least 3 marvelous compositions in the first four minutes of this video that a longer lens would have captured brilliantly. They're great for isolating details, tree branch patterns, etc. in the woods. My last foliage shoot the other day, I used my long zoom almost exclusively. Anyway, congrats on the new house. I look forward to your upcoming Wales content.

@@raksh9 There is absolutely no reason to ever leave the SD card out of the camera. Transfering the data is usually done in seconds and then its ejected and back in the camera. Batteries take some time to charge, that's true - even more of a reason to not close these doors, you WILL have forgotten that battery by the time it is charged. Get a second one, switch through them with charging. Also, while you empty your card and charge the battery you don't use that camera - put it somewhere safe.

How about inadvertently hitting the format button on a 10 year old camera and deleting two days worth of photos? Tried recovery and no such luck. Crying did you say? 😢 Still recovering and will never do that again! Your post helped me on my way to thinking of return to redo the entire 2 days worth of photos. Hopefully won't be 3 years. Cheers James. Love your photographs, videos, and commentary. Also sound like you and the spouse made a nice choice in moving to Wales. Looks gorgeous.

Was curious, so Googled it. "Close to the disused 19th century, water-powered Machno Woollen Mill built in 1839, there is a drystone-built, packhorse bridge over the Machno river. This is known as the 'Roman Bridge' but it is actually 16th or 17th century. Penmachno is, however, near the section of the Sarn Helen Roman road from Betws-y-Coed to the Roman fort of Tomen y Mur."

While photographing the Golden Gate bridge more than 30 years ago from a cliff on the Sausalito side, I started to slide down. It was a 750-foot drop. I was wearing street shoes, and there was nothing but dirt on the way down, so I had no easy way to put on the brakes. There was a small rock sticking up, which I grabbed. I gingerly removed the Hasselblad from my neck, figuring I could come up with $3000 to replace it, but I couldn't replace me. Luckily, I was able to scramble back to safety (very carefully!). Trust me, there are worse things than getting out there without a card. BTW, wouldn't it be smart to carry a spare card in your pocket? Then It wouldn't matter whether or not the camera had dual slots.

Happened to me in Germany in March. Over several days I'd been balancing the load out I was taking for walking around the city of Nuremberg. Trying to work out what I needed for casual photography with my X-T1 and still have bag capacity for gifts, snacks etc. Third day enjoying a tour and realised I left the SD card in my laptop from transferring photos the night before. Gutted. So I was faced with a 2 hour mess around going back to the hotel or just enjoy as much as I could and use the phone. I keep spare SD cards in my camera bag but I didn't bring that on this day. Lesson learnt. Luckily my X-T3 now has 2 card slots. So I always keep a 32gb UHS-II card in the 2nd slot that I don't really use. To cover that in future.

Personally I bring a spare polarizer with me on trips (a large one, and then use step down rings if needed). Of course I don't spend a ton on the "backup" polarizer since it is a backup and rarely to I need to call on it (so I might spend $100 on one but it mostly lives in the camera bag, but like most other things you have spares of, it's a good idea to keep a second one handy, even a cheaper one would work in a pinch, over no polarizer).

I did that over the summer. Brought my brand new refurbished camera to my favorite forest specifically on a cool day to get some water photos. No card. Thankfully there was a store an hours drive away so I was able to buy a new one to use. Sure I could easily have just come back the next day, but I was so annoyed with myself that I insisted on going back and staying for a few hours to make up for the lost time.

Nice one James. Interesting watching your use of a drone. Being paraplegic and in a wheelchair, there are many occasions when the only way to get a shot is with a drone. I can't exactly clamber over rocks. I could do with something better than a Mavic Mini though.

Yes mate! Drones are great for places like that! I'll not sure I'll be able to climb over rocks for much longer if I keep stumbling around :)

Yeah it's like to see your process for these pics. Especially as they look completely different from the video footage - which is usually much more saturated with deepest darks. The final shots have a milky blue assistance by comparison. I was waiting for you to drop the camera throughout the video #heartinmouth😲

I was at a great place to take bird images (something I've not pursued much being more of a landscape photographer). Being friendly I struck up a short conversation with another photographer that was on the platform with me. Just for something to talk about I asked if he had ever forgotten an SD card before (which I admit I have done) and he said "no" with a look of disgust with me for asking such a question. Sheesh. Some people are just "perfect" I guess.

Lovely spot James, I've been trying to get there for months and guess what? As yet I don't own a drone, do you think I could get away with tying bungee cord to my five D, setting the two second timer and chucking it off the bridge. Great images by the way.

I love the drone shot of the bridge. I don't use my OG Mavic Pro much but, when I do, I prefer it for photos more than video, in most cases.

@@JamesPopsysPhoto Also makes me *less* likely to drop my entire memory card collection off a cliff/into a river/down a canyon. String will do the job, but I spend a few pounds and use cheap coiled kevlar lanyards. Given the cost of memory cards (even cheaper ones) it makes sense to me & it's already saved my bacon once...

Wonder why they cannot put an onboard memory chip of say 512 MB in the camera...The sony Cybershot HX100v had something like that and that would save the day on odd occasions when the SD cards are left behind and not in the camera card slots.

I also forgot my sd card once. Me and some friends went to do a BASE jump from a powerplant in use. So we had to jump over fences, run from dogs, avoid the guards and climb a long smokestack only to realize I forgot the memory card. I didn't cry and climb back down, so in a way it was still a success. But still.... Anyways from that day on I always leave the door open if there is no memory card in. And if there is any room for it (as there usually is on action cameras) I add a spare memory card with tape on it. I have not yet found a good spot for my DSLR since they use larger memory cards.

After watching TheMissendenFlyer's three episode series on his mini motorcycle tour of Wales and three other guys taking little motorcycles into Wales I looked up home prices there. Guess we'll be staying in the States.......or wait for a real estate crash. But dang, what wonderful looking country! Then there is Itchy Boots on tour at the moment in Scandinavia with epic country side there too. You are very lucky to live there.

Meant to add, been there, done that, so I try to keep extra cards in the bag. I also leave the card door open (and the battery door) to remind me that I took things out. It works. Most of the time. :^)
