@quietpurplehaze Thanks Hazel -- I was spitting feathers when I realized that I had pressed the wrong button -- alas too late to reverse the command !!
You should know that there are several free downloads on the net to get your deleted shots back from the card's hard drive. This happened to me once where I deleted everything on the card! And manage to get all the shots back again and the quality was the same!
If this happens to me, I get Mr W to "undelete" the photos for me. He is no good with a hoover but he can work magic with computers. This is a beautiful scene though, Beryl, and the swans and admiring the view also!
I did exactly the same thing recently and was really annoyed with myself. I didn't know it was possible to get images 'undeleted' so I have learnt something new today. Putting it into practice is a completely different matter!!! Looks like a lovely place.
