Yesterday on my way home from Judy's I stopped at a camera shop in Stroudsburg to buy a new camera card. My current card had thousands of pictures on it and I didn't want my camera to crash and burn during my meet up today with fellow 365er Rick Schies and his family at Hawk Mountain. The man in the camera store gave me top-notch service and set me up with a card that has more storage and bumped up the settings in my camera for even better macro shots. I was pretty excited to see the pictures I'd taken today on the "large screen" of my computer. However, my computer decided not to cooperate! Jeff says that the same part that has made it so that we can't skype with the grandchildren is what is causing the computer to not be able to read the camera card info. Did I ever tell you how much I hate it when I can't see my daily pictures!? I guess I will have to figure out the Nikon for a little while- at least until I can get another camera card and reset the camera to a less demanding setting, or take this camera card to a photo kiosk and transfer the images to a CD. I even remembered to take a picture of a bench for the June word list. Sigh... Did I tell you how much I hate not being able to see my daily pictures??!!
Oh wow Ann, I would be going insane myself. It was bugging me to death anyway because I had to wait until the end of the night just to look at the photos I took due to the busy night we had. So now I must go through them all and edit. It was a fun day, and so glad we could meet up finally. I think it is such a great opportunity to meet up with our friends on here when you can do that. Hope you can get your problems sorted out and taken care of.
Nice shot. Love the way this looks. Sorry about your computer issues... I too am having issues. My computer is crashing. If I don't appear for more than 3 days, then you know it finally crashed and I probably won't make it back any time soon because I can't afford a new computer. I do hope that you can get your camera and/or computer issues solved. I'd take your PC to get fixed.
I would LOSE it if this happened to me. I am so impatient to see how my pics turned out and with getting them uploaded. So sorry that happened! Hope you get it worked out soon!
Thank you everyone! In one way or another the problem will be solved. All the extra hours I've put in at Judy's house has made it possible for me to save up some cash to perhaps get a laptop which should be capable of reading the card with no problem. Just a day or two away from finishing her spring cleaning project.
@crickle1969 I have been thinking about you a lot lately with all the storms nead St. Louis and hope all is well with you and your family. My friend who lives in Fenton is alright, so I'm hoping the same is true for you Chrystal!
I don't blame you for feeling frustrated. The computer is supposed to serve you, not the other way around. I hope you have a great visit with Rick. And I see you are also going to get with NYC 365 friends. You sure do get around!
@allie912 Thanks Allison! I do have some relief finally as I ordered another camera card and it came today. For some reason the "professional" cards, although they are the same size and the camera takes the pictures, for some reason the computer will not read them. So I have another media card from my former brand and I was able to upload a shot today with no problem. I do love to travel and am looking forward to the NYC gathering. Although I think it's going to be quite comical with most of my fellow 365ers and their mega cameras and me with my little p&s! By the end of this coming week I should have a lap top too- so I'm stepping up in the world!
Oh, how frustrating for you! But with a new laptop and a great 'meet' coming up, it sounds like things are definitely looking up! THank you for all the lovely supportive comments on my photos today. I so appreciated all the time you spent on them!
@taffy Thank you Taffy! I love your shots- and I'm wishing I could be on Beaver Island with you! It looks wonderful! It's no problem to leave the comments- I just wish I wasn't so far behind!
@olivetreeann So sorry, I fly in on Monday for the conference reception that evening and out Thursday, the conference ends Wednesday evening. Would love to but there is a lot going on. Hopefully all the travel will inspire more regular submissions again!
