Greetings, Fellow Moment Hoarders!
This is the first photo I share out of my attempt to recover quite a lot of lost data. An external hard drive failed on me and about a couple of years of archives which were not backed up were gone... gone.
And done is done.
It's a good thing, I guess, that I was so busy I had no time to take a second look at most of the photos lost, a lot of them were never edited, I mostly... don't remember them. I had quite nice photos of our daughter and some of those now exist only as small paper copies we gave to her grandparents in albums.
Another good thing is... I have a lot of fresh photos of her, she is still in her very early years and I have a lot of stuff to look forward to in that regard.
Yet another good thing is I now focus mostly on the skills and abilities I have, rather than on specific photographs I have taken in the past.
It can't only be good, though, and I did have some stuff that I will at some point miss.
Some of the photos now exist only as small-sized images in posts here on the Hive blockchain, by the way. Such as The Pink Flamingo, The Cubist Bales of Hay, The Stork That Caught A Snake Tied in a Knot, some very nicely lit agricultural stuff I could have used, etc.
I still have the original (but not the previously edited) photos of the wildfire near my home town and more.
Let me start sharing some of it...
Camera Settings:

Shutter Speed 1/320

I think I shall continue this topic, ringing you piece by piece of the 2021 - 2023 stuff that is still somewhere around here...
Waiting...
Peace and Good Luck!
Yours,
Manol
