About four or five weeks ago, my boyfriend and I visited Blarney Castle and Gardens in Co. Cork. The sun was splitting the stones, we had a lovely picnic and we had a great time. But afterwards, when we sat down to sup our obligatory pints at a nearby pub, I realised my camera was missing.
I love taking photos and consider myself an amateur photographer. I think I got some great snaps that day and it’s a shame I won’t be able to upload them onto every social media outlet available as proof of my prowess.
But more than that, there are photos on there with HUUUUGE sentimental value. I bought that camera last Christmas for a holiday that turned out to be one of the most traumatic experiences of my life and it has been with us since, recording my recovery from a horrific injury and every happy (or other) moment of our lives together since then.
I don’t care so much for the camera (it’s a black Nikon COOLPIX S7000 with a pink Electric Picnic strap attatched to it tied up in a black velvet sunglasses case), it’s the 32gb memory card that I hold close to my heart.
So if anyone…ANYONE can help me get those photos back by sharing this around, I’d be so grateful. Please, it’s just really important!
Anyone?
Why don’t people back their sheisse up? Always the same story, people never learn to take back-ups.
Would ye stop!
the smug is strong in this wan
Its the big downside of very large SD cards … people dont backup when they have a chance. Hope you get it back!
+1 on the big SD cards…. large enough to hold Ben Hur in HD plus a couple of thousand pics… why does one need a 32 GB card for a 16MP camera… that’s near 6,000 pics to the card.
Good luck getting it back.
+1 on the big cards, especially since you can buy wireless cards that eliminate the need to remove the card from the device.
should of backed up
“Four or five weeks ago” – I’m sorry that you lost your camera, but you would have had a better chance of recovering it if you had have posted this earlier.
What was the name of the pub? Was it the Muskerry? I’m sure they’d help you out.
can’t disguise alcoholism with ‘obligatory pints’, your computer desktop probably looks like the deck
of a Klingon warship to you the morning after, no wonder they never got backed up
I’ll keep an eye out for it..
Would there be anyone on here, who would have it or would be likely to ehh, handle it or be aware of someone who might have taken it.
But hope, get it back.
