I am 58 years young, live in Johannesburg, South Africa and I'm a true product of my continent. I love the bush, the animals, sunshine, sunsets - oh well, anything to do with nature. I am unmarried and have three sons - 37, 33 and 30 respectively and three granddaugters aged 12, 6 and 4 respectively and obviously the light of my life! Photography has always been a passion and I have loved it since I can remember. I was still using a SLR camera and only switched to digital only in late 2007! My other passion is travel and I have been lucky enough to have travelled fairly widely. There are however still many, many places I would love to visit "one day." I am truly an amateur photographer and do it merely as a hobby. So please be gentle when you comment on my work. :-) Thank you Piet, my dear friend, for convincing me to place my work on Renderosity. You owe me one! Hugs, Carin xx

Nonpareil colors in this macro of the lovely and sedate fuschia blooms, Carin. Of course, I echo the others in their response to the loss of your prized photos. I equate the feeling to a knife in the heart. Having more than once undergone a similar event, it is the main reason I keep a backup set of everything I do on another hard drive.

Oh, Carin, that's awful. I have a couple of flash drives that I keep saying I'm going to use for back up and haven't; maybe this will get me going. This foto is exquisite; I've tried several times with fuschias and have never gotten once close to this!!

Lovely capture - color is awesome. Devastating loss but with what I've seen so far with your postings, you will recover rapidly. Dana P

Wonderful shot. I also had that experiencing losing tons of files from my mobile drive. Now I backup my raw files then backup my edited files and another backup for the modified uploaded files.

I am sorry to hear about the irretrievable pics. :( Good luck, this pis is a fantastic substitute though. I love the colors. It is too dry here for them to really flourish.

Gorgeous work! The colors, the details, the contrast. But still, I'm sad for your huge loss. It'll take a while, to remember it less.

HOW GHASTLY! Get backing up! I make a CD every month of everyjthing from the camera, so at least the unaltered ones are safer.and I've got a 500GB external like Bill. Lovely pic, by the way!
