Hawaii Photo Recovery Project

As of this morning, I've successfully recovered my Hawaii photos. In the end, I recovered approximately 7,000 photos. About 100 photos are missing, but this is expected because I delete photos that are radically over-exposed or underexposed. Also, because I'm shooting with Auto-exposure bracketing, it takes 3 photos for every image I capture. So it's really only 33 photos (x3).

Even these 33 (or 100) photos can be recovered, if I decide to dig further for them. I'm just not clear at this point that I'm interested in pursuing it any further. I've recovered the photos I was after.

One of the benefits of this unfortunate incident is that I now have a 1 Terabyte USB 3.0 "Rugged" external drive, designed to survive a 2 meter fall which I'll carry with me on my travels. This will be one additional measure of safety when I'm on extended travels away from home.
