Fabulous set! I especially appreciate no 2+3, very dramatic mountain-scapes. Although we have some fine landscapes and mountainous areas here in Norway, I would love to see more of Scotland one day.

Congratulations! That is really a superb image.

Great capture!

Bjørn

Thank you very much for your helpful advice!

I need to contemplate returning the card to SanDisk, or just buy a new one. Are there other brands of SD cards that are worth considering as an alternative to SanDisk?

Last weekend I drove to a mountainous area about 150 kilometers north of Trondheim, for a photo excursion. I brought my 67ii kit and the K20D. I had a wonderful day in the mountains and shot about 326 images with the K20D in RAW+ (thus 652 in total).

When I came home I eagerly plugged the K20D into my Mac, but only seven pairs of RAW+ images showed up on the screen, the other 319 RAW+ images would not load. I tried loading the images onto my other Mac's, without any luck, I only got a message about the files being corrupt or damaged. Even though photo is not something I make any money from, only a passionate hobby, the possibility of having lost most of my images filled me with dread.

But in the end I successfully managed to load the files onto a PC, by copying first the jpeg's in small numbers (10 at the time), and then the RAW files in a similar manner. I felt great relief when I finally managed to import ALL the files into my Aperture Library

The memory card has been used in my K20D since 2009, the camera has seen about 12000 accentuations.

The SanDisc card (SanDisc Extreme III, SDHC, 30mb/s, 16gb) is possibly corrupt or damaged. Is this breakdown something to be expected based on my moderate usage during four years ?

I am grateful for any advice on this matter.

What a superb capture!

A very nice set! I especially like the Spitfire (no 3) and the two shots of the yellow plane taking a vertical dive. I am also impressed with your manual focusing skills!

Bjørn

Thank you Jonathan and George!

I have now edited the original version, inspired by ChrisA's suggestion, and cloned away the aeroplanes. So, for those with hunger for an Auroral time lapse experience, my video is now mostly aeroplane free The edited version is found by using the link at the start of the thread.

Thank you Stan!

Thank you all for taking time watch my "video".

I have in fact cloned out aeroplanes in some of the images I have posted here in another tread. Removing them from all of the affected jpegs used in the video would be quite a lot of work. But I agree that this would improve the viewing experience.

The local airport (Værnes) uses many different paths for flights, depending on the weather conditions. When I recorded my images for the video, there was unusually heavy traffic over the area where I live
