Digital Photography Tips - # 1

After taking all those fantastic pictures, wouldn't it be a shame to lose them if a media card went missing. Certainly, you could could write your name and other info on the small plastic case. You can even put some info on the sticker on the card itself, but the space is limited and it can wear off.

Here's a more permanent solution, code the info right on the card. Create an image with your name, address, phone number, email, etc., as well as an offer of a reward. Include that image in the root directory of the card and protect it using your camera's protection feature. It won't get deleted when you delete other pictures.

If someone finds your media card and puts it in their camera or computer, all the info will appear.

By the way, the reward is really for the pics, not the physical card since they have become so inexpensive. Determine the reward amount by the value of the pictures to you.
