So I went to a nearby US military installation and was taking pictures of something completely ordinary - no where near equipment, flightlines, etc. The security police pulled up, asked questions, made calls, then made me delete my card and wrote me a ticket. Sigh.
On the plus side, I happen to be the person in my office who deals with tickets, so I'll get to sign it as "handled" and send it back. That should give someone a chuckle.
Does anyone know of free recovery software? :-) |

| If you were not on their property, they had no right. If you were on their property, than they can do what they want. You can still get your images back though with recovery software. |

She's in Germany, not the United States -- the rules are likely different there -- or are you referring to German law?

I'm not sure this is quite accurate -- but I don't know anything about German law either.
In the US, even if on their property, the images belong to her. They may be able to confiscate them until a hearing (or such), but they would not be able to make her destroy them. She could be charged with trespassing, but the images would still be hers.
Could be completely different in Germany though.

I have had mixed results with Zero Assumption Recovery. Make sure to turn off anti virus when you run it. It saved files for me on a couple of occasions that I tried it, but also failed on one occasion.

I was actually on the military installation, and I tend to obey their rules if I wish to remain employed. :-) I'll get in touch with the public affairs folks and request permission like I probably should have done in the first place.
And I did find some recovery software. The kicker is I don't think any of the pics are worth keeping - more just an experiment to play with tonemapping. |

if deb was on us military porperty, then she was subject to us laws, not german. however, military law can override civil law. i think. maybe. especially as deb is a serving member of the military. either way, that sucks.
a ruling just came down in canada about a photographer who snapped a pic of a cop somewhere (at a protest, i think) and he got a little stroppy about it. he came over and demanded to see the pics, and that they be deleted. i'm not entirely sure what happened thenandthere, but the ruling was that the camera is the photographer's property, and even the police do not have the right to demand access or deletion. woohoo.

No sorry, I didn't take the time to review your profile. Ignore my short opinion then, but you can still get the images back if you wish. |

I'm not at all worried about it, nor upset about it, and I was very cooperative with the young men who were just doing their job.
The data recovery software I tried is freeware called Smart Data Recovery. It got all of the jpegs, but didn't get all of the first four RAW files - only parts. Just thought I'd add that as a data point for anyone else needing recovery software. I did get at least a couple of my three-exposure shots to play with. And one of them turned out OK. May have to purchase that Photomatix stuff after all.
And no, I won't post the picture. :-) |

If you were on the installation, then they were within their rights. Best to contact public affairs as you mentioned.

| I second PC Inspector. Snap Files has some good utilities. I also use Renamer since, I've rolled my D50 image filename counter. 10,000 images in the year I've own it. |

As far as I know it has long been an offence in Australia to take photos of military installations, even if you are on public land while doing so.
