Taking pictures while travelling is one of those things tourists cannot do without. What if after taking the photos and later discover that the memory card is broken or some stole the memory card. All the photos, all the memories will be gone forever. This happened to me and I was really mad but I cannot do anything but to chill.

In other not to be a victim of these circumstances I am going to share 6 powerful ways to preserve your pictures.

Don’t use only one memory card.
Memory cards are very cheap and affordable you can buy as many as you want while travelling, maybe from 3 to 5 and above. I would advise you should keep it in different places in your bag. Another thing is, don’t wait for the memory card to be filled before changing. You can rotate it. And ofcos this will reduce the chance of losing your beautiful pictures

Use water-tight cases for your camera and memory cards.

In other to safeguard your camera and your memory cards from damage put them in a water tight cases. Your camera and memory cards are often subjected to the rigours of travel. Don’t expose them to sunlight and rain. Keep in cool/dry place.

Backup your camera.

Backup is another means of safeguarding your pictures. Use external hard drive or your personal computer to back them up. Should in case anything happens to the camera you’re on a safer side as you can easily recover them from your computer or the external hard drive you used to backup.

Use cloud storage services

This is perhaps one of the best ways of backing up. The first time I saw this on google I was glad because it is most reliable and secured. All you need to do is login to your google account and upload the pictures. Just remember your login detail and also beware of hackers. And keep your password safe. I would advise you, you keep it to yourself alone.

Upload it on social network.

Yes you heard me right. Social network like facebook, twitter, Instagram etc is not just for chatting alone you can upload the picture as soon as possible. I do it a lot, once I go on tour as I snap I upload them on my social network.

Don’t just delete pictures

One thing I don’t do is deleting picture anyhow in my phone I keep the first because I may need them later. The habit of deleting pictures you do not want not good and it’s also unprofessional. If you want to delete any pictures, it is advisable to delete it with your camera rather than the one you back up on your personal computer or hard drive. This is because your personal computer may damage or corrupt your memory cards.

Data recovery
If you failed to do any of the above, then the only option left for you is to recover your photos by using a data recovery program or software available. The program or software can recover the photos. Even if your memory card is bad do not throw them away. You can try the data recovery process you may be lucky.
