The Deleted Photo
A long long time ago my colleague lent me a short-focused lens for my camera. I tested it for a week and this is my favorite shot from that week.
Just after I took this shot, it turned out the place was a police station and one of the police officers decided to teach my friend and me a lesson. He told us that it was forbidden to take photos of a strategically important facility and made us stay there for about two hours. It wasn't too bad because we were in the middle of some programming discussion and time flew by. Then the police officer asked me to show him the photos, without touching the camera and told me to delete this one. Then he let us go.
I was totally pissed off, because even from the preview screen I liked this shot very much. I turned off the camera and didn't touch it until I got home. Then I dove into photo recovery techniques. It was like "make an image of flash card onto my computer's drive; install a program that can recover files from a memory card image; start the recovery process ..." It wasn't easy, but I succeeded.
Enjoy the result!
