<p>I'm no 10 year veteran.. however in my 2 year career doing weddings I can tell you that I've had a card fail on two occasions.. both times however, they were recoverable as I stopped shooting immediately and replaced it with another card and continued.<br /> Once home, I imaged the corrupt card using some tools and recovered most files.<br /><br />That said, I use multiple 8 gig cards, just seems a lot safer to me. Takes 2 seconds to change out once you're full (I try change it before it's completely full) <br>

This is just how I do it, I feel a lot safer knowing that if something was to happen to one card... I still have others worst case scenario.<br>

Also.. buy from a retail store where you know the card is real.. I've heard from numerous photogs that Ebay cards are 80% fake... not sure if that's true.. but not taking the chance on buying a crappy fake.</p>

<p>Agree with Douglas on this.. likely shot with 3 strobes.. one on top of the half pipe could be a speedlight seeing that it's pretty direct and seeing that the pipe is lit it's likely setup to handle shots of the snowboarder not in the air as well and just at the rim of the halfpipe.<br>

The other 2 strobes light the ramp with gels full power (no reason not to really). </p>
