can i retrieve deleted photos?

I created new albums for the photos that I wanted to keep. I viewed the albums to verify they were there. Then I photo streamed the old photos because I thought this was the only way to delete photos by the album. Somehow, eventhough I didn't check the new photos they got deleted anyway. I went to view the new albums I created and they were empty. Is there a way to retrieve the photos that were lost? My icloud was full at the time and wasn't available for backup.
