Any good 'fail' moments? I had a good one today!
Well guess what I did today?
I get out to my client who was nearly 55 minutes from my house, and set up to take the portrait of their family. Everything is all set up, I turn on my camera and
crap! I left the dang memory card at home!!I had to go to a best buy that was 30 minutes away and buy a new one!
Boy do I feel like the silly one!
Wasn't me
Ah it is still good. I have washed one of mine before, along with a couple of cards. Just let them dry out and they are good to go.MYoung wrote: Hopefully my husband isn't listening.
3 weeks ago, I accidentally left my spare battery in my pockets and washed it. I didn't dare to even try to use if afterwards.
Yeah I have been there done that with film. I have also forgot to change the film speed when loading both slower and faster films. One time I went from a 50 to loading a 400 and shooting for the 50. Nothing like beautifully white negatives coming up in the soup. I had might as well of pulled it out the cart in the sun, and then loaded it.Don Fischer wrote: Finally the antelope wandered off and I decided to refill the camera. Refill might not be the right term, fill would have worked better. Never occurred I was getting so many frames from a 20 exp. roll! I never bought 36 exp. rolls! DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!
on the rear bumper of the pickup and took off. AND didn't realize it was not with them till 5 miles down the road. Cracked lens and messed up body from that fall.
